Step-by-step explanation:

the Pythagorean Theorem only works with right triangles. You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle if you know the length of the triangle's other two sides, called the legs.

What name is given to the type of data that is descriptive rather than numerical?

dexar [7]

In statistics, thre are basically two types of data: qualitative and quantitative data

<span>Qualitative data is information about qualities; information that can't actually be measured. While quantitative data are data that can be measured.

Therefore, the </span><span>name is given to the type of data that is descriptive rather than numerical</span> is qualitativre data.

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to 8x-5y=2 and goes through the point (-5,-2)

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

8x - 5y = - 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 8x - 5y = 2 into this form

Subtract 8x from both sides

- 5y = - 8x + 2 ( divide all terms by - 5 )

y = $\frac{8}{5}$ x - $\frac{2}{5}$ ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = $\frac{8}{5}$

• Parallel lines have equal slopes, hence

y = $\frac{8}{5}$ x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line

To find c substitute (- 5, - 2) into the partial equation

- 2 = - 8 + c ⇒ c = - 2 + 8 = 6

y = $\frac{8}{5}$ x + 6 ← in slope- intercept form

Multiply through by 5

5y = 8x + 30 ( subtract 5y from both sides )

0 = 8x - 5y + 30 ( subtract 30 from both sides )

8x - 5y = - 30 ← in standard form

THE vertices of a triangle are P(-1,3), Q(2,-1), and R(5,3) choose all the congruent sides of the triangle

Ratling [72]

Answer:

PQ and QR are congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of PQ = sqrt [(2 - -1)^2 + (-1 - 3)^2]

= sqrt 25

= 5 units.

QR = sqrt [(5-2)^2 + (3 - -1)^2) ]

= sqrt 25

= 5 units.

PR = sqrt [ ( 3-3^2 + (5- -1)^2]

= sqrt 36

= 6 units.
