Answer:

x = (c+a)/2

y = (c-a)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=c

x-y=a

Add together to eliminate y

x+y=c

x-y=a

--------------

2x = c+a

Divide by 2

2x/2 =(c+a)/2

x = (c+a)/2

Multiply the second equation by -1

-x+y =-a

Add the first equation

x+y =c

-x+y=-a

-----------------

2y = c-a

Divide by 2

2y/2= (c-a)/2

y = (c-a)/2

The slope of AB is -2/5. Segment CD has endpoints at C(-5,3) and D(10,-3). Are AB and CD parallel, perpendicular or neither? Jus

Answer:

Neither

Step-by-step explanation:

When I input segment CD onto a graph, I get -0.4 as the slope or 15/-6. If the lines were parallel, they would need to have the same slope which they do not have. If they were perpendicular, they would need to have different slopes so, -2/5 and 5/2 which they do not. That leaves us with the only option of neither.
