Answer:

  • (1,3) is inside the triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Orthocenter is the intersection of altitudes.

We'll calculate the slopes of the two sides and their altitudes ad find the intersection.

<h3>Side QR</h3>
  • m = (3 - 5)/(4 - (-1)) = -2/5

<u>Perpendicular slope:</u>

  • -1/m = 5/2

<u>Perpendicular line passes through S(-1, -2):</u>

  • y - (-2) = 5/2(x - (-1)) ⇒ y = 5/2x + 1/2
<h3>Side RS</h3>
  • m = (-2 - 3)/(-1 -4) = -5/-5 = 1

<u>Perpendicular slope:</u>

  • -1/m = -1/1 = -1

<u>Perpendicular line passes through Q(-1, 5):</u>

  • y - 5 = -(x - (-1)) ⇒ y = -x + 4

The intersection of the two lines is the orthocenter.

<u>Solve the system of equations to get the coordinates of the orthocenter:</u>

  • 5/2x + 1/2 = x + 4
  • 5x + 1 = -2x + 8
  • 7x = 7
  • x = 1

<u>Find y-coordinate:</u>

  • y = -1 + 4 = 3

The orthocenter is (1, 3)

If we plot the points, we'll see it is inside the triangle

Best explained and correct answer gets brainliest!!
Semmy [17]
The answer is D, here’s why:

You know the slope-intercept form is y=mx+b
mx being the slope and b being the y-intercept.

y=-4/7x + 9 is already in that form.

A is not the answer because the y is supposed to be by itself.
B is not the answer because again, the y is not by itself.
C is not the answer because the y is also not by itself.

In the slope-intercept form, the y must be by itself and the slope (mx) and the y-intercept must be on the other side.

Hope this helps.

How do u simplify these radicals???
AlladinOne [14]
1. √48  →  √16 * √3  =  4√3

3.
 √12  →  √4 * √3  =  2√3

7. √125  →  √25 * √5  =  5√5

8. √20  →  √4  *  √5  =  2√5

9.  √18  →  √9  *  √2  =  3√2

10. √32  →  √16  *  √2  =  4√2

11.  √50  →  √25  *  √2  =  5√2

12.  √27  →  √9  *  √3  =  3√3
