Answer:

<h2>The slope of BC is -7/2.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Givens</h3>

ABCD is a rectangle.

AB \parallel CD

BC \parallel AD.

m_{AB} =\frac{2}{7}

We know that AB \perp BC and CD \perp AD, by definition of rectangle.

Additionally, m_{AB} \times m_{BC}=-1, by condition of perpendicularity.

Replacing, we have

\frac{2}{7}  \times m_{BC}=-1\\ m_{BC}=-\frac{7}{2}

Therefore, the slope of BC is -7/2.

The congruent sides of an isosceles triangle are each 1 unit longer than the length of the shortest side of the triangle. The pe
aksik [14]
Let length of shortest side be x

then length of each congruent sides = x + 1
perimeter of the triangle = x + x+1 +x + 1 =  3x + 2
perimeter of the square = 4(x-2) = 4x - 8
So we have 

4x - 8 = 3x + 2
x =  10

the shortest side is 10 units long.

Which of the following constants can be added to x^2+2/3 to form a perfect square trinomial?
Lera25 [3.4K]

As your question is stated, there is no answer!


I'm going to assume the polynomial you meant is:


x^2 + \frac{2}{3} x


To create a perfect square trinomial, take half the coefficient of x and then square it.


\left( \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{3} \right) ^2 = \left(\frac{1}{3} \right) ^2 =\frac{1}{9}


In all problems like this, you want to square half the coefficient of x -- always half.

Answer:

The slope is 4, while the y intercept is 2

...starting with 2 cards and adding 4 cards each week

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is always the coefficient (the number in front) of x.

The y intercept is the number on its own.

Hope this helps!
