Answer:

(-1,1),(4,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The hypotenuse of a right triangle has endpoints A(4, 1) and B(–1, –2).

To find: coordinates of vertex of the right angle

Solution:

Let C be point (x,y)

Distance between points (x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2) is given by \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

AC=\sqrt{(x-4)^2+(y-1)^2}\\BC=\sqrt{(x+1)^2+(y+2)^2}\\AB=\sqrt{(4+1)^2+(1+2)^2}=\sqrt{25+9}=\sqrt{34}

ΔABC is a right angled triangle, suing Pythagoras theorem (square of hypotenuse is equal to sum of squares of base and perpendicular)

34=\left [ (x-4)^2+(y-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (x+1)^2+(y+2)^2 \right ]

Put (x,y)=(-1,1)

34=\left [ (-1-4)^2+(1-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (-1+1)^2+(1+2)^2 \right ]\\34=25+9\\34=34

which is true. So, (-1,1) can be a vertex

Put (x,y)=(4,-2)

34=\left [ (4-4)^2+(-2-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (4+1)^2+(-2+2)^2 \right ]\\34=9+25\\34=34

which is true. So, (4,-2) can be a vertex

Put (x,y)=(1,1)

34=\left [ (1-4)^2+(1-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (1+1)^2+(1+2)^2 \right ]\\34=9+4+9\\34=22

which is not true. So, (1,1) cannot be a vertex

Put (x,y)=(2,-2)

34=\left [ (2-4)^2+(-2-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (2+1)^2+(-2+2)^2 \right ]\\34=4+9+9\\34=22

which is not true. So, (2,-2) cannot be a vertex

Put (x,y)=(4,-1)

34=\left [ (4-4)^2+(-1-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (4+1)^2+(-1+2)^2 \right ]\\34=4+25+1\\34=30

which is not true. So, (4,-1) cannot be a vertex

Put (x,y)=(-1,4)

34=\left [ (-1-4)^2+(4-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (-1+1)^2+(4+2)^2 \right ]\\34=25+9+36\\34=70

which is not true. So, (-1,4) cannot be a vertex

So, possible points for the vertex are (-1,1),(4,-2)

Answer:

2A

Step-by-step explanation:

\left(\left(-3\right)^{16^{\frac{1}{2}}}-\left(-7\right)^{8^{\frac{1}{3}}}\right)^{0.2}=32^{0.2}\\=32^{0.2}A\\32^{0.2}=2\\= 2A

I NEED HELP FASTT!!! PLEASE
AysviL [449]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

8x - 6 > 12 + 2x

Subtract 2x from each

8x -2x -6 > 12+2x-2x

6x -6 > 12

Add 6 to each side

6x -6+6 > 12+6

6x > 18

Divide by 6

6x/6 > 18/6

x > 3

The only value greater than 3 is 5

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (4, 3) and (2, 7)?​
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

given 2 points on a line (x1, yx) and (x2,y2)

the formula for slope, m  = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

in this case,

x1 = 4, y1 = 3, x2 = 2, y2 = 7

Hence,

m  = (7-3) / (2-4) = 4 / -2 = -2

Yakvenalex [24]

Ultimately, the question is "What is 5% of $279.95?"

To answer this, multiply 279.95 by 5%, or 0.05 which is 5% in decimal form.
