Answer:

1)  (4,6),(-4,6), (4,12),(-4,12)

2) (4,9) or (-4,9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe that the two vertices given, (0,6) and (0,12) are on the y-axis.

The distance between this points is |12-6|=6

We know area of a triangle is A=\frac{1}{2}bh

We were given area as 12.

\frac{1}{2}*b*6=12

3b=12

b=4 units

We can find a point 4 units horizontally away from any of the vertex.

So (4,6),(-4,6), (4,12),(-4,12) are feasible vertices.

For the triangle to be isosceles, then the third vertex must be on the horizontal line through the midpoint of (0,6) and (0,12) and must be 4 units away from the line x=0.

Therefore if thr triangle is isosceles, then third vertex must be at (4,9) or (-4,9)

Find the slope of the line passing through the pairs of points and describe the line as rising, falling, horizontal or vertical.
Anna [14]

Answer:

a.\ m=2,\ \text{the line is rising}\\\\b.\ m=-\dfrac{5}{4},\ \text{the line is falling}\\\\c.\ m=0,\ \text{the line is horizontal}\\\\d.\ m\ is\ unde fined,\ \text{the line is vertical}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

If

m > 0, then a line is rising

m < 0, then a line is falling

m = 0, then a line is horizontal

m is undefined, then a line is vertical

<h2>a.</h2>

(2, 1) and (4, 5)

m=\dfrac{5-1}{4-2}=\dfrac{4}{2}=2>0\to\text{rising}

<h2>b.</h2>

(-1, 0) and (3, -5)

m=\dfrac{-5-0}{3-(-1)}=\dfrac{-5}{4}=-\dfrac{5}{4}

<h2>c.</h2>

(2, 1) and (-3, 1)

m=\dfrac{1-1}{-3-2}=\dfrac{0}{-5}=0\to\text{horizontal}

<h2>d.</h2>

(-1, 2) and (-1, -5)

m=\dfrac{-5-2}{-1-(-1))}=\dfrac{-7}{0}\ \text{UNDEFINED}\to\text{vertical}

What is the value of x three times less than the value of 45−10x?
Mekhanik [1.2K]
This is the concept of algebra. The value of x three times less than the value of 45-10x will be as follows;
The value of x three times is:
3x
subtracting 45-10x we get:
3x-(45-10x)
3x+10x-45
13x-45
the answer is:
13x-45

By definition, a rectangle is:

Any four sided polygon (quadrilateral) that contains four right angles.

By extension, a square is:

Any rectangle where all sides are of the same, or equal, length.

<h3>So yes, a square is always a rectangle.</h3>
