Don't know how to express the value of X as any of those answer choices

  x = √(w(w+z))

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea with a right-triangle figure of this sort is that all of the triangles are similar. Here, x is the short side of ∆ABC, and the hypotenuse of ∆BDC. This suggests you want to write a similarity statement involving the short side and hypotenuse.

  BC/AC = DC/BC . . . . . short side/hypotenuse

  BC² = AC·DC . . . . . . cross multiply

  x² = (w+z)w . . . . . . substitute letter values

Taking the square root and rearranging to the form of the applicable answer choice, this is ...

step-by-step explanation:

y = | -2(-2) |     →     y = | 4 |     →     y = 4       ⇒   (-2, 4)

y = | -2(-1) |     →     y = | 2 |     →       y =   2       ⇒   (-1, 2)    

y = | -2(0) |     →     y = | 0 |     →       y = 0         ⇒   (0, 0)

y = | -2(1) |   c →     y = | -2 |     →     y =   2         ⇒   (1, 2)    

y = | -2(2) |     →     y = | - 4 |     →     y =   4         ⇒   (2, 4)
