Check the picture below

now, we know is a parallelogram, so the diagonals will bisect

looking at the picture, the interior angles are not right-angles, and thus is not a rectangle, and is not a square either, due to the same reason

is it a rhombus?  well, a rhombus, is a parallelogram, that's "slanted" per se, but regardless of how slanted it may be, the sides are all equal

now, we don't need to check the length of both pairs, just one of the segments of each pair, let's check only then JK and KL, the ones in red in the picture, since each pair of segments are twin, if JK = KL, then that means all sides are equal

\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
J&({{-7 }}\quad ,&{{ -2}})\quad 
%  (c,d)
K&({{ 0}}\quad ,&{{ 4}})\\\\
K&({{ 0}}\quad ,&{{ 4}})\quad 
%  (c,d)
L&({{ 9}}\quad ,&{{ 2}})
\end{array}\qquad 
%  distance value
d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}
\\\\\\
JK=\sqrt{[0-(-7)]^2+[4-(-2)]^2}\implies JK=\sqrt{(0+7)^2+(4+2)^2}
\\\\\\
JK=\sqrt{7^2+6^2}
\\\\\\
KL=\sqrt{(9-0)^2+(2-4)^2}\implies KL=\sqrt{9^2+(-2)^2}

now... another characteristic of a rhombus is, the diagonals, meet at right-angle, that means KM ⟂ JL

and that simply means, if you get the slope of KM and the slope of JL, the product of their slope is -1

\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%   (a,b)
K&({{ 0}}\quad ,&{{ 4}})\quad 
%   (c,d)
M&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ -4}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope  = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{-4-4}{2-0}

\bf -------------------------------\\\\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%   (a,b)
J&({{ -7}}\quad ,&{{ -2}})\quad 
%   (c,d)
L&({{ 9}}\quad ,&{{ 2}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope  = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{2-(-2)}{9-(-7)}\implies \cfrac{2+2}{9+7}

then multiply both slopes, if their product is -1, that means, they're perpendicular to each other, and it IS a rhombus only, then.

Answer:

1st Option is correct that is JKLM is a Rhombus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Coordinates JKLM Parallelogram.

J( -7 , -2 ) , K( 0 , 4 ) , L( 9 , 2 ) and M( 2 , -4 )

We use distance formula to find distance between two finds.

Distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Figure is attached with given coordinates.

So, Clearly It is not a Square or a Rectangle.

Thus It will be Rhombus.

Using Distance formula,

JK=\sqrt{(-7-0)^2+(-2-4)^2}=\sqrt{(-7)^2+(-6)^2}=9.2

JM=\sqrt{(-7-2)^2+(-2-(-4))^2}=\sqrt{(-9)^2+(2)^2}=9.2

LM=\sqrt{(9-2)^2+(2-(-4))^2}=\sqrt{(7)^2+(2)^2}=9.2

KL=\sqrt{(0-9)^2+(4-2))^2}=\sqrt{(-9)^2+(2)^2}=9.2

Therefore, 1st Option is correct that is JKLM is a Rhombus.

Carlotta collects stamps. She owns f stamps from France and 15 more than twice this amount of American stamps. Which expression
Digiron [165]

Answer:

D: 2f+15

Step-by-step explanation:

f is the number of stamps from France that Carlotta owns.

Twice this amount is 2f

Then, 15 more than twice this amount is 2f + 15, and this is the expression that represents the number of American stamps that Carlotta owns
