Plz help me answer this question I'm having a. Lot of trouble

) Find the coordinates of the point A' which is the symmetric point

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Let, coordinate of point A' is (x,y).

Since, A' is the symmetric point A(3, 2) with respect to the line 2x + y - 12 = 0.

So, slope of line containing A and A' will be perpendicular to the line 2x + y - 12 = 0 and also their center lies in the line too.

Now, their center is given by :

$C( \dfrac{x+3}{2}, \dfrac{y+2}{2})$

Also, product of slope will be -1 .( Since, they are parallel )

$\dfrac{y-2}{x-3} \times -2 = -1\\\\2y - 4 = x - 3\\\\2y - x = 1$

x = 2y - 1

So, $C( \dfrac{2y -1 +3}{2}, \dfrac{y+2}{2})\\\\C( \dfrac{2y + 2}{2}, \dfrac{y+2}{2})$

Also, C satisfy given line :

$2\times ( \dfrac{2y + 2}{2}) + \dfrac{y+2}{2} = 12\\\\4y + 4 + y + 2 = 24\\\\5y = 18\\\\y = \dfrac{18}{5}$

Also,

$x = 2\times \dfrac{18}{5 } - 1\\\\x = \dfrac{31}{5}$

Therefore, the symmetric points is $A'(\dfrac{31}{5}, \dfrac{18}{5})$ .

Determine the most precise name for ABCD (parallelogram, rhombus, rectangle, or square). Explain how you determined your answer.

Sonja [21]

<h3>Answer: Rhombus</h3>

======================================================

Reason:

Let's find the distance from A to B. This is equivalent to finding the length of segment AB. I'll use the distance formula.

$A = (x_1,y_1) = (3,5) \text{ and } B = (x_2, y_2) = (7,6)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(3-7)^2 + (5-6)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + (-1)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{16 + 1}\\\\d = \sqrt{17}\\\\d \approx 4.1231\\\\$

Segment AB is exactly $\sqrt{17}$ units long, which is approximately 4.1231 units.

If you were to repeat similar steps for the other sides (BC, CD and AD) you should find that all four sides are the same length. Because of this fact, we have a rhombus.

-------------------------

Let's see if this rhombus is a square or not. We'll need to see if the adjacent sides are perpendicular. For that we'll need the slope.

Let's find the slope of AB.

$A = (x_1,y_1) = (3,5) \text{ and } B = (x_2,y_2) = (7,6)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{6 - 5}{7 - 3}\\\\m = \frac{1}{4}\\\\$

Segment AB has a slope of 1/4.

Do the same for BC

$B = (x_1,y_1) = (7,6) \text{ and } C = (x_2,y_2) = (6,2)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{2 - 6}{6 - 7}\\\\m = \frac{-4}{-1}\\\\m = 4\\\\$

Unfortunately the two slopes of 1/4 and 4 are not negative reciprocals of one another. One slope has to be negative while the other is positive, if we wanted perpendicular lines. Also recall that perpendicular slopes must multiply to -1.

We don't have perpendicular lines, so the interior angles are not 90 degrees each.

Therefore, this figure is not a rectangle and by extension it's not a square either.

The best description for this figure is a <u>rhombus</u>.

Using complete sentences, write an indirect proof proving that if x=30, then 3/4x+5≠20 (3/4 being three over four)

WARRIOR [948]

<span>hypothesis :-
if x=30, then 3/4x+5≠20
let Q:- x=30 P:- 3/4x+5≠20
we need to prove if Q then P (Q →P)

proof :-
lets assume 34x+5=20 is true
now x=30
so
3/4(30)+5=27.5 ≠20
which is a contradiction
