Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2 lines are perpendicular then the product of their slopes = - 1

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

y = - x - 4 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 1

5x - 5y = 20 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

- 5y = - 5x + 20 ( divide all terms by - 5 )

y = x - 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 1

Thus product of their slopes is - 1 × 1 = - 1

Therefore the lines are perpendicular

A quadratic equation can be written in vertex form or in standard form. Sometimes one form is more beneficial than the other. Id

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Below are suppose the be the questions:

a. factor the equation
b. graph the parabola 
c. identify the vertex minimum or maximum of the parabola 
d. solve the equation using the quadratic formula

below are the answers:

Vertex form is most helpful for all of these tasks.
Let 
.. f(x) = a(x -h) +k ... the function written in vertex form. 

a) Factor: 
.. (x -h +√(-k/a)) * (x -h -√(-k/a)) 

b) Graph: 
.. It is a graph of y=x^2 with the vertex translated to (h, k) and vertically stretched by a factor of "a". 

c) Vertex and Extreme: 
.. The vertex is (h, k). It is a maximum if "a" is negative; a minimum otherwise. 

d) Solutions: 
.. The quadratic formula is based on the notion of completing the square. In vertex form, the square is already completed, so the roots are 
.. x = h ± √(-k/a)

Polygon ABCD is defined by the points A(-4,2) B(-2, 4), C(1, 3) & D(2,2). Match the coordinates of the points of the transfo

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

D'(-2, 2); C''(3, -1); A'''(4, -2); and B''(4, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for the figure.

For D', rotating the point (2, 2) 90° counterclockwise. This maps each point (x, y)→(-y, x); it takes (2, 2)→(-2, 2).

For C'', rotating the point (1, 3) 90° clockwise. This maps each point (x, y)→(y, -x); it takes (1, 3)→(3, -1).

For A''', rotating the point (-4, 2) 180° clockwise. This maps every point (x, y)→(-x, -y); it takes (-4, 2)→(4, -2).

For B'', rotating the point (-2, 4) 270° counterclockwise. This is the similar as rotating the point 90° clockwise. This maps every point (x, y)→(y, -x); it takes (-2, 4)→(4, 2).
