The slopes of the two diagonals of the rhombus are: A. b - f/a - e and -a + e/b - f.

<h3>What is the Slope of a Line Segment?</h3>

To find the slope, the formula used is: change in y/change in x.

If two lines are perpendicular to each other, their slope values will be negative reciprocals.

<h3>What is the Diagonals of a Rhombus?</h3>

In a rhombus, the two diagonals in the rhombus bisects each other at angle 90 degrees. This means that the two diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other. Therefore, the slope of the diagonals of any rhombus would be negative reciprocals.

The slope of the diagonals of the rhombus given would therefore be negative reciprocals to each other.

Given two endpoints of one of the diagonals as:

(a, b) = (x1, y1)

(e, f) = (x2, y2)

Slope (m) = change in y / change in x = b - f/a - e

The negative reciprocal of b - f/a - e is -a + e/b - f.

Therefore, the slopes of the two diagonals are: A. b - f/a - e and -a + e/b - f.

What is the solution of the following system?
erica [24]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: both lines are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

                                   

                                             3x + 3y = 10

                                            -9x -9y = -30

Elimination method

                                            9x + 9x = 30

                                           -9x -  9y = -30

                                              0     0      0

a side of an equilateral triangle is 2/8cm long. Draw a picture that's shows the triangle. What is the perimeter of the triangle
Tom [10]
If the triangle is equilateral it means all the sides are the same length. 

A triangle has three sides. if each side is 2/8cm then the total perimeter if 3*2/8 = 6/8 = 3/4

A candy store sells chocolate for $7.91 per pound. The piece you want to buy is .17 lbs. how much will it cost
Paul [167]

Answer:

1 piece will cost 2 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide 7.91 by 0.17, you will get 0.021492, and if you round that up you will get 0.02 which is 2 cents. Now if you want to find the price of more pieces, you can just multiply 2 by however the person needs to buy, and write that as money :)))

Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form.
fiasKO [112]

y = -\frac{1}{2}x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's pick two points on the line: P_1(-4, 1) and P_2(2, -2). Let's calculate the slope of this line using these points:

m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \dfrac{-2 - 1}{2 - (-4)} = -\dfrac{1}{2}

With this value of the slope, we can write the general slope-intercept form of the equation as

y = -\frac{1}{2}x + b

To solve for the y-intercept b, let's use either P1 or P2. I'm going to use P2:

-2 = -\frac{1}{2}(2) + b \Rightarrow b = -1

Therefore, the slope-intercept form of the equation is

y = -\frac{1}{2}x - 1
