Answer:
(a) 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m of the line given using the gradient formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0,3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 2)
m = = -
given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
= 3 → (a)
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. Hence, the two shorter sides created on diagonal RT ("6x-7" and "x+28" ) are equal.
<em>We can set them equal and solve for x:</em>
<em></em>
<em />
<em>So the side length of 6x -7 is:</em>
<em>6(7)-7 = 35</em>
<em>and the side length of x + 28 is:</em>
<em>7 + 28 = 35</em>
<em />
<em>THus, the diagonal RT = 35 + 35 = 70 units</em>
<em />
<em>Answer choice A is right.</em>
