Using the given information, the midpoint of CD is (2.5, 4.5)

<h3>Midpoint of a line </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the midpoint of line CD

The midpoint of a line is given by the formula,

[(x₁ + x₂)/2 , (y₁ + y₂)/2]

From the given information, we are to find the midpoint of line CD with coordinates C(​4,5) and ​D(​1,​4)

∴ x₁ = 4

x₂ = 1

y₁ = 5

y₂ = 4

Putting the parameters into the formula for midpoint, we get

[(x₁ + x₂)/2 , (y₁ + y₂)/2]

[(4 + 1)/2 , (5 + 4)/2]

(5/2 , 9/2)

(2.5, 4.5)

Hence, the midpoint of CD is (2.5, 4.5)

Angl is a square. The equation of line NG is Y= 1/2 X - 6. Find the equation of line LG in slope intercept form given that the c
Irina18 [472]

Answer: y=-2x-9

Step-by-step explanation:

If ANGL is a square, then NG and LG are adjacent sides.

Adjacent sides are perpendicular.  [Each angle is 90°]

The equation of line NG is Y=\dfrac12 X-6.

By comparing it to equation in slope intercept form y=mx+c ( where , m= slope , c=y-interecpt)

slope =\dfrac12

Let slope of LG be <em>n</em>, then

n\times \dfrac{1}{2}=-1 [Product of slopes of two perpendicular line =-1]

\Rightarrow n=-2

Equation of a line passes through (a,b) and have slope m is given by :-

(y-b)=m(x-a)

Equation of LG :

(y-1)=-2(x-(-5))\\\\\Rightarrow\ y-1=-2x-10\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=-2x-9 [In intercept form]

Are 22 42 60 a right triangle or not?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:First things first, let's explain what a right triangle is. The definition is very simple and might even seem obvious for those who already know it: a right-angled triangle is a triangle where one and only one of the angles is exactly 90°. The other two angles will clearly be smaller than the right angle because the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°.

In a right angled triangle the sides are defined in a special way. The side opposing the right angle is always the biggest in the triangle and receives the name of "hypotenuse". The other two sides are called catheti. The relationship between the hypotenuse and each of the cathetus is a very simple one, as we will see when we will talk about Pythagoras' theorem.

Hypotenuse calculator

If all you want to calculate is the hypotenuse of a right triangle, this page and its right triangle calculator will work just fine. However, we would also recommend to use the specific tool we have developed at Omni Calculators: the hypotenuse calculator. The hypotenuse is opposite the right angle and can be solved by using the Pythagorean theorem. In a right triangle with cathetus a and b and with hypotenuse c, Pythagoras' theorem states that: a² + b² = c².

To solve for c, take the square root of both sides to get c = √(b²+a²). This extension of the Pythagorean theorem can be considered as a "hypotenuse formula". A Pythagorean theorem calculator is also an excellent tool for calculating the hypotenuse.

Let's now solve a practical example of what it would take to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle without using any calculators available at Omni:

Obtain the values of a and b,

Square a and b,

Sum up both values: a² + b²,

Take the square root of the result,

The square root will yield a positive and negative result. Since we are dealing with length, disregard the negative result,

The resulting value is the value of the hypotenuse c.

Now let's see what the process would be using one of Omni's calculator, for example, the right triangle calculator on this web page:

Insert the value of a and b into the calculator

Obtain the value of c immediately

As a bonus, you will get the value of the area for such a triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:Hope this helped u also may i have brainlist plz?

If a point P(–1, –1) is reflected across the line y = –2, what are the coordinates of its reflection image?
Ksivusya [100]
Since the line of refrection is a horizontal line, the x-coordinate of the image will be the same as the x-coordinate of the point P(-1, -1). P(-1, -1) is one unit above the line y = -2, hence the image will be one unit below the line y = -2. Therefore the coordinate of the image is (-1, -3)

2 numbers are in the ratio 1:2 if the first number is decreased by 5 and second number is increased by 4 their ratio becomes 5:4
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

-20/3 & -40/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s say that the 1st number is X and the 2nd number is Y.

Given that x:y = 1:2 => x/y = 1/2 => 2x = y

and a-5/y+4 = 5/4 (The first number is decreased by 5 and the second number is increased by 4.)

=> 4(x - 5) = 5 (y + 4)

=> 4x - 20 = 5y + 20

=> 4x - 5y = 40

As, 2x = y , 4x = 2y

=> 2y - 5y = 40

=> -3y = 40

=> y = -40/3 ; x = y/2 = -20/3

This might be confusing but I hope this helps :)
