<span><span><span>1. An altitude of a triangle is a line segment from a vertex perpendicular to the opposite side. Find the equations of the altitudes of the triangle with vertices (4, 5),(-4, 1) and (2, -5). Do this by solving a system of two of two of the altitude equations and showing that the intersection point also belongs to the third line. </span>

<span>If we plot the points and connect them, we get this triangle:
Let point
A=(xA,yA)
B=(xB,yB)
C=(xC,yC)
-------------------------------
Let's find the equation of the segment AB
Start with the general formula
Plug in the given points
Simplify and combine like terms
So the equation of the line through AB is
-------------------------------
Let's find the equation of the segment BC
Start with the general formula
Plug in the given points
Simplify and combine like terms
So the equation of the line through BC is
-------------------------------
Let's find the equation of the segment CA
Start with the general formula
Plug in the given points
Simplify and combine like terms
So the equation of the line through CA is
So we have these equations of the lines that make up the triangle
So to find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to that goes through the point C(2,-5), simply negate and invert the slope to get
Now plug the slope and the point (2,-5) into
Solve for y and simplify
So the altitude for vertex C is
Now to find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to that goes through the point A(4,5), simply negate and invert the slope to get
Now plug the slope and the point (2,-5) into
Solve for y and simplify
So the altitude for vertex A is
Now to find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to that goes through the point B(-4,1), simply negate and invert the slope to get
Now plug the slope and the point (-4,1) into
Solve for y and simplify
So the altitude for vertex B is
------------------------------------------------------------
Now let's solve the system
Plug in into the first equation
Add 2x to both sides and subtract 2 from both sides
Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x
Now plug this into
So the orthocenter is (-2/3,1/3)
So if we plug in into the third equation , we get
So the orthocenter lies on the third altitude

Okay so first off the equation of a line is
Y=mx+b
m= the slope
b= the y intercept
The Y intercept of this line is 2 and the slope is 5/3! You know this is the slope because if you start at point a and go up 5 and to the right 3, you end up at point b.
The equation for this line would be y=5/3x+2
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Find all the factors of 32, as they come in pairs.
The pairs will give you how many rows you can have, as well as the number of stamps in each row.
1x32 would be 1 row, 32 stamps each
2x16 would be 2 rows, 16 stamps each.
4x8 would be 4 rows, 8 stamps each.
Once you reach the point that it flips around, you can count up all those ways as well.
8x4 is 8 rows with 4 stamps each
16x2 is 16 rows with 2 stamps each
32x1 is 32 rows with 1 stamp each
The total number of factor pairs is 6, meaning he can display the stamps in 6 different ways that follow his want of having the same number of stamps in each row.
