What can be concluded about the graphed polygon? mc013-1.jpg The polygon is a rectangle. Adjacent sides of the polygon are perpe
ndicular. Opposite sides of the polygon are parallel. The slope of side c is 0.
2 answers:
From the given graph, the image is a trapezoid.
Therefore,
The first option, "t<span>he polygon is a rectangle" is incorrect.
The second option "</span><span>Adjacent sides of the polygon are perpendicular." cannot be true as well because trapezoid has one the adjacent sides which is not perpendicular.
Third option" </span><span>Opposite sides of the polygon are parallel", this can't be true as well because only two sides are parallel.
Fourth option " </span><span>The slope of side c is 0.", this is true because line c is a horizontal line with zero rise and maximum run. Therefore,
Slope = 0 </span>÷ 9
<span> = 0
</span>

In the future, please post the full problem with all included instructions. After doing a quick internet search, I found your problem listed somewhere else. It mentions two parts (a) and (b)
Part (a) asked for the equation of the line in y = mx+b form
That would be y = -2x+9
This is because each time y goes down by 2, x goes up by 1. We have slope = rise/run = -2/1 = -2. This indicates that the height of the candle decreases by 2 inches per hour. The slope represents the rate of change.
The initial height of the candle is the y intercept b value. So we have m = -2 and b = 9 lead us from y = mx+b to y = -2x+9
----------------------------------------------------------------
Part (b) then asks you to graph the equation. Because this is a linear equation, it produces a straight line. We only need 2 points at minimum to graph any line. Let's plot (0,9) and (1,7) on the same xy grid. These two points are the first two rows of the table. Plot those two points and draw a straight line through them. The graph is below
