If DEF is congruent to JKL, DE = 18, EF =23, DF = 9x-23, JL = 7x-11, and JK = 3y-21, find the values of x and y

Step-by-step explanation:

if DEF is congruent to JKL, this means that the sides of JKL are all equal to that of DEF.

Hence we can say;

DE = JK

EF = KL

DF = JL

Given

DE = 18,

EF =23,

DF = 9x-23,

JL = 7x-11

JK = 3y-21,

Required

Values of  x and y

Since DE = JK;

18 = 3y-21

18+21 = 3y

39 = 3y

y = 39/3

y = 13

Also, DF = JL

9x-23 = 7x-11

collect like terms

9x - 7x = -11+23

2x = 12

x = 12/2

x = 6

Hence the value of x is 6 and y is 13

step-by-step explanation:

answer: 33 ( approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, in the linear regression formula, the slope is the a in the equation y = b + ax ( by comparing it with the general equation of line y = mx + c )

where,

here given table is,

price ($), x   :           18         23       25       29       30       33

pairs sold, y :         16         13         10       8         6       2

so, ,   ,   ,

and   ,

thus, slop of the given line is,

⇒  

⇒   ≈ 33
