If the line segment point is D(-5, 10) and E(a,b) and the midpoint of the segment is F(13, -2) that mean
DE= 2*DF
You can directly find the distance of AC
Xdf= Xf-Xd= 13 - (-5)= 18
Ydf= Yf - Yd= -2 - 10= -12
Then add the distance of AB( which is 2*AC) to point D
Xe= a = Xd + 2*Xdf
a= -5 +2*18= 31
Ye= b = Yd + 2Yf
b= 10+ 2*-12= -14
<span>absolute difference between a and b:
|b-a|= </span>|-14-31|= 45
<span>When a = 3 and b ≠ 5, the system will be inconsistent because the lines will be parallel. When a = 3 and b = 5, the system will be consistent and dependent because they represent the same line.</span>
C. (x + 2)(x + 1)
it can be turned into an equation :)
Answer:
See explanation below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that in △RST and △UVW
- m∠T=180°-m∠R-m∠S;
- m∠W=180°-m∠U-m∠V.
Since ∠R≅∠U and ∠S≅∠V, then ∠T≅∠W.
In ΔRST and ΔUVW:
- ∠S≅∠V (given);
- ∠T≅∠W (proved);
- ST≅VW (given).
ASA theorem that states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
By ASA theorem ΔRST≅ΔUVW.
