This polynomial does not factor so you have to complete the square or use Quadratic formula.
x^2 + 6x + 7 = 0
Using completing the square, subtract 7 from both sides.
x^2 + 6x = -7
divide 6 by 2 = 3, square 3 = 9, add 9 to both sides.
x^2 + 6x + 9 = 2
(x + 3)^2 = 2
Take the sqrt of both sides
x + 3 = + - sqrt 2
subtract 3 from both sides
x = - 3 + - sqrt 2
This is not an answer choice but it is the correct answer. You either typed the choices incorrectly or the equation incorrectly.
Point R is the midpoint of FE¯¯¯¯¯ , so the coordinates of point R are (3a, b).
In △DEF , the length of the base, DF¯¯¯¯¯ , is
4a, and the height is 2b, so its area is
1/2×4a×2b = 4ab.
In △QRP , the length of the base, QR¯¯¯¯¯ , is
3a-a = 2a, and the height is b, so its area is 1/2×2a×b = ab .
Comparing the expressions for the areas proves that the area of the triangle created by joining the midpoints of an isosceles triangle is one-fourth the area of the larger isosceles triangle.
Answer:
A. slope = -2; point = (8, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Compare to the point-slope form for slope m and point (h, k).
y -k = m(x -h)
You see that k = -3, m = -2, h = 8, so ...
- the slope is -2
- the point is (h, k) = (8, -3)
Answer:
y = 2/3x + 19/3
Step-by-step explanation:
First, this is your current equation: y = 2/3x + b. Plug in your point to the equation, it should look like this: 5 = 2/3(-2) + b. 2/3 times -2 equals -4/3. So, this is what your equation should look like: 5 = -4/3 + b. Add 4/3 to both sides of the equation to get 19/3 = b. Go back to your original equation and plug 19/3 to b. This is your final equation: y = 2/3x + 19/3. Hope this helped!
