Answer:
Option D (7).
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for gradient of the straight line is given by:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1); where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two fixed points on the straight line. It is given that (x1, y1) = (4, r) and (x2, y2) = (r, 2). The gradient of the straight line is given by -5/3. To find the value of r, simply substitute all the values in the gradient equation. Therefore:
-5/3 = (2 - r)/(r - 4).
Cross Multiplying:
-5*(r - 4) = 3*(2 - r).
-5r + 20 = 6 - 3r.
-2r = -14.
r = 7.
Therefore, Option D is the correct answer!!!
(-7, 2) is the location of W.
because W on the X axis is -7
and W on the Y axis is 2.
making it (-7, 2)
I would say D. It makes the most Since
To determine if a line is perpendicular to another, you must first determine the slope...
m = y1-y2/x1-x2
m of FK = 3-5/3-6 = -2/-3 = 2/3
m of FJ = 3-2/3-8 = 1/-5
m of FL = 3-0/3-5 = 3/-2
m of KJ = 5-2/6-8 = 3/-2
m of KL = 5-0/6-5 = 5
m of JL = 2-0/ 8-5 = 2/3
In order for two lines to be perpendicular, their slopes must be opposite reciprocals...
FK is perpendicular to FL
FK is perpendicular to KJ
JL is perpendicular to FL
JL is perpendicular to KJ
FJ is perpendicular to KL
