Answer: $1.50/cookie

Step-by-step explanation:

Cookies = x

Water = y

5x + y = $8.75

y = 1.25

Plug in y-value into equation:

5x +1.25 = 8.75

5x = 8.75 - 1.25

5x = 7.50

x = 7.50/5

x = $1.50 for 1 cookie.

Below represents the proof that the quadrilateral QRST is a parallelogram

<h3>How to prove that QRST is a parallelogram?</h3>

The coordinates are given as:

Q = (-1,-1)

R = (2,9)

S = (-4,5)

T = (-7,-5)

Calculate the length of each side using:

$d = \sqrt{(x_2 -x_1)^2 + (y_2 -y_1)^2}$

So, we have:

$QR = \sqrt{(-1 - 2)^2 + (-1 -9)^2} = \sqrt{109}$

$RS = \sqrt{(-4 - 2)^2 + (5 - 9)^2} = \sqrt{52}$

$ST = \sqrt{(-7 + 4)^2 + (-5 - 5)^2} = \sqrt{109}$

$TQ = \sqrt{(-7 + 1)^2 + (-5 + 1)^2} = \sqrt{52}$

The above computations show that opposite sides are equal.

Next, we determine the slope of each side using:

$m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}$

So, we have:

$QR = \frac{9 + 1}{2 + 3} = \frac{10}3$

$RS = \frac{5-9}{-4 - 2} = \frac{2}3$

$ST = \frac{5+5}{-4 + 7} = \frac{10}3$

$TQ = \frac{-5+1}{-7 + 1} = \frac{2}3$

The above computations show that opposite sides are parallel, because they have equal slope

Hence, the quadrilateral QRST is a parallelogram
