Answer: Leticia won the first round

==============================================================

Your teacher is basically asking "which value is further from zero on the number line?". The value -19 is 19 units away from zero; while 21 is 21 units away from zero.

See the attached image below. Each "space" is a distance of 1

Absolute value measures distance along the number line. Distance is never negative. In terms of notation, you would say

|-19| = 19 and |21| = 21

The outputs 19 and 21 are then compared. We see that 21 is larger, so therefore, Leticia has the higher score and she won the first round.

5. Solve for each inverse.<br> a. If y = 4x - 10, solve for x.
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

x = \frac{y+10}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = 4x - 10 ( add 10 to both sides )

y + 10 = 4x ( divide both sides by 4 )

\frac{y+10}{4} = x

How do you calculate the area and the perimeter of a parallelogram and a triangle?
Mnenie [13.5K]

for parallelograms:

area = b(h)

so basically, the length times the height. just like how you would find the area of a square.

perimeter: just add all of the sides together.

for triangles:

area = 1/2(b) x h

so half the length multiplied by the height. for example, if the length was 4, you have to use half of that. so that means 2 times whatever the height is.

perimeter: again, just add all three sides together

Complete the square to put () in vertex form. () = 3<br> 2 + 30 − 12. What is the vertex?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

A and A

the equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where ( h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

y = - 2(x + 3)² + 2  is in this form

with vertex = ( - 3, 2)

To find the y-intercept let x = 0

y = - 2(3)² + 2 = - 18 + 2 = - 16

Similarly

y = - 2(x + 2)² + 2 is in vertex form

vertex = ( - 2 , 2)

x = 0 : y = - 2(2)² + 2 = - 8 + 2 = - 6 ← y- intercept

hope this helped

the coordinates of the endpoints of ab and cd are a(x1, y1), b(x2, y2), c(x3, y3), and d(x4, y4). which condition proves that ab
k0ka [10]
Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope. Computing for the slope of line segment ab and line segment cd using m=(y2-y1)/x2-x1):
m of ab=(2-1)/(2-1)=1         m of cd=<span>(4-3)/(4-3)=1
Since line segment ab and line segment cd have the same slope which is 1, then they are said to be parallel. </span>
