-5 can be thought of as "the opposite of 5". TRUE or FALSE

In rectangle ABCD, if the coordinates of A are (0, 0) and of C are (r, s), find the coordinates of B and D.

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Answers are (r,0) and (0,s)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a rectangle ABCD, one vertex is the origin (0,0) A

The opposite vertex C is having coordinates as (r,s)

Since a rectangle has angle 90 we have x axis as one side and y axis as other side.

Length = r and width =s (since coordinates of C are (r,s))

Hence other coordinate B on x axis would be = (r,0)

and D on y axis = (0,s)

Answers are (r,0) and (0,s)

Ethan buys a video game on sale. If the video game usually costs $39.99, and it was on sale for 20% off, how much did Ethan pay.

Firlakuza [10]

Answer: $31.99

Step-by-step explanation:

So, it is originally $39.99, so first we convert 20% to a decimal, which is 0.2.

Then we do 39.99 * 0.2 to find how much money was taken off.

39.99 * 0.2 = 7.998, or $8

Now, we do the original dollar amount, $39.99, minus the discount, $8, which equals $31.99.

In the barn, there are horses and chickens. There are 11 heads and 32 legs altogether. How many chickens are there?

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

6 Chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

Let H represent the number of horses and C represent the number of chickens. Since there are 32 legs altogether this means that on equation to use would be given by:

2C + 4 H = 32 (Eq. 1)

Another equation can be made from the fact that there are 11 heads or 11 animals altogether which can be written as:

C + H = 11 (Eq. 2)

From Eq. 2, solve for the number of chickens:

C + H = 11

C = 11 - H (Eq. 3)

Substituting Eq. 3 in Eq. 1, the number of horses can be determined:

2 C + 4 H = 32

2 ( 11 − H ) + 4 H = 32

22 − 2 H + 4 H = 32

2H = 32 − 22

2 H = 10

H = 5 Eq.4

Putting Eq.4 in Eq.1

2C + 4*5 = 32

2C = 32 - 20

2C = 12

C = 12/2

C = 6

A (0, 2) and B (6,6) are points on the straight line ABCD.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

(18, 14)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that C and D lie on the line AB and BC = CD = AB. Then we need to use the distance formula and equation of the line AB to find the other two coordinates.

The distance formula states that the distance between two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ , the distance is denoted by: $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$ . Let's find the distance between A and B:

d = $\sqrt{(6-0)^2+(6-2)^2}=\sqrt{6^2+4^2} =\sqrt{36+16} =\sqrt{52} =2\sqrt{13}$

Now say the coordinates of D are (a, b). Then the distance between D and B will be twice of 2√13, which is 4√13:

4√13 = $\sqrt{(6-a)^2+(6-b)^2}$

Square both sides:

208 = (6 - a)² + (6 - b)²

Let's also find the equation of the line AB. The y-intercept we know is 2, so in y = mx + b, b = 2. The slope is (6 - 2) / (6 - 0) = 4/6 = 2/3. So the equation of the line is: y = (2/3)x + 2. Since (a, b) lines on this line, we can put in a for x and b for y: b = (2/3)a + 2. Substitute this expression in for b in the previous equation:

208 = (6 - a)² + (6 - b)²

208 = (6 - a)² + (6 - (2/3a + 2))² = (6 - a)² + (-2/3a + 4)²

208 = a² - 12a + 36 + 4/9a² - 16/3a + 16 = 13/9a² - 52/3a + 52

0 = 13/9a² - 52/3a - 156

13a² - 156a - 1404 = 0

a² - 12a - 108 = 0

(a + 6)(a - 18) = 0

a = -6 or a = 18

We know a can't be negative so a = 18. Plug this back in to find b:

b = 2/3a + 2 = (2/3) * 18 + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14

So point D has coordinates (18, 14).

How do you graph y equals 3 over 2x -4

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3/2 is the slope in y=mx+b format

b= y-intercept witch would be -4 sense it is subtracting not adding

m=slope witch is 3/2

x=x-axis
