Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the slope is rise/run, 1/6 goes up one, right 6. Perpendicular is opposite that. so a slope of -6 goes down 6 and right 1. (as a fraction it's -6/1)
Answer:
- (1,3) is inside the triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
Orthocenter is the intersection of altitudes.
We'll calculate the slopes of the two sides and their altitudes ad find the intersection.
<h3>Side QR</h3>
- m = (3 - 5)/(4 - (-1)) = -2/5
<u>Perpendicular slope:</u>
<u>Perpendicular line passes through S(-1, -2):</u>
- y - (-2) = 5/2(x - (-1)) ⇒ y = 5/2x + 1/2
<h3>Side RS</h3>
- m = (-2 - 3)/(-1 -4) = -5/-5 = 1
<u>Perpendicular slope:</u>
<u>Perpendicular line passes through Q(-1, 5):</u>
- y - 5 = -(x - (-1)) ⇒ y = -x + 4
The intersection of the two lines is the orthocenter.
<u>Solve the system of equations to get the coordinates of the orthocenter:</u>
- 5/2x + 1/2 = x + 4
- 5x + 1 = -2x + 8
- 7x = 7
- x = 1
<u>Find y-coordinate:</u>
The orthocenter is (1, 3)
If we plot the points, we'll see it is inside the triangle
Tom was in elementary school for about 5 years
multiply the 2/3 x the 1/6 to get 1/9
so the original equation can be rewritten as 3^1/9
this can be rewritten as the 2nd choice 9cubed3
