Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since M is the midpoint of PQ

PM = MQ = 1/2 PQ

5x+8 = 1/2(76)

5x+8 = 38

5x = 38-8=30

x = 30/5 = 6

Answer:

  • x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>First, let's revise a few definitions.</u>

  • Definition of midpoint: The point that is in the middle of a line.

<u>We know that:</u>

  • M is the midpoint of PQ
  • PM = 5x + 8
  • PQ = 76
  • 2PM = PQ

<u>Work:</u>

  • 2PM = PQ
  • => 2(5x + 8) = 76
  • => 10x + 16 = 76
  • => 10x = 76 - 16
  • => 10x = 60
  • => x = 6

Hence, the value of x is 6 units.

Given two points (3, 7) and (6, 8) with a line drawn through the points, calculate the slope of the line
vredina [299]

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two points on the line, we can find the slope using

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = (8-7)/(6-3)

    = 1/3

Which function describes this table of value x -8, -4, 4, 8, y -2, 0, 4, 6
nadezda [96]

we conclude that the linear equation represented by the given table is:

y = (1/2)*x + 2

<h3>Which function is the one described by the table?</h3>

A general linear equation is given by:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

If the line passes through (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the slope is given by:

a = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Here we can use just the first two points on the given line:

(-8, -2) and (-4, 0)

Then the slope will be:

a = \frac{0 - (-2)}{-4 -(-8)}  = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}

Then the linear equation is something like:

y = (1/2)*x + b

To find the value of b, we can use one of the two given points, I will use (-4, 0), then:

0 = (1/2)*(-4) + b

0 = -2 + b

2 = b

Then we conclude that the linear equation represented by the given table is:

y = (1/2)*x + 2

Then the correct option is the first one.
