<h2>Answer:</h2>

Two are the keys of this problem. First, a parallelogram is a quadrilateral (a polygon with four sides) where both pairs of opposite sides are parallel. Second, for every parallelogram its diagonals bisect each other, that is, each diagonal is divided into two equal parts. So, from the figure it is true that:

\overline{RU}=\overline{UT} \\ \\ \overline{QU}=\overline{US}

Since \overline{RU}=9.5

Then:

\overline{UT}=\overline{RU}=9.5 \\ \\ And: \\ \\ \overline{RT}=\overline{RU}+\overline{UT}=9.5+9.5 \\ \\ \overline{RT}=19

A line passes through the point (-3, -3) and has a slope of 1/2. What is the equation of the line?
harina [27]
To solve this, we need to understand Slope Intercept Form (SIF), as well as how to graph a line.

SIF is the standard equation of lines on graphs. It is "y=mx+b" where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0.

To find the y-intercept (which we will need to form the equation), we should simply graph the line. This will let us visualize the y-intercept, and overall make it easier to understand.

To graph a line, we should start with the point we have (that being (3, 3)) and follow the slope with rise/run. This means in this case, we will go right 2 for every 1 up, or 2 left for every 1 down.

Below I have attached a graph to help you see how to graph this, which we will get our equation from. The highlighted area is our y-intercept. The red circle shows our original point (3,3), and the blue dots show our slope.

Using the graph, we can see the equation for this line is y=1/2x+1.5.

What is the equation of a circle centered at the origin with radius 20?
Colt1911 [192]
We know that
the equation of a circle is
(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²
where 
(h,k)-----> is the center
r--------> is the radius

is the center is the point (0,0) and radius  r=20
then
(h,k) is (0,0)

(x-0)²+(y-0)²=20²---------> (x)²+(y)²=400


the answer is
the option D.)  x2 + y2 = 400

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

h = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

-7πh = 98π

⇔ -7h = 98   (Just Divide both sides by π)

⇔ h = 98 ÷ (-7) = -14
