Answer:

(0, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral (has four sides) in which opposite sides are parallel to each other. Also for a parallelogram, the opposite sides and angles are equal to each other.

Hence for parallelogram RSTU, RS // TU and RU // ST

Let the coordinate of U be (x , y). Two lines are parallel to each other if their slopes are equal, hence:

Slope of RS = (4 - 1) /[3 - (-3)] = 3/6 = 0.5

Slope of ST = (2 - 4) /[6 - 3] = -2/3

Slope of RU = (y - 1) /[x - (-3)] = (y - 1) / (x + 3)

Slope of TU = (y - 2) /[x - 6]

Slope of RU = Slope of ST

(y - 1) / (x + 3) = -2/3

3y - 3 = -2x -6

2x + 3y = -6 + 3

2x + 3y = -3                  (1)

Slope of RS = Slope of TU

0.5 = (y - 2) /[x - 6]

0.5x - 3 = y  - 2

0.5x - y = 1                  (2)

Solving 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:

x = 0, y = -1

Therefore the coordinates of U = (0, -1)

Help i need help with this 10x+16>6x+20
Mamont248 [21]

What does > mean?

10x + 16 ≥ 6x + 20

Subtract both sides by 16

10x ≥ 6x + 4

Subtract both sides by 6x

4x ≥ 4

Divide both sides by 4

x ≥ 1

I believe this is your answer good luck!!

The vertex of this parabola is at (-1,-3) which of the following could be its equation
Gnesinka [82]
Since these are parabolas with y being squared, the standard form of such a parabola with vertex at (h, k) is 

<span>x = a(y - k)^2 + h </span>

<span>There are no steps. Just look at what is inside the parentheses and compare it to (y - k) with k = -3. </span>
<span>Then look at what is added and compare it to h = -1. </span>

<span>For instance, A has (y + 1) in parentheses. So k = -1. And it has -3 added, so h = -3. That would be a vertex at (-3, -1).</span>

Find the distance from G to S.
OLEGan [10]
The distance formula is the square root of (x1-x2)^2+ (y1-y2)^2

So it would be square root [ (-2-3)^2 + (6-(-2))^2]
So it would be square root(25+64)
Square root(89)= 9.433
