Answer:

The Slope of AB: 5/1

The Slope of DC: -1/5

The Slope of BC: 2/3

The Slope of AD: 2/3

The quadrilateral is a trapezoid because BC and AD are parallel to each other while AB and DC are congruent.

Answer:   Yes, the quadrilateral ABCD is a TRAPEZOID.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the co-ordiantes of the vertices of quadrilateral ABCD are  A(–4, –5), B(–3, 0), C(0, 2), and D(5, 1).

We are to determine whether the quadrilateral ABCD is a trapezoid or not.

<u><em>TRAPEZOID:</em></u><em>  It is a quadrilateral having one pair of opposite sides parallel.</em>

We will find the slopes of all the sides AB, BC, CD and DA of quadrilateral ABCD as follows:

\textup{slope of AB}=\dfrac{0-(-5)}{-3-(-4)}=\dfrac{5}{1}=5,\\\\\\\textup{slope of BC}=\dfrac{2-0}{0-(-3)}=\dfrac{2}{3},\\\\\\\textup{slope of CD}=\dfrac{1-2}{5-0}=\dfrac{-1}{5}=-\dfrac{1}{5},\\\\\\\textup{slope of DA}=\dfrac{-5-1}{-4-(-5)}=\dfrac{-6}{-9}=\dfrac{2}{3}.

Since the slopes of sides BC and DA are equal, so the sides are parallel.

Hence, the quadrilateral ABCD has one pair of opposite sides parallel.

Thus, quadrilateral ABCD is a TRAPEZOID.

Andrea's Sequoia gets 12 miles per gallon while driving in the city, and 20 miles per gallon while on the highway. The last time
Oxana [17]

Answer:

60miles

Step-by-step explanation:

if they drove x miles in the city and y miles on the highway then you know that

x + y = 280

x/12 + y/20 = 16

x + 12y/20 = 16*12 = 192

8y/20 = 88

y = 220

x = 280-y = 280-220 = 60

Solve<br><br> 6x + 8 = 2x + 11<br><br> Thanks
hammer [34]
The equation given in the question should be written down first and then the process should start for solving and finding the value of the unknown variable "x".
6x + 8 = 2x + 11
6x - 2x = 11 - 8
4x = 3
x = 3/4
The value of the unknown variable "x" comes out to be 3/4. I hope the procedure for solving this equation is clear enough for you to understand. In future you can always use this procedure to get to the solution of similar problems.
