The perimeter of square RSTV is: 17.88 units

Further explanation:

As the given figure is a square, all of its sides will be equal. So we have to find one side to find the perimeter.

Given

R(-1,5), S(-3,1), T(-7,3), and V(-5,7)

The distance formula will be used to find the side

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^@}$

Let x be one side of square

$RS=x=\sqrt{(-3-(-1))^2+(1-5)^2}\\=\sqrt{-3+1)^2+(-4)^2}\\=\sqrt(-2)^2+(-4)^2}\\=\sqrt{4+16}\\=\sqrt{20}\\=4.47$

Let P be the perimeter of square

P= 4x

P=4*4.47

=17.88 units

The perimeter of square RSTV is: 17.88 units

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the best prediction for the amount of numbered cards that will be drawn during the game, first find the probability of drawing a numbered card. There are 36 numbered cards and 48 total cards. So, the probability of drawing a numbered card is or .

Now, multiply the probability by the number of times a card will be drawn from the deck. Since there are 10 rounds and 4 players, a card will be drawn from the deck 10 × 4, or 40, times. So, multiply by 40.

Therefore, the best prediction for the amount of numbered cards that will be drawn during the game is 30.

Find the slope of the line that passes through the<br> points (-4, 7) and (3,-2)

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

-9/7

Step-by-step

Slope Formula:

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We can plug in the numbers 7 and -2 for the y and -4 and 3 for x

$\frac{7-(-2)}{-4-3} =\frac{9}{-7}$

telo118 [61]

Answer:

y = -2x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

P.S: I solved it twice to show you that it doesn't matter which point you choose, you will get the same result.

But it is important when you calculate the slope
