Sergio wants to write equations in the form y = mx + b for the lines passing through point P that are parallel and perpendicular to line h. First he finds the slopes of these 2 lines. What could he do next to find the y-intercepts?

  b = m(Px) -(Py)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the equation ...

  y = mx + b

for b gives ...

  b = mx - y

If the given point is (Px, Py), Sergio can find the y-intercepts using this equation.

For each slope (m), the corresponding y-intercept is ...

  b = m(Px) -(Py)

Substitute the slope and the coordinates of point P in y = mx + b and then solve for b for each equation.

I have OCD & got it correct.

step-by-step explan mxfcg'k; uafwgzfgjhklhgation:

b. 18

step-by-step explanation:

so the equation for this is:

ab^2=ac⋅ad

ab being the top length of 6 and ac being the length of 2 and ad being the length of x. let's plug into the equation:

6^2 = 2x

now lets just solve for x:

36 = 2x

18 = x

i hope that !
