Answer:
- B. Quadrilateral FLAG is a parallelogram because opposite sides are parallel.
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Refer to attached.</em>
Plot the point and connect in order FLAG.
<u>We see </u>
- FL ║ GA
- GF ║ AL
- FA and GL are not perpendicular
<u>All the above can be confirmed by calculating the slopes:</u>
- m(FL) = (3 - 5)/(6 - 1) = -2/5
- m(GA) = (1 + 1)/(-2-3) = -2/5
- These are same.
- m(GF) = (5 - 1)/(1 + 2) = 4/3
- m(AL) = (3 + 1)/(6 - 3) = 4/3
- These are same
- m(FA) = (-1 - 5)/(3 - 1) = -3
- m(GL) = (3 - 1)/(6 +2) = -1/4
- These are negative but not reciprocal
The quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
Correct choice is B
Answer:
5.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The y-intercept of the line graph shown above is the value of the point where the line cuts the y-axis. The y-intercept of this graph is between 5 and 6. However, we can get an accurate value by calculation. This can be done by generating an equation of the line.
Recall the slope-intercept equation, , where m = slope of the line, b = y-intercept.
To generate the equation of the line, first find slope using the points (-2, 7) and (6, 1):
.
Substitute m = ¾ and the coordinates (6, 1) into the slope-intercept equation to find the y-intercept (b):
Therefore, b = y-intercept = 5.5.
To generate the equation of the line, plug in the values of m and b, we would have:
y = ¾x + 5.5
The y-intercept of the line of the graph is 5.5.
