¿Cuál es la ecuación de la recta que pasa por el punto? (-1,-5) y tiene una
pendiente de - 1?

y=-1x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-5)=-1(x-(-1)

y+5=-1(x+1)

y+5=-1x-1

y=-1x-5-1

y=-1x-6

y=3n + 1

step-by-step explanation:

this is wrong because it says the second number is one less and i added one instead

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
