I think it’s A sorry if it’s wrong!
This is known as Einstein's proof, not because he was the first to come up with it, but because he came up with it as a 15 year old boy.
Here the problem is justification step 2. The written equation
BC ÷ DC = BC ÷ AC
is incorrect, and wouldn't get us our statement 2, which is correct.
For similar triangles we have to carefully pair the corresponding parts to get our ratios right:
ABC ~ BDC means AB:BD = BC:DC = AC:BC so BC/DC=AC/BC.
Justification 2 has the final division upside down.
Slope-intercept form:
y = mx + b
"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0, or (0,y))
Rise is the number of units you go up(+) or down(-)
Run is the number of units you go to the right
y = -2x
This has a y-intercept of 0, so the line intersects the y-axis/goes through the origin at (0,0)
The slope is -2 or , so from each point, you go down 2 units, and to the right 1 unit.
Use a calculator and it would give you 1/20. Best of luck!
The answer is simply 12. Hope i have helped :)
