Which of the following sets of numbers could represent the three sides of a triangle?

{5, 15, 19}

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the triangle inequality theorem, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a ∆ must be greater than the length of the third side.

Thus, any of the given sets of numbers will represent the 3 sides of a ∆, if the following condition is satisfied:

a + b > c

b + c > a

a + c > b

Where a and b are the smaller side lengths, and c is the length of the longest side.

Let's check each set of numbers given to see if any satisfies this condition.

✍️Option 1: {6, 20, 28}

6 + 20 is not greater than 28

20 + 28 > 6

6 + 28 > 20

❌This set of numbers does not represent the sides of a ∆.

✍️Option 2: {4, 11, 15}

4 + 11 = 15

11 + 15 > 4

4 + 15 > 11

❌This set of numbers does not represent the sides of a ∆.

Option 3: {9, 19, 30}

9 + 19 is not greater than 30

19 + 30 > 9

9 + 30 > 19

❌This set of numbers does not represent the sides of a ∆

Option 4: {5, 15, 19}

5 + 15 > 19

15 + 19 > 5

5 + 19 > 15

✅This set of numbers does not represent the sides of a ∆

Only option 4, satisfied the condition stated earlier, therefore, based on the triangle inequality theorem, {5, 15, 19}, is the set of numbers that represents the 3 sides of a triangle.

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)
