1/7 is equal to 3/21

14/21-3/21 = 11/21

I hope this helps and have a wonderful day filled with joy!!

Make both the fractions have the same denominator. 2/3 is equivalent to 14/21.

1/7 is equal to 3/21

14/21-3/21 = 11/21

The eqution of the diagonal of a parallelogram is 3y=5x +k. The two opposite vertices of a parallelogram are the points (1,-2),

Answer:

$k = 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$3y = 5x + k$

Opposite points: $(1,-2)$ and $(-2,1)$

Required

Find k

First, calculate the midpoint of the opposite points.

$(x,y) = 0.5(x_1 + x_2,y_1 + y_2)$

This gives:

$(x,y) = 0.5(1 -2,-2 + 1)$

$(x,y) = 0.5(-1,-1)$

Open bracket

$(x,y) = (-0.5,-0.5)$

The equation $3y = 5x + k$ becomes:

$3 * -0.5 = 5 * -0.5 + k$

$-1.5 = -2.5 + k$

Solve for k

$k = 2.5-1.5$

$k = 1$

1) Parallel line: $y=-2x-3$

2) Rectangle

3) Perpendicular line: $y = 0.5x + 2.5$

4) x-coordinate: 2.7

5) Distance: $d=\sqrt{(4-3)^2+(7-1)^2}$

6) 3/8

7) Perimeter: 12.4 units

8) Area: 8 square units

9) Two slopes of triangle ABC are opposite reciprocals

10) Perpendicular line: $y-5=-4(x-(-1))$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is in the form

$y=mx+q$

where m is the slope and q is the y-intercept.

Two lines are parallel to each other if they have same slope m.

The line given in this problem is

$y=-2x+7$

So its slope is $m=-2$ . Therefore, the only line parallel to this one is the line which have the same slope, which is:

$y=-2x-3$

Since it also has $m=-2$

We can verify that this is a rectangle by checking that the two diagonals are congruent. We have:

- First diagonal: $d_1 = \sqrt{(-3-(-1))^2+(4-(-2))^2}=\sqrt{(-2)^2+(6)^2}=6.32$

- Second diagonal: $d_2 = \sqrt{(1-(-5))^2+(0-2)^2}=\sqrt{6^2+(-2)^2}=6.32$

The diagonals are congruent, so this is a rectangle.

Given points A (0,1) and B (-2,5), the slope of the line is:

$m=\frac{5-1}{-2-0}=-2$

The slope of a line perpendicular to AB is equal to the inverse reciprocal of the slope of AB, so:

$m'=\frac{1}{2}$

And using the slope-intercept for,

$y-y_0 = m(x-x_0)$

Using the point $(x_0,y_0)=(7,1)$ we find:

$y-1=\frac{1}{2}(x-7)$

And re-arranging,

$y-1 = \frac{1}{2}x-\frac{7}{2}\\y=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{5}{2}\\y=0.5x-2.5$

The endpoints of the segment are X(1,2) and Y(6,7).

We have to divide the sgment into 1/3 and 2/3 parts from X to Y, so for the x-coordinate we get:

$x' = x_0 + \frac{1}{3}(x_1 - x_0) = 1+\frac{1}{3}(6-1)=2.7$

The distance between two points $A(x_A,y_A)$ and $B(x_B,y_B)$ is given by

$d=\sqrt{(x_B-x_A)^2+(y_B-y_A)^2}$

In this problem, the two points are

E(3,1)

F(4,7)

So the distance is given by

$d=\sqrt{(4-3)^2+(7-1)^2}$

We have:

A(3,4)

B(11,3)

Point C divides the segment into two parts with 3:5 ratio.

The distance between the x-coordinates of A and B is 8 units: this means that the x-coordinate of C falls 3 units to the right of the x-coordinate of A and 5 units to the left of the x-coordinate of B, so overall, the x-coordinate of C falls at

$\frac{3}{3+5}=\frac{3}{8}$

of the distance between A and B.

To find the perimeter, we have to calculate the length of each side:

$d_{EF}=\sqrt{(x_E-x_F)^2+(y_E-y_F)^2}=\sqrt{(-1-2)^2+(6-4)^2}=3.6$

$d_{FG}=\sqrt{(x_G-x_F)^2+(y_G-y_F)^2}=\sqrt{(-1-2)^2+(3-4)^2}=3.2$

$d_{GH}=\sqrt{(x_G-x_H)^2+(y_G-y_H)^2}=\sqrt{(-1-(-3))^2+(3-3)^2}=2$

$d_{EH}=\sqrt{(x_E-x_H)^2+(y_E-y_H)^2}=\sqrt{(-1-(-3))^2+(6-3)^2}=3.6$

So the perimeter is

p = 3.6 + 3.2 + 2 + 3.6 = 12.4

The area of a triangle is

$A=\frac{1}{2}(base)(height)$

For this triangle,

Base = XW

Height = YZ

We calculate the length of the base and of the height:

$Base =XW=\sqrt{(x_X-x_W)^2+(y_X-y_W)^2}=\sqrt{(6-2)^2+(3-(-1))^2}=5.7$

$Height =YZ=\sqrt{(x_Y-x_Z)^2+(y_Y-y_Z)^2}=\sqrt{(7-5)^2+(0-2)^2}=2.8$

So the area is

$A=\frac{1}{2}(XW)(YZ)=\frac{1}{2}(5.7)(2.8)=8$

A triangle is a right triangle when there is one right angle. This means that two sides of the triangle are perpendicular to each other: however, two lines are perpendicular when their slopes are opposite reciprocals. Therefore, this means that the true statement is

"Two slopes of triangle ABC are opposite reciprocals"
