Answer:

(x,y)=(0,\frac{-2}{3})

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Vertices of Triangle P(x_1,y_1)=(-4,-1) , Q(x_2,y_2)=(2, 2) and R(x_3,y_3)=(2,-3)

To find : Centroid of a triangle

The centroid of a triangle is the point of intersection of the three medians of the triangle.

The formula to calculate the centroid of a triangle is:

(x,y)=(\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3}{3},\frac{y_1+y_2+y_3}{3})

Where, x_1,x_2,x_3,y_1,y_2,y_3  are the coordinates of the centroid

Substituting the values in the formula gives us:

(x,y)=(\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3}{3},\frac{y_1+y_2+y_3}{3})

(x,y)=(\frac{-4+2+2}{3},\frac{-1+2-3}{3})

(x,y)=(\frac{0}{3},\frac{-2}{3})

Therefore, (x,y)=(0,\frac{-2}{3})

Can Anyone help me with this assignment please

Answer: Answers are in step by step. please like and give a review.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. An obtuse angle is an angle that is greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.

2. 5x - 8 = 37 if and only if x = 9.

3. If two angles have the same measure, then they are congruent. If two angles are not congruent, then they do not have the same measure. If two angles do not have the same measure, then they are not congruent.

4. 2x + 5 = 3 , then x = 3

5. With 3 equal sides is a equilateral triangle

Triangle ABC is similar to Triangle FGH. What is the value of x in centimeters?
EleoNora [17]

<u>Given</u>:

Given that the triangle ABC is similar to triangle FGH.

We need to determine the value of x.

<u>Value of x:</u>

Since, the triangles are similar, then their sides are proportional.

Thus, we have;

\frac{AC}{FH}=\frac{AB}{GF}=\frac{BC}{GH}

Let us consider the proportion \frac{AB}{GF}=\frac{BC}{GH} to determine the value of x.

Substituting AB = 9 cm, GF = 13.5 cm, BC = 15 cm and GH = x, we get;

\frac{9}{13.5}=\frac{15}{x}

Cross multiplying, we get;

9x=15 \times 13.5

9x=202.5

 x=22.5 \ cm

Thus, the value of x is 22.5 cm

Hence, Option F is the correct answer.

What is slope and how is it determined on a graph
BaLLatris [955]
A slope is the change in position with respect to x and y. Use y2-y1 over x2-x1. The 2s and 1s are supscripts in this equation.

iVinArrow [24]
Well, that would be $0.17 per crayon with tax. The answer with out tax depends on where they were bought. Tax where I live would be 7%, making the crayons' shelf price $19.60, that would be $0.15 per crayon.
