Answer:
1 and 2.
Midpoints calculated, plotted and connected to make the triangle DEF, see the attached.
- D= (-2, 2), E = (-1, -2), F = (-4, -1)
3.
As per definition, midsegment is parallel to a side.
Parallel lines have same slope.
<u>Find slopes of FD and CB and compare. </u>
- m(FD) = (2 - (-1))/(-2 -(-4)) = 3/2
- m(CB) = (1 - (-5))/(1 - (-3)) = 6/4 = 3/2
- As we see the slopes are same
<u>Find the slopes of FE and AB and compare.</u>
- m(FE) = (-2 - (- 1))/(-1 - (-4)) = -1/3
- m(AB) = (1 - 3)/(1 - (-5)) = -2/6 = -1/3
- Slopes are same
<u>Find the slopes of DE and AC and compare.</u>
- m(DE) = (-2 - 2)/(-1 - (-2)) = -4/1 = -4
- m(AC) = (-5 - 3)/(-3 - (-5)) = -8/2 = -4
- Slopes are same
4.
As per definition, midsegment is half the parallel side.
<u>We'll show that FD = 1/2CB</u>
- FD =
=
= 
- CB =
=
= 2
- As we see FD = 1/2CB
<u>FE = 1/2AB</u>
- FE =
=
= 
- AB =
=
= 2
- As we see FE = 1/2AB
<u>DE = 1/2AC</u>
- DE =
=
= 
- AC =
=
= 2
- As we see DE = 1/2AC
Answer:
(x-4)(x-3)
Step-by-step explanation:

multiply 1 and 12= 12
find two numbers that multiply to get twelve AND add together to get -7(the middle number)
the two numbers are -3 and -4 (they add up to get -7 AND multiply together to get 12)
plug in these numbers for -7x

x(x-3)-4(x-3)
the bolded is the first binomial and the second binomial is in the parenthesis.
(x-4)(x-3)

Answer:
7) a= 20
8) m= 5
9)n = 5
10) b = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
7) 18+2=-2+2+a
>> 20 = a >> a = 20
18 + 2 = 20 so that isolates the variable leaving a = 20
8) -7+12 = m -12+12
>>> 5 = m >> m = 5
-7 + 12 = 5 so that again isolates the variable leaving m = 5
9) <u>-8(7</u> + <u>7n</u>) = -336
>> -56+56 + -56n = -336+56
>>> -56n/-56 = -280/-56
>>>> n = 5
use distributive property, cancel out necessary numbers, isolate the variable. leaving n = 5.
10) -140 = <u>-7(-4 </u>+ <u>3b)</u>
>> -140 = 28 - 21b >> -140-28 = -21b +28-28 ( flipped the numbers)
>>> -168/-21 = -21b /-21
>>>> 8 = b >> b =8
Hope it helps!
Answer:
a+4b-24
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to multiply the entire equation by 4, which get you a+4b-24
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
let f(x) = y and rearrange making x the subject
y =
( multiply both sides by 7 to clear the fraction )
7y = x + 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
7y - 2 = x
Change y back into terms of x with x the inverse function, that is
p(x) = 7x - 2
