we know that

The rectangle has coordinates P (-1,2), Q(2,4), R(x,y) and S(3,-4)

using a graph tool

see the attached figure

Step 1

<u>Find the slope of the line PS</u>

the slope is equal to

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

mPS=(-4-2)/(3+1)=-6/4=-3/2

Step 2

<u>Find the equation of the line QR</u>

we know that

PS and QR are parallel lines

so

their slopes are the same

mQR=-3/2

with mQR and the point Q(2,4) find the equation of the line

y-y1=m*(x-x1)

y-4=(-3/2)*(x-2)

y=(-3/2)*x+3+4--------> y=7-(3/2)*x

Step 3

<u>Find the equation of the line SR</u>

we know that

SR and QR are perpendicular lines

so

the product of their slopes is equal to minus one

mSR*mQR=-1

mSR=2/3

with mSR and the point S(3,-4) find the equation of the line SR

y-y1=m*(x-x1)

y+4=(2/3)*(x-3)

y=(2/3)*x-2-4---------> y=-6+(2/3)*x

Step 4

Find the intersection of the lines QR and SR

we know that

the intersection of the lines QR and SR is the point R

y=7-(3/2)*x------> equation 1

y=-6+(2/3)*x------> equation 2

equate equation 1 and equation 2

7-(3/2)*x=-6+(2/3)*x

7+6=(2/3)*x+(3/2)*x

13=(2/3)*x+(3/2)*x

Multiply by 6 both sides

6*13=4*x+9*x

13*x=6*13

x=6

find the value of y

y=-6+(2/3)*x------> y=-6+(2/3)*6---------> y=-6+4

y=-2

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

The coordinates of point R are (6,-2)

see the attached figure N 2

Lenny’s favorite radio station has this schedule:
kirill [66]
Answer: choice C) 19/60

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation: 

Add up the minute values: 19+4+37 = 60

We have a total of 60 minutes. Of that total, 19 minutes is dedicated to news.

Divide the two values (19 and 60) to get the fraction 19/60. We can't reduce from here so we leave it like that.

The length of a rectangle is 5 times larger than x. The width is 4 cm less than the length. The perimeter is at least 96 cm. Wha
Ede4ka [16]

We know that the perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + w)

l = length

w = width

In our problem,

l = 5x

w = 5x - 4

Let's create an inequality to help us solve this problem.

2(5x + (5x - 4)) ≥ 96

Let's start off by simplifying the terms inside the parentheses.

2(10x - 4) ≥ 96

Distribute the 2

20x - 8 ≥ 96

Add 8 to both sides.

20x ≥ 104

Divide both sides by 20

x ≥ 5.2

Let's plug 5.2 into x for our length and width.

Length = 5x = 5(5.2) = 26 cm

Width = 5x - 4 = 5(5.2) - 4 = 26 - 4 = 22 cm

The smallest possible dimensions for the rectangle are, length = 26 cm and width = 22 cm
