Answer:

The statement is slope of WX and YW are opposite reciprocals

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the graph in which triangle is shown

we have to choose the statement that verifies that triangle WXY is a right triangle.

Coordinates of W, X and Y are

W=(-2,3)

X=(2,1.4)

Y=(-4,-2)

To verify the triangle WXY a right triangle, we have to find the slope of these lines

$\text{Slope of line joining the points }(x_1,y_1), (x_2, y_2)\text{ is }$

$slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\text{Slope of WX=}\frac{1.4-3}{2-(-2)}=\frac{-2}{5}$

$\text{Slope of XY=}\frac{-2-1.4}{-4-2}=\frac{17}{30}$

$\text{Slope of YW=}\frac{-2-3}{-4-(-2)}=\frac{5}{2}$

We see slope of WX and YW are opposite reciprocals that means these two lines are perpendicular which verifies that triangle WXY is a right triangle.

Hence, option 1 is correct

Molodets [167]

<h2>Perfect Squares</h2>

Perfect square formula/rules:

$a^2+2ab+b^2=(a+b)^2$
$a^2-2ab+b^2=(a-b)^2$

Trinomials are often organized like $ax^2+bx+c$ .

The <em>b</em> value in this case is <em>c</em>, and it will always equal the square of half of the <em>b</em> value.

Perfect square trinomial: $ax^2+bx+(\dfrac{b}{2})^2$
or $ax^2-bx+(\dfrac{b}{2})^2$

<h2>Solving the Question</h2>

We're given:

$c^2-4c$

In a trinomial, we're given the $ax^2$ and $bx$ values. <em>a</em> in this case is 1 and <em>b</em> in this case is 4. To find the third value by dividing 4 by 2 and squaring the quotient:

4 ÷ 2 = 2
2² = 4

Therefore, the term that we can add is + 4.

$c^2-4c+4$

To write this as the square of a bracketed expression, we can follow the rule $a^2-2ab+b^2=(a-b)^2$ :

$(c-2)^2$

<h2>Answer</h2>

$c^2-4c+4$

$(c-2)^2$

There would be 2034 students competing in 2012.

We can write a simple equation to find this answer. Let X, be the number of students starting in 2012. Then, we multiply by 0.9 and 1.1 to get to 2014. To work backwards, just divide by 1.1, then by 0.9.

2014 / 1.1 / 0.9 = 2034
