The possible coordinates for the vertex D of the parallelogram could be (-4, 3)

It is given that A(1, –1), B (–1, 3), and C (4, –1) are the three vertices of the parallelogram.

Let us assume that the vertices are in the order A, C, B, and D where the coordinates of D are (a, b).

In this scenario, if we join AB and CD, they will become the diagonals of the parallelogram ABCD.

According to the properties of a parallelogram, diagonals bisect each other.

Hence, mid-point of AB = mid-point of CD

Now, according to the mid-point theorem, if mid-point of AB is given as (x,y), then,

x = (x₁ + x₂)/2 and y = (y₁ + y₂)/2

Here, for AC,

x₁ = 1, y₁ = -1

x₂ = -1, y₂ = 3

Then, x = ( 1 - 1)/2 and y = (-1 + 3)/2

(x, y) ≡ (0, 1)  ............. (1)

Since (x, y) is also the mid-point of CD, we also have,

x₁ = 4, y₁ = -1

x₂ = a, y₂ = b

Then, x = (4 + a)/2 and y = (-1 + b)/2

(x, y) ≡ ((4 + a)/2, (-1 + b)/2) ................... (2)

From (1) and (2),

(4+a)/2 = 0 and (-1+b)/2 = 1

4+a = 0 and (-1+b) = 2

a = -4 and b = 3

Hence, the fourth vertex D of the parallelogram can be possibly located at (-4, 3)

In a scale drawing, a building has a length of 15 cm. The actual length of the building is 37.5 feet. Whats the scale of the dra
Feliz [49]

Answer:

\frac{15}{37.5}\ \frac{cm}{ft}

or

1.31:100

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale of the drawing is equal to divide the length of a building in the scale drawing by the actual length of a building

so

\frac{15}{37.5}\ \frac{cm}{ft}

That means

15 cm in the drawing represent 37.5 ft in the actual

Remember that

1\ ft=30.48\ cm

Convert 15 cm to ft

divide by 30.48

15\ cm=15/30.48\ ft

substitute

\frac{15}{37.5}\ \frac{cm}{ft}=\frac{(15/30.48)}{37.5}=\frac{0.0131}{1}

or

1.31:100

That means

1.31 units in the drawing represent 100 units in the actual

The line segment formed by joining points A (-1,y) B (0,0), and the line segment joined by forming points C (6,3) D (8,9) share
Airida [17]

Answer:

<h3>-3</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

For two parallel lines. their slope are equal

Find the slope of each of the lines

For line A;

m = 0 -y/0+1

mA = -y/1

For line B;

mB = 9 - 3/8 - 6

mB = 6/2

mB = 3

since their slope are equal hence mA = mB

-y/1 = 3

-y = 3

y = -3

Hence the value of y is -3
