Which statement is TRUE concerning the slope of the line formed by the hypotenuse of each triangle? A) The slope formed by ΔABC has a value that is 1 2 the slope formed by ΔCDE. B) The slope formed by ΔCDE has a value that is 2 times greater than the slope formed by ΔABC. C) The slope formed by ΔABC has a value that is 2 times greater than the slope formed by ΔCDE. D) The slope formed by ΔABC has a slope that is equal to the slope formed by ΔCDE.

A. The slope formed by ΔABC has a value that is 1/2 the slope formed by ΔCDE

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached.

Slope is the change in y coordinates tom that of x coordinate of a line.

Slope = Δy/Δx

Slope = y2-y1/x2-x1

For ΔABC,

A(-3, 6) and C = (-1, 3)

Slope = 3-6/-1-(-3)

Slope = -3/-1+3

Slope = -3/2

Slope of line AC is -3/2

For ΔCDE,

C = (-1, 3) and E = (3, -3)

Slope = -3-3/3-1

Slope = -6/2

Slope = -3

Slope of line CE is -3

From the calculation above, it can be seen that Slope of ΔABC = 1/2(slope of ΔCDE)

-3/2 = 1/2 (-3)

-3/2 = -3/2

Hence the correct option is A. The slope formed by ΔABC has a value that is 1/2 the slope formed by ΔCDE

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12

this should .
