QRST is a parallelogram. Find x and y.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Wewaii [24]3 years ago
5 0

In parallelograms, opposite sides are congruent, meaning that they are the same lengths. So, we have:

y - 4x = 9

-x + 4 = y

Add x to both sides of the second equation:

y + x = 4

y - 4x = 9

This is a system of linear equations. Solve by eliminating the y and subtracting the two equations:

5x = -5

x = -1

Use x to solve for y:

y + (-1) = 4

y = 5

So, x = -1 and y = 5.

What is the x-intercept of the line 10x-5y=40
jasenka [17]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept occurs when y=0, if you think about it graphically.  Plug y=o into your equation:

10x - 5(0) = 40

10x = 40 (divide each side by 10)

x=4

Help please hurry need help
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

1: D

2: B

3: y=-4x+22

4: y=-8x+26

Step-by-step explanation:

1: Parallel lines have the same slope, and the only one with a slope of 3x is D

2: Perpendicular lines have an opposite slope, so a line with a slope of -1/2 would be 2, so you just flip the number and add or take away a negative sign, depending on the original slope

3: Like I said before, perpendicular lines have an opposite slope, so the slope would be -4. After you've figured that out, you just plug in the numbers given to you (and remember, x is first, y is last)

Plug in: 6=-4(4)+b

You would then solve for b.

6=-16+b

22=b

Then plug that into y=mx+b, with m being the slope (-4) and b being the y intercept (22)

4: The process for finding parallel and perpendicular lines is very similar, except you don't have to change the slope.

Plug in: 10=-8(2)-b

10=-16+b

26=b

Again, plug that into the equation y=mx+b

Hope I could be of help! Sorry if it doesn't make sense, this is my first time on this website.
