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.

Solve the system <br> 2x+y=-3 <br> -2y=6+4x
ANEK [815]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Write out the 2 equations:

2x + y = -3

-2y = 6+4x

-You then pick a variable that you want to solve for. I chose to solve for y because it would be a bit easier.

-2y = 6 + 4x

-Divide both sides by -2 to isolate the variable

(-2y) / -2 = (6 + 4x) / -2

-it comes out to y = -3 -2x

-Now that you have the y you can plug in the value into the second equation.

2x + y = -3   --->   2x + (-3 -2x) = -3

This can be simplified to:

2x - 3 - 2x = -3

The 2x's cancel out because there is a +2x and a -2x. You are left with a

-3 = -3. If you add 3 to both sides of the equation you end up with 0 = 0, which can be simplified to just 0.

Which of the following must be true?
Ilya [14]
The answer is C, when numbers or variables are between "|" (also called bars) it means to remove any negative symbols and think of it as a positive number. If the number is already positive you keep it a positive number.
