<h3>
Answer: y - 4 = -2(x - 5)</h3>
==================================================
Explanation:
Point slope form is
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is the point the line goes through.
Parallel lines have equal slopes but different y intercepts. The given equation y = -2x-3 has a slope of -2, meaning that m = -2 is also the slope of the mystery parallel line.
-2 will go in the second box that's just to the left of the parenthesis.
The coordinates of (5, 4) will go in the other remaining boxes to finish off the equation.
We go from this
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
to this
y - 4 = -2(x - 5)
Both are correct they just chose a different variable to solve for first. they will both get correct answers if they do the rest correctly.
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
A rhombus is a parallelogram with all four sides equal.
Its diagonals are perpendicular.
Each of the triangles formed by the diagonals and the sides are congruent, so the area of the rhombus is 4 times the area of one of the triangles.
Since the short diagonal is given as 4, each of the triangles can be viewed as having a base of 2. Each triangle's height, h, then is one half the length of the long diagonal.
The are of one of the triangles is 1/2 (base)(height)=(1/2)(2)h
The area of the rhombus is then
4(1/2)(2)h=24
Solving for h gives
h=6
This makes the length of the long diagonal 2h=12
