Prove that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. The midpoints are the same point, so the diagonals _____

Mathematics

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove that the diagonals bisect each other we should prove that they have a common point.

From the graph we notice that this point is E.

ABCD is a paralellogram, so E is the midpoint of both diagonals.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Let's start with AC.

● A(0,0)

● C(2a+2b,2c)

● E( (2a+2b+0)/2 , (2c+0)/2)

● E ( a+b, c)

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

BD:

● B(2b,2c)

● D(2a,0)

● E ( (2a+2b)/2 , 2c/2)

● E ( a+b ,c)

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

So we conclude that the diagonals bisect each others in E.

Write an equation for the translation of x^2 + y^2 = 49 by 7 units right and 4 units up
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

(x - 7)² + (y - 4)² = 49

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Equation: x² + y² = 49

Required:

New Equation when translated 7 units right and 4 units up

Taking it one step at a time.

When the equation is translated 7 units right, this implies a negative unit along the x axis.

The equation becomes

(x - 7)² + y² = 49

When the equation is translated 4 units up, this implies a negative unit along the y axis.

(x - 7)² + (y - 4)² = 49

The expression can be further simplified but it's best left in the form of

(x - 7)² + (y - 4)² = 49

What does b represent in the equation of a line in the form y=mc+b
Olin [163]

Do you mean y = mx + b instead of y = mc + b? In that case:

b in y = mx + b format is the y-intercept, as this kind of equation is called slope-intercept form.
