The answer is b because are congruent
Answer: Choice D
(a-e)/f
=======================================
Explanation:
Points D and B are at locations (e,f) and (a,0) respectively.
Find the slope of line DB to get
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (0-f)/(a-e)
m = -f/(a-e)
This is the slope of line DB. We want the perpendicular slope to this line. So we'll flip the fraction to get -(a-e)/f and then flip the sign from negative to positive. That leads to the final answer (a-e)/f.
Another example would be an original slope of -2/5 has a perpendicular slope of 5/2. Notice how the two slopes -2/5 and 5/2 multiply to -1. This is true of any pair of perpendicular lines where neither line is vertical.
7 is closer to 10 and is more than half. 5 and up, go up one. 4 and below, stay the same.
8.475= 8.5
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
1. < 4 is the exterior angle of a triangle given
2. <1 + <2 + <3 =180 basic property of triangles
3. <3 + <4 are a linear pair <3 and <4 are adjacent and form a straight line
4. <3 and <4 are supplementary angles supplementary angles are linear pairs
5. <3 + <4 = 180 The definition of supplementary angles are that they add to 180 degrees
6. <1 + <2 + <3 = <3+ <4 Substitute <3 + <4 for 180 in equation from step 2
7 <1 + <2 = <4 Subtract <3 from each side using the subtraction property of equality
Let's start with a picture.
We see RST is smaller, and BC is parallel to but in the opposite direction to its corresponding segment ST. Both have slope -1.
If we look at the difference of points (technically called vectors but we don't have to go there) we get
C-B=(-2,2)
T-S=(1,-1)
Without further calculation we can see T-S is half the length of C-B.
The problem asks for a dilation followed by a reflection. We know the dilation scale is k=1/2 because the new triangle is half the size.
After dilation we get A'B'C':
A'(3,2), B'(-1,0), C'(-2,1)
We see now we need a reflection that flips the coordinates x and y. That's the +45° line through the origin, namely y=x.
Answer: k=1/2, y=x
