Answer:

Square

Step-by-step explanation:

Plot the vertices of the quadrilateral PQRS on the coordinate plane (see attached diagram). The diagram shows that this is a square. Let's prove it.

1. Find all sides lengths:

PQ=\sqrt{(-3-0)^2+(0-4)^2}=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-4)^2}=\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}=5\\ \\QR=\sqrt{(0-4)^2+(4-1)^2}=\sqrt{(-4)^2+(3)^2}=\sqrt{16+9}=\sqrt{25}=5\\ \\RS=\sqrt{(4-1)^2+(1-(-3))^2}=\sqrt{(3)^2+(4)^2}=\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}=5\\ \\SP=\sqrt{(1-(-3))^2+(-3-0)^2}=\sqrt{(4)^2+(-3)^2}=\sqrt{16+9}=\sqrt{25}=5

All sides have the same lengths.

2. Find the slopes of all lines:

PQ:\ \dfrac{4-0}{0-(-3)}=\dfrac{4}{3}\\ \\QR:\ \dfrac{1-4}{4-0}=-\dfrac{3}{4}\\ \\RS:\ \dfrac{-3-1}{1-4}=\dfrac{4}{3}\\ \\SP:\ \dfrac{0-(-3)}{-3-1}=-\dfrac{3}{4}

Since the slopes of PQ and RS are the same, lines PQ and RS are parallel. Since the slopes of QR and SP are the same, lines QR and SP are parallel.

The slopes \frac{4}{3} and -\frac{3}{4} have the product of

-\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot \dfrac{4}{3}=-1,

then lines are pairwise perpendicular.

This means PQRS is a square.

QUESTION 6 OF 17 A Lyft driver has received 160 reviews with an average rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars. If the driver wanted to ra
dexar [7]
He needs 160 5-star reviews in a role. We can write a function to solve this problem. His current total stars is 4.4*160=704. Suppose he needs x more 5-star reviews, then his total stars will be 704+5x. 160+x is the new number of reviews, and the new average will be 4.7, so 4.7*(160+x)=704+5x. The solution is 160. Besides, if you want to get the answer really fast, you can see that 4.7 is right in the middle of 4.4 and 5, so you can immediately guess that the number of new 5-star reviews should be equal to the number of current reviews.

I don’t know how to solve this
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{4} x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) =( 8, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 5)

m = \frac{-5+3}{0-8} = \frac{-2}{-8} = \frac{1}{4}

Note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 5 ) ⇒ c = - 5

y = \frac{1}{4} x - 5 ← equation of line

1/7(1000) = 1/7(7000/7)

1*7000
7*7

7000
49

1000
7

so 1/7(1000) = 1000/7 or 142 6/7
