Three vertices of a parallelogram are shown in the figure below. Give the coordinates of the fourth vertex.

topjm [15]

Given:

The three vertices of a parallelogram are (-3,8), (4,5), (2,-5).

To find:

The fourth vertex of the parallelogram.

Solution:

Let the vertices of the parallelogram are A(-3,8), B(4,5), C(2,-5) and D(a,b).

We know that, diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. It means midpoints of both diagonals are same.

Midpoint formula:

$Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$

Two diagonals of ABCD are AC and BD.

Midpoint of AC = Midpoint of BD

$\left(\dfrac{-3+2}{2},\dfrac{8-5}{2}\right)=\left(\dfrac{4+a}{2},\dfrac{5+b}{2}\right)$

$\left(\dfrac{-1}{2},\dfrac{3}{2}\right)=\left(\dfrac{4+a}{2},\dfrac{5+b}{2}\right)$

On comparing both sides, we get

$\dfrac{4+a}{2}=\dfrac{-1}{2}$

$4+a=-1$

$a=-1-4$

$a=-5$

And,

$\dfrac{5+b}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2}$

$5+b=3$

$b=3-5$

$b=-2$

Therefore, the coordinates of fourth vertex are (-5,-2).

If the function is y = 4.5x. Then the rate of change of the function expressed as a unit rate will be 4.5.

<h3>What is the linear system?</h3>

A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.

A bike rental company charges a fee per hour.

The charge, in dollars, is the same each hour.

The ordered pairs (3, 13.50) and (5, 22.50) represent the corresponding hours, x, and cost, y.

Then the linear equation is given as

$\begin{aligned} \rm y - 22.5 &= \rm \dfrac{22.5 - 13.5}{5 - 3} (x- 5)\\\\\rm y - 22.5 &= \rm 4.5x - 22.5\\\\\rm y &= \rm 4.5x \end$

Then the rate of change of the function expressed as a unit rate will be

$\rm \dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{d}{dx} (4.5x )\\\\\dfrac{dy}{dx} = 4.5$

The perimeter of parallelogram is 72 meters. The width of the parallelogram is 4 meters less than its length . Find the Length a

Marrrta [24]

Let n = length
let n-4 = width since it is 4 meters shorter

2( n+n-4) =72 Two of the length and width added together equal the perimeter
combine like terms
2(2n -4) = 72 Now use the distributive law on the left side of the equation
4n -8 = 72 Now add 8 to both sides

4n -8 +8 = 72 +8
4n = 80 Finally divide each side by 4
n=20
so the length is 20 and the width is 4 less or 16.
Let's see if our answer works.
20 + 16 + 20 +16 =? 72
72 =72 yes, it does. Length = 20 Width = 16

Write the equation of a line perpendicular to 9xplus7yequals6 that passes through the point (9,negative 7).

andrew11 [14]

$k:\ y=m_1x+b_1\\\\l:\ y=m_2x+b_2\\\\k\ ||\ l\iff m_1=m_2\\\\k\ \perp\ l\iff m_1m_2=-1$

We have:

$k:\ 9x+7y=6\ \ \ |-9x\\\\7y=-9x+6\ \ \ \ |:7\\\\y=-\dfrac{9}{7}x+\dfrac{6}{9}\to m_1=-\dfrac{9}{7}\\\\l:\ y=m_2x+b\\\\l\ \perp\ k\iff-\dfrac{9}{7}m_2=-1\ \ \ \ |\cdot\left(-\dfrac{7}{9}\right)\\\\m_2=\dfrac{7}{9}\to\ l:\ y=\dfrac{7}{9}x+b$

We know. The line <em>l</em> passes throught the point (9, -7). Substitute the coordinates of the poin to the equation of line<em> l </em>:

$-7=\dfrac{7}{9}\cdot9+b\\\\-7=7+b\ \ \ \ |-7\\\\b=-14$

$y=\dfrac{7}{9}x-14\ \ \ \ |\cdot9\\\\9y=7x-126\ \ \ \ |-9y\ |+126\\\\7x-9y=126$

Answer: $y=\dfrac{7}{9}x-14\to7x-9y=126$
