Solve for N, −2p + 6n = 5

Answer:

$n=\frac{1}{3}p+\frac{5}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, you are solving for n.

Solve:

−2p + 6n = 5

We have to get "n" by itself, so add 2p to both sides.

6n = 2p + 5

Since the variable "n" has a number next to it, we have to get rid of that number in order to get our answer.

To do so, we would divide both sides by 6.

$n=\frac{2}{6}p+\frac{5}{6}$

Simplify the equation further.

$n=\frac{1}{3}p+\frac{5}{6}$

Find the slope for a line perpendicular to y= -5/3x+7

aleksley [76]

Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the given line we need to get the line into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), which means we need to solve for y: The slope of the line y=-5/3x+7 is m = 3/5. Step 2: Use the slope to find the y-intercept.

Identify the polygon with vertices A(5,0), B(2,4), C(−2,1), and D(1,−3), and then find the perimeter and area of the polygon. HE

inn [45]

Answer:

Part 1) The polygon is a square

Part 2) The perimeter is equal to $20\ units$

Part 3) The area is equal to $25\ units^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$A(5,0), B(2,4), C(-2,1),D(1,-3)$

Plot the points

see the attached figure

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

Find the distance AB

$A(5,0),B(2,4)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(4-0)^{2}+(2-5)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(4)^{2}+(-3)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{25}$

$AB=5\ units$

Find the distance BC

$B(2,4), C(-2,1)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(1-4)^{2}+(-2-2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{25}$

$BC=5\ units$

Find the distance CD

$C(-2,1),D(1,-3)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(-3-1)^{2}+(1+2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-4)^{2}+(3)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{25}$

$CD=5\ units$

Find the distance AD

$A(5,0),D(1,-3)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(-3-0)^{2}+(1-5)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{25}$

$AD=5\ units$

we have that

AB=BC=CD=AD

Find the distance BD (diagonal)

$B(2,4),D(1,-3)$

substitute in the formula

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

$d=\sqrt{(-7)^{2}+(-1)^{2}}$

$BD=\sqrt{50}\ units$

<em>Verify if the polygon is a square</em>

If the triangle BDA is a right triangle, then the polygon is a square

Applying the Pythagoras theorem

$BD^{2}=AD^{2}+AB^{2}$

substitute

$(\sqrt{50})^{2}=5^{2}+5^{2}$

$50=50$ -----> is true

so

The triangle BDA is a right triangle

therefore

The polygon is a square

<em>Find the Area of the polygon</em>

The area of a square is equal to

$A=b^{2}$

we have

$b=5\ units$

$A=5^{2}=25\ units^{2}$

<em>Find the perimeter of the polygon</em>

The perimeter of a square is equal to

$P=4b$

we have

$b=5\ units$

$P=4(5)=20\ units$
