How does the slope formula help you classify figures

1 answer:

Tomtit [17]3 years ago

8 0

Using the distance formula, you can determine the lengths of the sides of the shape. This will help determine if triangles are equilateral, isosceles or scalene; or if quadrilaterals are squares, rectangles, rhombi, or isosceles trapezoids; or if other polygons are regular polygons. The slope formula will tell help you determine if two sides are parallel. In a quadrilateral, this will help you determine if the figure is a parallelogram or a trapezoid.

Factorise the following 4(x-1)²-9 need solution

kumpel [21]

Answer:x= 5/2 x= -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x-1)2-9

4(x2-2x+1) - 9

4x2 - 8x + 4 - 9

4x2 - 8x - 5

4x2 +2x - 10x - 5

2x(2x+1) - 5(2x+1)

(2x-5)(2x+1)

therefore, x= 5/2 x= -1/2

Whats the equation of the line that passes threw -4,4 and is parrell to the line y=1/2-4

vovangra [49]

Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The equation of the known line is:

$y=\frac{1}{2}x-4$

A point on the unknown line is (-4, 4)

Now, since the two lines are parallel, their slopes must be equal.

Now, slope of the known line is the coefficient of 'x' which is $\frac{1}{2}$ .

Therefore, the slope of the unknown line is also $m=\frac{1}{2}$

Now, for a line with slope 'm' and a point on it $(x_1,y_1)$ is given as:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Here, $m=\frac{1}{2}, x_1=-4,y_1=4$ . Therefore,

$y-4=\frac{1}{2}(x-(-4))\\\\y-4=\frac{1}{2}(x+4)\\\\y-4=\frac{1}{2}x+2\\\\y=\frac{1}{2}x+2+4\\\\y=\frac{1}{2}x+6$

Hence, the equation of the unknown line is $y=\frac{1}{2}x+6$ .
