Answer:  The answer is -\dfrac{1}{4}.


Step-by-step explanation:  Given that WXZY is a quadrilateral with W located at (-5, 2) and X is located at (3, 0). We need to find the slope of ZY for which the quadrilateral WXZY is a parallelogram.

We know that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel to each other. So, in the attached figure, we must have WX parallel to ZY. And for that, slope of WX = slope of ZY.

Slope of WX is given by

m=\dfrac{0-2}{3-(-5)}=\dfrac{-2}{8}=-\dfrac{1}{4}.

Thus, the slope of ZY must be -\dfrac{1}{2}.

Isosceles triangle, perimeter if the perimeter of isosceles triangle abc is 20 and the length of side ac is 8, what is one possi
Hoochie [10]

The perimeter = 20 and AC = 8

Now as it is not mentioned which sides are equal of the isosceles triangle ABC,

We have two possible situations.

1)

If AC is the base

In that case AB = BC

Now AC = 8, AB = x , BC = x

So x + x + 8 = 20

2x + 8 = 20

2x = 12

x = 6

AB = BC = 6

2)

IF AC is not the base,

Then

AC = BC or AC = AB

So BC = 8 or AB = 8

If AB = AC = 8

Then

BC + 8 + 8 = 20

BC = 4

So there are two possible lengths of BC

Either it is BC = 8 or BC = 6 or BC = 4

The figure is attached for your reference.

Eli and Samantha work at a dry cleaners ironing shirts. Eli can iron 20 shirts per hour, and Samantha can iron 35 shirts per hou
MrRa [10]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of hours Eli worked

y ----> the number of hours Samantha worked

we know that

Eli and they ironed 400 shirts between them

so

 ----> equation A

Samantha worked 2 more hours than Eli

so

----> equation B

solve the system by substitution

substitute equation B in equation A

solve for x

Find the value of y

substitute the value of x in equation B

therefore

The number of hours Eli worked was 6 and the number of hours Samantha worked was 8
