Is the following shape a square? How do you know? D.
B
X
*C
A. Yes, the opposite sides are parallel, and all sides are the same
length.
B. No, because opposite sides are not parallel.
C. No, because the sides are not congruent.
D. There is not enough information to determine.

x is greater than 5

step-by-step explanation:

2x+7 is greater than 17

    -7                           -7

2x is greater than 10

divide by 2 each side

x is greater than 5

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b

-3(b-8)-5=9(b+2)+1

distribute

-3b+24-5=9b+18+1

add/ subtract

-3b+20=9b+19

20-19= 1

-3b+1=9b

9b+3b= 12b

1=12b

1 divided by 12 = 1/12

answer: 1/12 = b

b: y = 2x + 2

step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x + 1

we want a line that is parallel, so it will have the same slope

the line is in the form y= mx+b, so the slope is 2

we have a slope and the y intercept (0,2)

since x is 0 we know the y point which is the y intercept

we can use y= mx+b to write the equation of the line

m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 2x +2
