Answer: D. ( -7, - 2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite this in vertex form and use this to find the vertex. ( h, k )
Answer:
Geometry is a branch of mathematics concerned with questions of shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space. A mathematician who works in the field of geometry is called a geometer.
First, find slope of point A and B using slope formula:
<u>y2-y1</u> = <u>7-0 </u>= <u>-7</u>
x2-x1 3-8 5
Next, use the point-slope formula to find the equation (pick either point A or B to substitute into this equation; the answer will be the same either way):
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-7=<u>-7</u>(x-3) (I used point B here)
5
y=<u>-7x</u> +<u>56</u> so the y-intercept is <u>56</u>. Hurray! Part 1 down!

Now to answer part 2. Since AB ll CD, they have the same slope: <u>-7</u>
5
Therefore, you can use the handy point-slope equation to calculate the equation of line CD. (Remember you only need one of the points to use this equation if you already have the slope.) Since the only point given is D(5,5), we'll use that one:
</span>y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-5=<u>-7</u>(x-5)
<span> 5
</span>y=<u>-7x</u> + 12 Yay! That's the answer to part 2; the equation of line CD

The reason so many objects orbit the Sun in nearly the same plane (called the ecliptic) and in the same direction is that they all formed from this same disk.
While the planets were forming, there was not much peace in our solar system. Clumps of matter of all sizes often collided, and either stuck together or side-swiped each other, knocking off pieces and sending each other spinning. Sometimes the gravity of big objects would capture smaller ones in orbit. This could be one way the planets acquired their moons.
