Answer:
y = -1/3x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
the slope is -1/3 because you find the the reciprocal and switch the sign. To find the y intercept you plug in the points to the equation.
5 = -1/3(3) + b
5 = -1 + b
6 = b
1/2+1/2=2/2=1 so 1/2 was eaten and the other half was leftovers.

Answer:
98 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of ways you can think about this one. Perhaps easiest is to treat it as a square with a triangle cut out of it. The cutout triangle has a base (across the top) of 14 ft and a height of 14 ft, so its area is ...
A = (1/2)(14 ft)(14 ft) = 98 ft²
Of course the area of the square from which it is cut is ...
A = (14 ft)² = 196 ft²
So, the net area of the two triangles shown is ...
A = (196 ft²) - (98 ft²) = 98 ft²
_____
Another way to work this problem is to attack it directly. Let the base of the left triangle be x. Then the base of the right triangle is 14-x, and their total area is ...
A = A1 + A2 = (1/2)(x ft)(14 ft) + (1/2)((14-x) ft)(14 ft)
We can factor out 7 ft to get ...
A = (7 ft)(x ft + (14 -x) ft)
A = (7 ft)(14 ft) = 98 ft²
Answer:
x = 28
m∠ACD = 68°
Step-by-step explanation:
∠BAE ≅∠DAC because they are vertical angles
∠ACD = 180 - 124 = 56°
to find 'x': 56 + 2x + (180 - 4x) = 180
236 - 2x = 180
-2x = -56
x = 28
m∠ACD = 180 - 4(28) = 180 - 112 = 68°
