Question
- if ln = 8x - 6, lm = x + 7, and mn = 5x + 11, find x and mn.
- given the points below, find xy. round to the nearest hundredths. x(3, 2) and y(6, 3)
- find the midpoint of $overline{ab}$ if a(-2, 11) and b(-6, -7)
- if m is the midpoint of $overline{ab}$, find the coordinates of b if a(11, -2) and m(5, 2)
- if line n bisects $overline{ce}$, find x and cd.
- find the value of x.
- find the value of x.
1.
Step1: Use segment - addition postulate
Since \(LN = LM+MN\), we substitute the given expressions: \(8x - 6=(x + 7)+(5x + 11)\).
Step2: Simplify the right - hand side
\((x + 7)+(5x + 11)=x+5x + 7 + 11=6x+18\). So, \(8x - 6=6x + 18\).
Step3: Solve for \(x\)
Subtract \(6x\) from both sides: \(8x-6x - 6=6x-6x + 18\), which gives \(2x-6 = 18\). Then add 6 to both sides: \(2x-6 + 6=18 + 6\), so \(2x=24\). Divide both sides by 2: \(x = 12\).
Step4: Find \(MN\)
Substitute \(x = 12\) into the expression for \(MN\): \(MN=5x + 11=5\times12+11=60 + 11=71\).
Step1: Use the distance formula \(d=\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}\)
Here, \(x_1 = 3,y_1 = 2,x_2 = 6,y_2 = 3\).
Step2: Substitute the values into the formula
\(XY=\sqrt{(6 - 3)^2+(3 - 2)^2}=\sqrt{3^2+1^2}=\sqrt{9 + 1}=\sqrt{10}\approx3.16\).
Step1: Use the mid - point formula \((\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})\)
Here, \(x_1=-2,y_1 = 11,x_2=-6,y_2=-7\).
Step2: Calculate the coordinates of the mid - point
\(\frac{-2+( - 6)}{2}=\frac{-2-6}{2}=\frac{-8}{2}=-4\) and \(\frac{11+( - 7)}{2}=\frac{11 - 7}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2\).
