AC = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$AC = 9x+2\\BC = 5x+1\\AB = 9$

B is between A and C so,

$AC = AB+BC\\9x+2 = 9 + 5x+1\\9x+2 = 5x+10\\9x +2-5x = 10 \\4x +2-2 = 10-2\\4x = 8$

Dividing both sides by 4

$\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{8}{4}\\x = 2$

Putting x=2 in AC

$AC = 9(2)+2\\= 18+2\\= 20$

Hence,

AC = 20

What’s the slope of x+2y=-8?

mash [69]

Answer:

- 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the slope-intercept form to figure out our slope.

y = mx + b

Get y alone:

x + 2y = -8

2y = -x - 8

y = -x/2 - 4

Since m is the slope in y = mx + b, we can see that -1/2 is in the place of m, therefore our slope is -1/2
