Answer:

|1 -x| -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value is always non-negative, so the only way the expression will have a negative value is if some negative number is added to the absolute value. Only one answer choice does this:

|1 -x| -2

In the xy plane, a quadrilateral has vertices at (-1, 4), (7,4), (7,5), and (-1. 5). What is the perimeter of the quadrilateral?

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

(B) 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the perimeter of a quadrilateral with vertices at (-1, 4), (7,4), (7,5), and (-1. 5).

First of all, we will draw vertices of quadrilateral on coordinate plane and connect the vertices as shown in the attached photo.

We can see that our quadrilateral is a parallelogram, whose parallel sides are equal.

$\text{Perimeter of quadrilateral}=8+1+8+1$

$\text{Perimeter of quadrilateral}=16+2$

$\text{Perimeter of quadrilateral}=18$

Therefore, the perimeter of the given quadrilateral is 18 units.

I need help on the last part!

stellarik [79]

Answer:

0; (0, 0); 144; (3, 144)

Step-by-step explanation:

Y = distance (m)

X = time (hr)

X = 48x

If a car travels for 0 hours, it will travel __ mile(s).

y = 48x

Plug in 0 hours for x (time in hours)

y = 48(0)

Any number mutliplied by 0 equals 0

y = 0

If a car travels for 0 hours, it will travel 0 miles. This means it will pass through the point (0, 0).

(0, 0) limits our options to graphs B and D

Car travels 144 miles in 3 hours

To find how many miles it travels in 1 hour, divide 144 miles by 3 hours

144 ÷ 3 = 48

In 1 hour, a car travels 48 miles

If 48 × 3 = 144, then 48 × 4 = ?

48 × 4 = 192

When looking at graph D, there are 4 lines above 0

Counting by 48, it perfectly fits 192 by the fourth line

From (0, 0), if we move 3 units to the right we can find the third vertical line intersecting

Since the lines are counted by 48 and we are looking at the third line: 48 × 3 = 144

Use the slope to move 3 units to the right of the origin and 144 unit(s) up to the find the point (3, 144) that can be used to graph the relationship
