Rule: The diagonals of any parallelogram bisect each other. In other words, they cut each other in half.
This means DF is cut into two equal pieces: DH and HF.
Similarly, GE is cut into two equal pieces: GH and HE.
DH = HF
x+5 = 2y
x = 2y-5
GH = HE
4x-3 = 4y+1
4(x)-3 = 4y+1
4(2y-5)-3 = 4y+1 ... x has been replaced with 2y-5
8y-20-3 = 4y+1
8y-23 = 4y+1
8y-4y = 1+23
4y = 24
y = 6
If y = 6, then x is
x = 2y-5
x = 2(6)-5
x = 12-5
x = 7

Answers:
x = 7 and y = 6
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are inverse reciprocals of each other. That would give you the new slope in your equation. After that plug (6,2) into point slope form and solve to get your final equation.
3 of anything positive is greater than 2 of the same thing.
I can't think of an exception.
Answer:
3 / 4
Step-by-step explanation:
We can realize that both the numerator and denominator have a common factor of 9. We can divide them both by 9 to get:
3 / 4
This fraction is in simplest form.
Step-by-step explanation:
gradient = slope or several other words.
it describes how strongly a line (or tangent to a bent curve) is going up or down or ... if it is changing at all.
it is represented by the ratio
(y coordinate change / x coordinate change)
when going from one point on the line to another.
in our case, when going from A to B we have
x changes by -2k (from 3k to k).
y changes by -11 (from 8 to -3).
so, the gradient or slope is
-11/-2k = 3
11/2k = 3
11 = 3×2k = 6k
k = 11/6
A = (33/6, 8) = (11/2, 8)
B = (11/6, -3)
