A right triangle has the two legs that form an angle of 90°, which means that the two legs are perpendicular.

In order to prove that FGH is a right triangle, you need to calculate the slopes of the lines passing through its vertexes and see if there is a pair of opposite reciprocals:

m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

m(FG) = (-9 - 4) / (5 - 2) = -13/3
m(FH) = (-4 - 4) / (-3 - 2) = 8/5
m(HG) = (-4 -(-9)) / (-3 - 5) = -5/8

Since m(FH) and <span>m(HG) are opposite reciprocals, FH is perpendicuar to HG and FGH is a right triangle.</span>

The answer is C)The slope of GH = − 5/ 8 , and the slope of FH =  8/ 5 ; therefore, GH ⊥ FH.

(x-1)^2+(2-x)^2-3(x-5)*(x-5)
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

-x^2+24x-70

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-1)^2+(2-x)^2-3(x-5)*(x-5)\\=> (x - 1)^2 + (2 - x)^2 - 3(x - 5)^2\\=> x^2 - 2x + 1 + 4 - 4x + x^2 - 3(x - 5)^2\\=> x^2 - 2x + 5 - 4x + x^2 - 3(x - 5)^2\\=> x^2 - 6x + 5 + x^2 - 3(x - 5)^2\\=> 2x^2 - 6x+5 - 3(x - 5)^2\\=> 2x^2 - 6x+5 - 3(x^2 - 10x + 25)\\=> 2x^2 - 6x+5  - 3x^2+30x-75\\=> -x^2 - 6x + 5 + 30x - 75\\=> -x^2 + 24x + 5-75\\=> -x^2+24x-70

Formula used =

(a-b)^2 = a^2+ 2ab + b^2

What is 2 = y/5-8 plzzz answer!!!
umka2103 [35]
It's a simple linear equation in 'y'.  There is only one number that 'y' can be
that will make the equation a true statement.  That number is called the
'solution' to the equation.   Here's one way to find it:

You said that                         <u> 2  =  y/5 - 8</u>

Add  8  to each side:          10  =  y/5

Multiply each side by  5:  <em>  50  =  y</em>
