Answer:
d
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are similar, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
=
( cross- multiply )
5(2x + 1) = 8(x + 4) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides )
10x + 5 = 8x + 32 ( subtract 8x from both sides )
2x + 5 = 32 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
2x = 27 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 13.5 → d
Equation of a line:
m = gradient: The difference between two y points and two x points.
c = y-intercept: Where the line crosses the y-axis (x=0)
You have:
so you are missing the m and the c.
To calculate m find two y coordinates -you have (12, <u>7</u>) and (0, <u>1</u>)- and subtract them. Then divide this by the subtracted values of the x coordinates -you have (<u>12</u>, 7) and (<u>0</u>, 1)- This gives:
To calculate the c, you just see where the line crosses the y-axis. Because you have the point (0, 1), you know that when x=0, y=1. Because x=0 is on the y-axis, you can tell that the line passes through y=1. This makes your c = 1:
When you plug these values into the equation you get your answer:
