Answer:
Rhombus
Step-by-step explanation:
The given points are A(−5, 6), B(−1, 8), C(3, 6), D(−1, 4).
We use the distance formula to find the length of AB.
The length of AD is
The length of BC is:
The length of CD is
Since all sides are congruent the quadrilateral could be a rhombus or a square.
Slope of AB
Slope of BC
Since the slopes of the adjacent sides are not negative reciprocals of each other, the quadrilateral cannot be a square. It is a rhombus
Answer:
The system of equations has a one unique solution
Step-by-step explanation:
To quickly determine the number of solutions of a linear system of equations, we need to express each of the equations in slope-intercept form, so we can compare their slopes, and decide:
1) if they intersect at a unique point (when the slopes are different) thus giving a one solution, or
2) if the slopes have the exact same value giving parallel lines (with no intersections, and the y-intercept is different so there is no solution), or
3) if there is an infinite number of solutions (both lines are exactly the same, that is same slope and same y-intercept)
So we write them in slope -intercept form:
First equation:
second equation:
So we see that their slopes are different (for the first one slope = -6, and for the second one slope= -3/2) and then the lines must intercept in a one unique point. Therefore the system of equations has a one unique solution.
