The coordinates of triangle FGH are F(2, 4), G(5, −9) and H(−3, −4). Which statement proves that triangle FGH is a right triangl
e? (m = y2 - y1 x2 - x1 )
2 answers:
The fact that the slopes of HF and GH are negative reciprocals proves that FGH is a right triangle.
The slope of HF is given by
m = (-4-4)/(-3-2) = -8/-5 = 8/5
The slope of GH is given by
m = (-4--9)/(-3-5) = (-4+9)/(-3-5) = 5/-8 = -5/8
These are reciprocals and opposite sides. This only occurs if the lines are perpendicular; thus they make a right angle.
The slope of GH= -5/8, and the slope of FH=8/5, therefore, GH | FH

Answer:
x = 3/2 + y/4
Step-by-step explanation:
As what you gave we have:
(3+4)n-2=7n-2
Answer: 5x - 1
Step-by-step explanation: 3x + 2x = 5x and -6 + 5 = -1, so 5x - 1.
5(x+8)=5x+5*8=5x+40
im not sure, is this right?
