Given:
Quadrilateral PQRS
P(o, o), Q(a+c, o), R(2a+c, b), S(a, b)
Find:
whether the diagonals are perpendicular using coordinate geometry
Solution:
If the diagonals are perpendicular, their slopes multiply to give -1.
The slope of PR is
(b-o)/(2a+c-o)
The slope of QS is
(b-o)/(a-(a+c)) = (b-o)/(-c)
The product of these slopes is
(b-o)·(b-o)/((2a+c-o)(-c))
This value will not be -1 except for very specific values of a, b, c, and o.

It cannot be concluded that the diagonals of PQRS are perpendicular based on the given coordinates.

The 2 equations are
18.20x+19.50y=230.10
and
x+y=12
where x is the months of original cost and y is months for new cost. Since you know that you paid for one year (12 months) you can make the second equation. Then you want to substitute the first equations x by making the second equation
x=(12-y)
18.20(12-y)+19.50y=230.10
218.40-18.20y+19.50y=230.10
1.30y=11.70
y=9
so that means you had the original rate for 3 months and the new one for 9 months

There are 25 questions on your math test. You have completed 5 questions so far. What fraction of the total questions do you sti

Answer:

$\frac{4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have completed $5$ questions, you still have $25-5=20$ more questions to answer. We need to find what fraction $20$ is of $25$ , if that makes sense. A fraction is simply a part over a whole. In this case, the part is $20$ and the whole is $25$ . Therefore, the fraction we are looking for is $\frac{20}{25}$ , which simplifies to $\frac{4}{5}$ . Hope this helps!
