Answer:

  • 3 cm or 18.75 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the third side is x.

<u>According to Triangle-angle-bisector theorem, we have the possible ratios:</u>

  • x/7.5 = 2/5

or

  • x / 7.5 = 5/2

<u>Solve for x in each case:</u>

1)

  • x = 7.5*2/5 = 3 cm

2)

  • x = 7.5*5/2 = 18.75 cm

Can someone help me find the equation for this line please
pogonyaev

Answer:

y = x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The line y = x  goes through the origin, and forms a perfect 45 degree angle with the x axis.

This is that same line, moved upward 1 unit, so the y value comes out 1 unit more.

Also, in y = mx + b form (slope-intercept form), we see slope m = 1 and y-intercept b = 1, so

y = 1x + 1 = x + 1

y = x + 1
