Step-by-step explanation:

$h(x) = \frac{2}{3} x - 9$

$h( - 6) = \frac{2}{3} ( - 6) - 9$

$= - 4 - 9$

$= - 13$

The slope and y intercept

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

the y intercept is 5 because the line passes through 5 on the y axis. Now to find the slope, pick two points where the line hits directly on the corner of the grid squares. pIck 2 of those and count the squares up till you are lined up with your other point then count over and get another number. Put the number going up over the number going down like x/y and you'll have your answer. ( simplify it if you can.(-2,3) and (0,5) are a good place to start. The answer should be 2/3. Hope this helped and God bless!

2. Given a quadrilateral with vertices (−1, 3), (1, 5), (5, 1), and (3,−1):

zlopas [31]

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In every rectangle, the two diagonals have the same length. If a quadrilateral's diagonals have the same length, that doesn't mean it has to be a rectangle, but if a parallelogram's diagonals have the same length, then it's definitely a rectangle.

So first of all, let's prove this is a parallelogram. The basic definition of a parallelogram is that it is a quadrilateral where both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.

So let's name the vertices as:

$A(-1,3) \\ \\ B(1,5) \\ \\ C(5,1) \\ \\ D(3,-1)$

First pair of opposite sides:

<u>Slope:</u>

$\text{For AB}: \\ \\ m=\frac{5-3}{1-(-1)}=1 \\ \\ \\ \text{For CD}: \\ \\ m=\frac{1-(-1)}{5-3}=1 \\ \\ \\ \text{So AB and CD are parallel}$

Second pair of opposite sides:

<u>Slope:</u>

$\text{For BC}: \\ \\ m=\frac{1-5}{5-1}=-1 \\ \\ \\ \text{For AD}: \\ \\ m=\frac{-1-3}{3-(-1)}=-1 \\ \\ \\ \text{So BC and AD are parallel}$

So in fact this is a parallelogram. The other thing we need to prove is that the diagonals measure the same. Using distance formula:

$d=\sqrt{(y_{2}-y_{1})^2+(x_{2}-x_{1})^2} \\ \\ \\ Diagonal \ BD: \\ \\ d=\sqrt{(5-(-1))^2+(1-3)^2}=2\sqrt{10} \\ \\ \\ Diagonal \ AC: \\ \\ d=\sqrt{(3-1)^2+(-5-1)^2}=2\sqrt{10} \\ \\ \\$
