The equation of the line passing through the points (6, 9) and (4, 17) can be expressed as y = mx + b. give the value of b

The slope -intercept form of linear equation is y=mx+b.

Where m= slope and b=y-intercept.

Formula to find m is,

The line passes through (6,9) and(4, 17). So, we can plug in x1=6, y1=9, x2=4 and y2=17 in the above formula. So,

So, m=-4

Now we can plug in m=-2, x=6 and y=9 in y=mx+b to get the value of b. So,

9=(-4)*(6)+b

9=-24+b

9+24=b Adding 24 to each sides.

So, b=33.

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
