Answer:
Yes, the x value is increasing by one every time, and the y value is decreasing by 3 every time.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
See attached photo for graph
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the equation for y... (that means get y by itself)
4y = -5x - 6 (subtract 5x from both sides)
y = -(5/4)x - 6/4 (divide both sides by 4)
y = -(5/4)x - 3/2 (simplify)
Now you can graph using slope-intercept method. The y-intercept is -3/2, and the slope is -5/4
Answers:
- Part A) There is one pair of parallel sides
- Part B) (-3, -5/2) and (-1/2, 5/2)
====================================================
Explanation:
Part A
By definition, a trapezoid has exactly one pair of parallel sides. The other opposite sides aren't parallel. In this case, we'd need to prove that PQ is parallel to RS by seeing if the slopes are the same or not. Parallel lines have equal slopes.
------------------------
Part B
The midsegment has both endpoints as the midpoints of the non-parallel sides.
The midpoint of segment PS is found by adding the corresponding coordinates and dividing by 2.
x coord = (x1+x2)/2 = (-4+(-2))/2 = -6/2 = -3
y coord = (y1+y2)/2 = (-1+(-4))/2 = -5/2
The midpoint of segment PS is (-3, -5/2)
Repeat those steps to find the midpoint of QR
x coord = (x1+x2)/2 = (-2+1)/2 = -1/2
y coord = (x1+x2)/2 = (3+2)/2 = 5/2
The midpoint of QR is (-1/2, 5/2)
Join these midpoints up to form the midsegment. The midsegment is parallel to PQ and RS.
Answer:
~ 2.3%
Step-by-step explanation:
A percentage is a amount divided by the total.
2/85 (2 is the amount decreased) 0.02352941176470588235294117647059
That makes around 0.023.
That multiplied by 100 is 2.3 and that makes the percentage.
So yeah.
