D is halfway between A and B

so the coordinates of D are (2,2)

E is halfway between A and C so the coordinates of E are (-1,1)

now you need to find the gradient/slope of DE and BC using the formula:

\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

<h3><u>G</u><u>r</u><u>a</u><u>d</u><u>i</u><u>e</u><u>n</u><u>t</u><u> </u><u>o</u><u>f</u><u> </u><u>D</u><u>E</u><u>:</u><u> </u></h3>

SUB IN COORDINATES OF D AND E

\frac{1 - 2}{ - 1 - 2}

therefore the gradient of DE is 1/3.

<h3><u>G</u><u>r</u><u>a</u><u>d</u><u>i</u><u>e</u><u>n</u><u>t</u><u> </u><u>o</u><u>f</u><u> </u><u>B</u><u>C</u><u>:</u></h3>

<em>S</em><em>U</em><em>B</em><em> </em><em>I</em><em>N</em><em> </em><em>C</em><em>O</em><em>O</em><em>R</em><em>D</em><em>I</em><em>N</em><em>A</em><em>T</em><em>E</em><em>S</em><em> </em><em>O</em><em>F</em><em> </em><em>B</em><em> </em><em>A</em><em>N</em><em>D</em><em> </em><em>C</em>

<em>\frac{ - 2 - 0}{ - 3 - 3}</em>

therefore the gradient of BC is -2/-6 which simplifies to 1/3.

<h3>therefore, BC and DE are parallel as they both have a gradient/slope of 1/3 and parallel lines have the same gradient</h3>

Hello everyone, i am very confused by this question:
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Read the explanation down

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a linear equation, because the equation does not have any exponents. Graph it by putting the equation into either slope-intercept form y=mx+b or point-slope form y−y1=m(x−x1).

Isolate y by first adding 6x to each side:

9y=6x−18

Divide each side by 9:

y=23x−2

Now graph the line y=23x−2 by first plotting the y intercept at (0,−2), then connecting points with a slope of 23.

graph{2/3x-2 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

The three lines given below form a triangle. Find the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle.
LenKa [72]

Answer:

  • (3, 5), (1, 2) and (5, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Make three systems with pairs of lines and solve them to work out the vertices.

1) <u>Line 1 and line 2</u>

  • -3x + 2y = 1
  • 2x + y = 11

<u>Double the second equation and subtract equations:</u>

  • -3x + 2y - 2(2x + y) = 1 - 2(11)
  • -3x - 4x = 1 - 22
  • -7x = - 21
  • x = 3

<u>Find y:</u>

  • 2*3 + y = 11
  • 6 + y = 11
  • y = 11 - 6
  • y = 5

The point is (3, 5)

2) <u>Line 1 and line 3</u>

  • -3x + 2y = 1
  • x + 4y = 9

<u>Triple the second equation and add up equations:</u>

  • -3x + 2y + 3(x + 4y) = 1 + 3(9)
  • 2y + 12y = 1 + 27
  • 14y = 28
  • y = 2

<u>Find x:</u>

  • x + 4*2 = 9
  • x + 8 = 9
  • x = 1

The point is (1, 2)

3) <u>Line 2 and line 3</u>

  • 2x + y = 11
  • x + 4y = 9

<u>Double the second equation and subtract the equations:</u>

  • 2x + y - 2(x + 4y) = 11 - 2(9)
  • y - 8y = 11 - 18
  • - 7y = - 7
  • y = 1

<u>Find x:</u>

  • x + 4*1 = 9
  • x + 4 = 9
  • x = 5

The point is (5, 1)
