Answer:

Coordinates of Point A and C are (6,8) and (8,4).

Coordinates of Point D and E are ,(4,5) and (5,3).

→Length of segment DE

  Using Distance Formula

=\sqrt{(5-4)^2+(5-3)^2}\\\\=\sqrt{1+4}\\\\=\sqrt{5}

AC=\sqrt{(8-6)^2+(8-4)^2}\\\\=\sqrt{4+16}\\\\=\sqrt{20}\\\\=2\sqrt{5}

→So,Length of segment AC=2√5

→By substitution

DE=\frac{AC}{2}

→By the slope formula, which is

    m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\\ \text{Slope of Segment DE}=\frac{5-3}{4-5}\\\\=-2\\\\\text{Slope of Segment AC}=\frac{8-4}{6-8}\\\\=\frac{4}{-2}\\\\=-2

→When Slopes are equal, lines are Parallel.

So, Segment DE ║ Segment AC

The following Statement completes the proof,which is Missing

 Option D: By the slope formula

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement Reason:

1) The coordinates of point D are (4, 5) and coordinates of point E are (5, 3) By the midpoint formula

2) Length of segment DE is Square root of 5 and length of segment AC is 2 multiplied by the square root of 5 By the distance formula

3) Segment DE is half the length of segment AC By substitution

4) Slope of segment DE is -2 and slope of segment AC is -2 by the slope formula

5) Segment DE is parallel to segment AC Slopes of parallel lines are equal...

Aiden and Haisem are going to eat the same amount of hamburgers and fries, but from different restaurants. Aiden goes to Burger
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

the burgers be 3 and fries be 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Let us assume burgers be x

And, the fries be y

Now according to the questiojn

1.25x + 0.50y = $4.75

1.50x + 0.99y = $6.48

Now multiply by 1.2 in the first equation

1.50x + 0.6y = $5.70

1.50x + 0.99y = $6.48

-0.39y = -0.78

y = 2

Now put the value of y in any of the above equation

1.25x + 0.50(2) = $4.75

x = 3

Hence, the burgers be 3 and fries be 2
