Given:

M=(x1, y1)=(-2,-1),

N=(x2, y2)=(3,1),

M'=(x3, y3)= (0,2),

N'=(x4, y4)=(5, 4).

We can prove MN and M'N' have the same length by proving that the points form the vertices of a parallelogram.

For a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal

If we prove that the quadrilateral MNN'M' forms a parallellogram, then MN and M'N' will be the oppposite sides. So, we can prove that MN=M'N'.

To prove MNN'M' is a parallelogram, we have to first prove that two pairs of opposite sides are parallel,

Slope of MN= Slope of M'N'.

Slope of MM'=NN'.

\begin{gathered} \text{Slope of MN=}\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} \\ =\frac{1-(-1)}{3-(-2)} \\ =\frac{2}{5} \\ \text{Slope of M'N'=}\frac{y4-y3}{x4-x3} \\ =\frac{4-2}{5-0} \\ =\frac{2}{5} \end{gathered}

Hence, slope of MN=Slope of M'N' and therefore, MN parallel to M'N'

\begin{gathered} \text{Slope of MM'=}\frac{y3-y1}{x3-x1} \\ =\frac{4-(-1)}{5-(-2)} \\ =\frac{3}{2} \\ \text{Slope of NN'=}\frac{y4-y2}{x4-x2} \\ =\frac{4-1}{5-3} \\ =\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}

Hence, slope of MM'=Slope of NN' nd therefore, MM' parallel to NN'.

Since both pairs of opposite sides of MNN'M' are parallel, MM'N'N is a parallelogram.

Since the opposite sides are of equal length in a parallelogram, it is proved that segments MN and M'N' have the same length.

If a function is defined by the formula y equals 2x + 1 + that domain is given by the set 3, 5, 7, 9 then which set represents t
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

{7, 11, 15, 19}

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is defined by the formula y = 2x + 1 ........ (1)

Now, domain of the function are given to be {3, 5, 7, 9}

Hence, from equation (1), at x= 3, y = 2 × 3 + 1 = 7

Now, at x = 5, y = 2 × 5 + 1 = 11

Again, at x = 7, y = 2 × 7 + 1 = 15

Finally, at x = 9, y = 2 × 9 + 1 = 19

Therefore, the range of the corresponding domain of this function is given to be {7, 11, 15, 19}. (Answer)

Solve the following linear system by graphing <br> 4x+5y=10<br> 3x-3y=21
Inga [223]

Answer:

y = 2

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 5y = 10 | ×3 |

3x - 3y = 21 | ×4 |

12x + 15y = 30

12x - 12y = 84

____________--

27y = -54

y = -54/27

y = 2

4x + 5y = 10 | ×3 |

3x - 3y = 21 | ×5 |

12x + 15y = 30

15x - 15y = 105

____________+

27x = 135

x = 135/27

x = 5
