Answer:

Equation of midsegment line: y = (-1/4)x + 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the parallel sides of a trapezoid are contained by the lines:-

y = (-1/4)x +5 and y = (-1/4)x - 1

Midsegment of any trapezoid is the line segment

1. that is parallel to pair of parallel side of trapezoid and

2. that passes through the middle of the trapezoid and cuts the other two sides into equal-half.

It means the midsegment would have same slope as the parallel lines and y-intercept would be in the middle of intercepts of parallel lines.

So y = mx + b

where m = -1/4 and b = (5 - 1)/2 = 4/2 = 2.

Hence, the equation of midsegment would be y = (-1/4)x + 2.

Answer:

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Having students in the classroom who are at different levels of knowledge, interest, and ability can be managed by differentiated instruction. This method is a way of thinking that provides a framework where the instructor can set students with learning tasks that are at levels appropriate with the abilities and interests of each student. Each student can have a different type of class and different type of instruction with the differentiated instruction way of thinking.

A gifted and talented student might be assigned a higher math course, perhaps based on a math assessment for advanced placement. Then students that need to stay on the typical high school path of Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and Trigonometry can do that.

Gifted students might take an alternate path with honors classes or trajectories involving Pre-Calculus or advanced placement Calculus, for example. In some instances, universities have allowed High School students to obtain college credit for some courses taken during High School.

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!! :-)

What is the value of x?
pantera1 [17]

x=9 because the triangle is equilateral which means every side is equal to 60. When you do the math you get 7x-3=60 which is 7x=63 and 63/7=9
