Answer:

Assuming 1,6 is y2 and x2, the answer is 1,-2 = -0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Grab 1,6 as it is the second point and invert it into 6,1

2. Invert the first point into 5,3.

3. Subtract (6 - 5) / (1 - 3). The result is 1/-2.

4. Divide 1 by -2.

Answer should be -0.5

Which sentence describes what Hiroshi should do to show that the diagonals of the parallelogram bisect each other?

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer: the third option. Show the midpoints are ( (a + b) / 2 , c/2 )

That is because, the two first statements are true because the figure is a parallelogram.

Given that the lines MP and QP are congruent, if they are bisected the midpoints are the same, which is what Hiroshi has to show.

What is the equation?

Cerrena [4.2K]

to get the equation of a straight line, all we need is two points, hmmm say this line runs over (0 , -2) and (3 , 0), so let's use those.

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-2}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-2-0}{0-3}\implies \cfrac{-2}{-3}\implies \cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-0=\cfrac{2}{3}(x-3)\implies y=\cfrac{2}{3}x-2$

sattari [20]

Answer: 250 students

Step-by-step explanation:

since we know that 24% purchased their lunch, we know 76% brought their lunch from home. It is given that 190 students brought their lunch from home so we can create the proportion

$\frac{76}{100}=\frac{190}{x}$

then we use cross multiplication to solve for x and we get 250 students.
