Answer:

x = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 9 to both sides of the equation

3 − 9 = −42

3 − 9 + 9 = −42 + 9

Simplify

Add the numbers

3 = −33

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

3 = −33

3/3 = −33/3

Simplify

Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator

Divide the numbers

= −11

prove that the quadrilateral whose vertices are the points A(-1,1), B(-3,4), C(1,5) and D(3,2) is a parallelogram.

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Since $\overrightarrow{AB} = \overrightarrow{DC}$ and $\overrightarrow{AD} = \overrightarrow{BC}$ , then the quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we label each point of the quadrilateral with the help of a graphing tool. If the quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram, then $\overrightarrow{AB} = \overrightarrow{DC}$ and $\overrightarrow{AD} = \overrightarrow{BC}$ . If we know that $A(x,y) =(-1, 1)$ , $B(x,y) =(-3,4)$ , $C(x,y) = (1,5)$ and $D(x,y) = (3,2)$ , then the measure of each vector is, respectively:
