The slope of AC is -0.4
Proof:
In triangles ABC and DBE,
∠DBE is common to both triangles.
AB = 2DB (D is the midpoint of the interval AB)
Also, BC = 2BE (E is the midpoint of the interval BC)
Thus triangles ABC and DBE are similar in the ratio 2:1
Since, they are similar, ∠BDE must equal ∠BAC (corresponding angles in similar triangles)
If ∠BDE = ∠BAC, DE must be parallel to AC (corresponding angles are equal along parallel lines)
Thus, the slope of AC = the slope of DE
Thus, the slope of AC is -0.4
Answer:
{x,y} = {3/7,-43/7}
Step-by-step explanation:
System of Linear Equations entered :
[1] x + 3y = -18
[2] -x + 4y = -25
Graphic Representation of the Equations :
3y + x = -18 4y - x = -25
Solve by Substitution :
// Solve equation [1] for the variable x
[1] x = -3y - 18
// Plug this in for variable x in equation [2]
[2] -(-3y-18) + 4y = -25
[2] 7y = -43
// Solve equation [2] for the variable y
[2] 7y = - 43
[2] y = - 43/7
// By now we know this much :
x = -3y-18
y = -43/7
// Use the y value to solve for x
x = -3(-43/7)-18 = 3/7
Solution :
{x,y} = {3/7,-43/7}
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have the equation:

Divide both sides by 3:

Subtract 14:

The value of x is 0
Victoria's method is linear because the number of minutes increase by an equal number (15) every month.
Workings in the attachments below. The green line is the function that has been set up for Victoria. The lines that form a curved looking graph belong to the function that was set up for Zach.
Answer:
The cross section would be a square.
Step-by-step explanation:
The 2 ends of the rectangular prism are squares while the other 4 sides are rectangles. A cross section would be perpendicular to the rectangles, making the cross section a square. The cross section would be parallel to the end squares.
