D is halfway between A and B

so the coordinates of D are (2,2)

E is halfway between A and C so the coordinates of E are (-1,1)

now you need to find the gradient/slope of DE and BC using the formula:

$\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

<h3>Gradient of DE: </h3>

SUB IN COORDINATES OF D AND E

$\frac{1 - 2}{ - 1 - 2}$

therefore the gradient of DE is 1/3.

<h3>Gradient of BC:</h3>

SUB IN COORDINATES OF B AND C

 $\frac{ - 2 - 0}{ - 3 - 3}$ 

therefore the gradient of BC is -2/-6 which simplifies to 1/3.

<h3>therefore, BC and DE are parallel as they both have a gradient/slope of 1/3 and parallel lines have the same gradient</h3>

How to solve linear and nonlinear equations graphically?

Ede4ka [16]

Plot the equation. If you wish to solve a polynomial, let y= polynomial and plot the graph. Best set up a table of values first.
Where the graph crosses the x axis there is a solution for x. There are also solutions for other horizontal lines (y values) by looking at intersections of the graph with these lines. This technique works for linear and non linear equations. You can also use graphs to solve 2-variable systems of equations by examining where the graphs intersect one another. The disadvantage is that you may not be able to have sufficient detail for high degrees of accuracy because of the scale of the graph and drawing inaccuracies.

A farmer wants to use 200 feet of fencing for a chicken pen. He wants the width of the pen to be 20 feet. What is the length of

Aneli [31]

The length should be 80 feet.

This is because the width is 20, since there are two sides for the width in a pen, we have to add 20+20. This would equal 40. Then we need to subtract 40 from 200. 200-40 would be 160. Then since there are two sides for the length, we need to split that in half. 160÷2 would be 80. To double check, you can do 80+80 and that would still be 160. So the length of one side would be 80. But of course, this whole thing would only be right if the pen has four sides(but since i have seen many chicken pens, there were all rectangular). I hope this helped! :)
