Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the interior angle of any regular polygon is given as;

Interior Angle = 180(n - 2)/n

Where n is number of sides

We are told the interior angle is 40°

Thus;

180(n - 2)/n = 40

Cross multiply to get;

180n - 360 = 40n

180n - 40n = 360

140n = 360

n = 360/140

n = 2.57

Number of sides of a regular polygon cannot be in decimal nor can it have less than 3 sides.

Thus, a shape with interior angle of 40 cannot be a polygon.

Below represents the proof that the quadrilateral QRST is a parallelogram

<h3>How to prove that QRST is a parallelogram?</h3>

The coordinates are given as:

Q = (-1,-1)

R = (2,9)

S = (-4,5)

T = (-7,-5)

Calculate the length of each side using:

$d = \sqrt{(x_2 -x_1)^2 + (y_2 -y_1)^2}$

So, we have:

$QR = \sqrt{(-1 - 2)^2 + (-1 -9)^2} = \sqrt{109}$

$RS = \sqrt{(-4 - 2)^2 + (5 - 9)^2} = \sqrt{52}$

$ST = \sqrt{(-7 + 4)^2 + (-5 - 5)^2} = \sqrt{109}$

$TQ = \sqrt{(-7 + 1)^2 + (-5 + 1)^2} = \sqrt{52}$

The above computations show that opposite sides are equal.

Next, we determine the slope of each side using:

$m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}$

So, we have:

$QR = \frac{9 + 1}{2 + 3} = \frac{10}3$

$RS = \frac{5-9}{-4 - 2} = \frac{2}3$

$ST = \frac{5+5}{-4 + 7} = \frac{10}3$

$TQ = \frac{-5+1}{-7 + 1} = \frac{2}3$

The above computations show that opposite sides are parallel, because they have equal slope

Hence, the quadrilateral QRST is a parallelogram

2y = 4x - 8 <br>3x + 2y = 6<br>graph

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it convenient to let a graphing calculator draw the graph (attached).

If you're drawing the graph by hand, there are a couple of strategies that can be useful.

The first equation is almost in slope-intercept form. Dividing it by 2 will put it in that form:

y = 2x -4

This tells you that the y-intercept, (0, -4) is a point on the graph, as is the point that is up 2 and right 1 from there: (1, -2). A line through those points completes the graph.

The second equation is in standard form, so the x- and y-intercepts are easily found. One way to do that is to divide by the constant on the right to get ...

x/2 +y/3 = 1

The denominators of the x-term and the y-term are the x-intercept and the y-intercept, respectively. If that is too mind-bending, you can simply set x=0 to find the y-intercept:

0 +2y = 6

y = 6/2 = 3

and set y=0 to find the x-intercept

3x +0 = 6

x = 6/3 = 2

Plot the intercepts and draw the line through them for the graph of this equation.

___

Here, we have suggested graphing strategies that don't involve a lot of manipulation of the equations. The idea is to get there as quickly as possible with a minimum of mistakes.
