Answer:

  (A) see below

  (B) the right angle is at vertex B(-4,11)

  (1) 3x -4y = -46

  (E) the midpoint is (-4, 8.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) The slope of line AB is Δy/Δx = (11-7)/(-4-(-6)) = 4/2 = 2. The slope of line BC is (10-11)/(-2-(-4)) = -1/2. The slopes of AB and BC have a product of 2(-1/2) = -1, so are the slopes of perpendicular lines. The points are distinct, and lines joining two pairs of them are at right angles, so the points form a right triangle.

(B) Point B(-4,11) is the point of intersection of perpendicular segments AB and BC, so is the location of the right angle.

(1) The slope of the hypotenuse AC is ...

  Δy/Δx = (10-7)/(-2-(-6)) = 3/4

In point-slope form, the equation for the line through point A with this slope is ...

  y -7 = 3/4(x +6) . . . . point-slope form of the equation of the hypotenuse

  4y -28 = 3x +18 . . . . multiply by 4

  -46 = 3x -4y . . . . .  . subtract 18+4y

  3x -4y = -46 . . . . . . . standard form equation of the hypotenuse

(E) The midpoint of the hypotenuse is the average of the endpoint coordinates:

  M = (A + C)/2 = (-6-2, 7+10)/2 = (-4, 8.5)

The midpoint of the hypotenuse is M(-4, 8.5).

Alexandra and Austin applied to the same university. They looked up the average SAT score of students admitted to that universit
Deffense [45]

Answer:

x= (y+40)-(y-330)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the information provided, the difference in their scores would be the result of subtracting Austin's SAT score from Alexandra's SAT score.

Then, as Alexandra's SAT score was 40 points above the average score this means that you have to add 40 to the average score to get her result. Also, as Austin's SAT score was 330 points below the average score, this means that you have to subtract 330 from the average score. With this you can write the expression:

x= difference in their scores

y= average score

x= (y+40)-(y-330)

Quadrilateral A has side lengths 2,3,5 and 6. Quadrilateral B has side lengths 4,5, 8 and 10. Could one of the quadrilaterals be
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Quadrilateral A: 2,3,5 and 6

Quadrilateral B: 4,5, 8 and 10

Required

Determine if one is a scale of another

To do that, we have to divide the corresponding lengths to give ratio.

Considering Side of A = 2 and Side of B = 4

Ratio = \frac{B}{A}

Ratio = \frac{4}{2}

Ratio = 2

Considering Side of A = 3 and Side of B = 5

Ratio = \frac{B}{A}

Ratio = \frac{5}{3}

Ratio = 1.67

There's no need to check further, since the two ratios calculated so far do not have the same value;

<em>Hence, one quadrilateral is not a scale of the other</em>
