The following set of coordinates most specifically represents which figure? (−5, 6), (−1, 8), (3, 6), (−1, 4) (6 points) Paralle

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Rhombus

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are A(−5, 6), B(−1, 8), C(3, 6), D(−1, 4).

We use the distance formula to find the length of AB.

$|AB|=\sqrt{(-1--5)^2+(8-6)^2}$

$|AB|=\sqrt{16+4}$

$|AB|=\sqrt{20}$

The length of AD is

$|AD|=\sqrt{(-1--5)^2+(6-4)^2}$

$|AD|=\sqrt{16+4}$

$|AD|=\sqrt{20}$

The length of BC is:

$|BC|=\sqrt{(-1-3)^2+(8-6)^2}$

$|BC|=\sqrt{16+4}$

$|BC|=\sqrt{20}$

The length of CD is

$|CD|=\sqrt{(-1-3)^2+(6-4)^2}$

$|CD|=\sqrt{16+4}$

$|CD|=\sqrt{20}$

Since all sides are congruent the quadrilateral could be a rhombus or a square.

Slope of AB $=\frac{8-6}{-1--5}=\frac{1}{2}$

Slope of BC $=\frac{8-6}{-1-3}=-\frac{1}{2}$

Since the slopes of the adjacent sides are not negative reciprocals of each other, the quadrilateral cannot be a square. It is a rhombus

Which sentence can represent the inequality? 1/4x+ 3/4 ≥ 5 1/4

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer: Your choice is the first one above.

In our inequality, x is our unknown, so that is "a number" in the wording above. 1/2x means half the number. So we have half a number plus 3/4. Of course "plus" means sum, so we have "the sum of half a number and 3/4" so far. The inequality sign is greater than or equal to. That means that the left side CAN equal the right side and it can also be greater than the right side, but it's not ok to be less than the right side.
