Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of the given parallelogram are QS and RT. We would first determine if its diagonals are congruent.

QS = √(1 - 5)² + (3 - 3)² = 16

RT = √(3 - 3)² + (4 - 2)² = 4

Since QS ≠ RT, it means that they are not congruent and this means that the parallelogram is not a rectangle.

Let us check if the diagonals are perpendicular.

Slope of QS = (3 - 3)/(5 - 1) = 0/4

Slope of RT = (2 - 4)/(3 - 3) = - 2/0

The slopes are not opposite reciprocals. It means that the diagonals are not perpendicular. Therefore, the correct option is

D. QRST is none of these because its diagonals are neither congruent nor perpendicular.

My name is Ann [436]

(1) The train travels 4 miles per gallon.

(2) The slope of the graph is $m=\frac{1}{4}$

Explanation:

(1) The miles that train travels per gallon is given by

$Miles= \frac{800}{200}$

Dividing, we have,

$Miles= 4$

Thus, the train travels 4 miles per gallon.

(2) To determine the slope, let us consider two points from the graph.

The coordinates are $(0,0)$ and $(800,200)$

Thus, substituting the coordinates in the slope formula, we get,

$m=\frac{200-0}{800-0}$

Simplifying, we have,

$m=\frac{200}{800} =\frac{1}{4}$

Thus, the slope of the graph is $m=\frac{1}{4}$

The product of two numbers is -30, but their sum is -13. What are these two numbers?

Nata [24]

<h3>Answer: -15 and 2</h3>

You find this through trial and error.

A much more efficient way is to solve x^2-13x-30 = 0 using the quadratic formula. You'll find the two solutions to be x = 15 and x = -2

Going from those solutions, we get x-15 = 0 and x+2 = 0 which then turn into (x-15)(x+2) = 0 through the zero product property.
