L(1, -4)=(xL, yL)→xL=1, yL=-4
M(3, -2)=(xM, yM)→xM=3, yM=-2

Slope of side LM: m LM = (yM-yL) / (xM-xL)
m LM = ( -2 - (-4) ) / (3-1)
m LM = ( -2+4) / (2)
m LM = (2) / (2)
m LM = 1

The quadrilateral is the rectangle KLMN
The oposite sides are: LM with NK, and KL with NK
In a rectangle the opposite sides are parallel, and parallel lines have the same slope, then:
Slope of side LM = m LM = 1 = m NK = Slope of side NK
Slope of side NK = m NK = 1

Slope of side KL = m KL = m MN = Slope of side MN

The sides KL and LM (consecutive sides) are perpendicular (form an angle of 90°), then the product of their slopes is equal to -1:
(m KL) (m LM) = -1
Replacing m LM = 1
(m KL) (1) = -1
m KL = -1 = m MN

Answer:
Slope of side LM =1
Slope of side NK =1
Slope of side KL = -1
Slope of side MN = -1

Which equation shows the quadratic formula used correctly to solve 5x2 + 3x – 4 = 0 for x?
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{(3)^2-4(5)(-4)}}{2(5)}

Therefore, Option 1 is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the quadratic equation:

5x^2+3x-4=0

If we compare it will general quadratic equation which is: ax^2+bx+c=0

Here, a=5,b=3 and c= -4.

Now, we will use the formula:

And then x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}

Where,D=b^2-4ac

x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{(3)^2-4(5)(-4)}}{2(5)}

Therefore, Option 1 is correct.

Dependent and Independent Events
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

If you consider the 6-sided dice to be balanced, then each result has the same probability of occurrence: P(1)=P(2)=P(3)=P(4)=P(5)=P(6)= \frac{1}{6}

And each time Tom rolls the dice is independent of the other times, this means that you can disregard all previous rolls and calculate the 10nth time as if it is the 1st one.

Be the event A: "Tom rolled the dice for the 10nth time and obtained a 6"

The probability of A occurring will be P(A)= 1/6

On the other hand, the complement of "A" will be A^c: "Tom rolled the dice for the 10nth time and didn't obtain a 6"

This means he could obtain a 1 or a 2 or a 3 or a 4 or a 5

You can calculate the probability pf this event by adding the probability of obtaining each value P(A^c)= P(1)+P(2)+P(3)+P(4)+P(5)= 1/6*5= 5/6

Or by subtracting the probability of A to the total probability of the sample space:

P(A^c)= 1 - P(A)= 1 - 1/6= 5/6

I hope this helps!

The temperature of a city changed by -20°C over a four week. If the temperature changed by the same amount each week write an ex
andre [41]

Answer:

A)  T=\frac{-20}{4}

B) T = -5 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Let T be the change in temperature of the week. T is determined as the total temperature change (-20°C) divided by the number of weeks that have passed (4 weeks). The expression is:

T=\frac{-20}{4}

B) In order to simplify the expression, simply perform the division.

T=\frac{-20}{4}\\T=-5^oC

This means that the temperature has dropped by 5 degrees each week.
