Answer:

The equation of the straight line is 4x +y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Given points are (-1,5) and ( 2,-7)

Slope of the line

m =\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2} -x_{1} }  =\frac{-7-5}{2-(-1)}  = \frac{-12}{3} = -4

slope of the line m = -4

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

The equation of the straight line passing through the point (-1,5) and having slope 'm' = -4

y - y_{1} = m( x-x_{1} )

y - 5 = -4 ( x-(-1))

y -5 = -4 x -4

4 x + y -5 +4=0

4x +y -1 =0

<u><em>Final answer:-</em></u>

The equation of the straight line is 4x +y = 1

<u><em>  </em></u>

Parallelogram PARL is similar to parallelogram WXYZ. If AP = 25, PL = 29, and WZ = 145, find the value of c.
joja [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallelogram PARL is similar to parallelogram WXYZ. If AP = 14, PL = 25, and WZ = 100, find the value of c.

100=25*4, so the other side must be also multiplicated by 4 ansd 14*4=56

How can you best describe a stop sign using polygons? the sign has sides, so it is . it appears to be because the sides and angl
USPshnik [31]

A polygon is a two-dimensional closed object. The polygon that best describes a stop sign is a regular octagon.

<h3>What is a polygon?</h3>

A polygon is a two-dimensional closed object with n number of straight sides that is flat or planar and the value of n is always greater than 2 (n>2).

<h3>What is an octagon?</h3>

An octagon is a polygon that has 8 number of sides.

As we know that a stop sign has 8 sides, therefore, the polygon that is in the shape of the stop sign is an octagon.

An octagon has 8 sides, and as it is mentioned in the problem that sides and angles appear to be congruent, therefore, the polygon must be a regular polygon.

Hence, the polygon that best describes a stop sign is a regular octagon.
