Answer:

D(-3, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given coordinates are;

A(-1, -5), B(5, -2) and (1, 1)

The coordinates and the coordinates of the point <em>D</em> form a trapezium

The parallel sides of the trapezium ABCD = AB and DC

The angle ∠BAD = 90°

The coordinates of the point <em>D</em> = Required

Let (<em>x, y</em>) represent the x and y-coordinates of the point D, by the given information, we get;

The slope of the line DC = The slope of the line AB

The slope of AB = (-2 - (-5))/(5 - (-1)) = 3/6 = 1/2

∴ The slope of CD, m = 1/2

From the point C(1, 1),the equation of the line CD is therefore;

y - 1 = (1/2)·(x - 1)

∴ y = x/2 - (1/2) + 1 = x/2 + 1/2

y = x/2 + 1/2

Given that ∠BAD is 90°, therefore, AD is perpendicular to DC and we have;

The slope of AD = -1/m

∴ The slope of AD = -1/(1/2) = -2

From the point A(-1, -5), the equation of the line AD is therefore;

y - (-5) = -2·(x - (-1))

y = -2·x - 2 - 5 = -2·x - 7

y = -2·x - 7

Equating both (simultaneous) values of <em>y</em> to find the value of <em>x </em>gives;

y = y, therefore;

x/2 + 1/2 = -2·x - 7

x/2 + 2·x = 5·x/2 = -7 - (1/2) = -15/2

∴ 5·x/2 = -15/2

x = (-15/2) × (2/5) = -3

x = -3

From y = -2·x - 7, and x = -3, we get;

y = -2 × (-3) - 7 = 6 - 7 = -1

The coordinates of the point <em>D</em>(x, y) = (-3, -1).

Write the elements belonging to the set {x|x is a natural number less than 10
Feliz [49]

Answer:

The set A = { 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

Given that the set

 { x/x/ is a natural number less than 10 }

<u><em>Natural numbers :</em></u>

The natural numbers are

          { 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,.........}

The set A =  { x/x/ is a natural number less than 10 }

The set A = { 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}

During one hour of television there are two shows on what is the ratio of hours to shows if you watch three hours of television
3241004551 [841]
During one hour of television there are two shows on. That would be the ratio 1:2. We need to find 3:?. Since 1×3 is 3, we multiply the second number by 3 as well. 2×3 is 6. So the ratio would be 3:6.

Zarrin [17]

if y=367

then you need to figure out this:

367=5x+287

so remove 287 from 367

367-287=80

Then divide by 5

80/5=16

so, x=16
