A city is 7,642 feet above sea level. Is this elevation closer to the highest point or the lowest point?

Answer:

It must be closer to the lowest point.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a simple and a general explanation to it. As it gets higher up from the sea level, the elevation gets closer to the lowest point simply because the distance from the highest point keeps decreasing as you get closer. The elevation is the distance left between the highest point and the current point.

Lydia graphed ADEF at the coordinates D (-2,-1), E (-2, 2), and F (0,0). She thinks ADEF is a right triangle. Is Lydia's asserti

Setler79 [48]

The true statement is (c) No; the slopes of segment EF and segment DF are not opposite reciprocals.

<h3>Right triangles </h3>

Right triangles have a pair of perpendicular lines

Coordinates

The coordinates are given as:

D = (-2,-1)
E = (-2,2)
F = (0,0)

<h3>Slopes</h3>

Start by calculating the slopes of lines DF and EF using:

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

So, we have:

$m_{DF} = \frac{0 + 1}{0 +2}$

$m_{DF} = \frac{1}{2}$

Also, we have:

$m_{EF} = \frac{0 -2 }{0+2}$

$m_{EF} = \frac{-2 }{2}$

$m_{EF} = -1$

For the triangle to be a right triangle, then the calculated slopes must be opposite reciprocals.

i.e.

$m_1 = -\frac{1}{m_2}$

By comparison, the slopes of both lines are not opposite reciprocals.

Hence, the true statement is (c)

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

d = 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

combined speed = 7 + 9 = 16 mph

s = d/t

d = st

d = 16 miles/hr × 0.25 hr

d = 4 miles

How are the locations on a coordinate grid different for the ordered pairs (7,0) (0,7)

erik [133]

7,0 starts from 7 on the x-axis and stays there since it's 0. Then 0,7 starts from the origin on 0 and goes up 7.
