Explanation:

When multiplying and dividing more than two positive and negative numbers, use the Even-Odd Rule: Count the number of negative signs — if you have an even number of negatives, the result is positive, but if you have an odd number of negatives, the result is negative. This problem has just one negative sign

1. Find the slope of a line that passes through the points (-1,-4) and (5, -1).

Blizzard [7]

The answer is A. 1/2

(-1,-4) are (x1, y1)
(5,-1) are (x2, y2)
So you subtract y2-y1/x2-x1 = -1-(-4)/5-(-1)
-1-(4) = 3
5-(-1) = 6
3/6= 1/2
Slope is 1/2 making A your answer

The lengths of the

Answer:

$S_{\Delta ABC}$ = 4· $S_{\Delta EDC}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the midpoint theorem, which states that the line that a line drawn such that it joins the midpoints of two sides of a triangle, is parallel to the third side of the triangle and is equal to half the length of the third side

Therefore, the lengths of the sides of ΔDEF, drawn by joining the midpoints of ΔABC is equal to half the length of and parallel to the corresponding side of ΔABC

We therefore, have that the corresponding sides of ΔABC and ΔDEF have a common ratio and a pair of sides in each triangle form same angles, therefore;

ΔDEF is similar to ΔABC by Side, Side, Side SSS similarity.

The length of the perimeter of ΔABC, $S_{\Delta ABC}$ = 2 × The length of the perimeter of triangle ΔEDC, $S_{\Delta EDC}$

$S_{\Delta ABC}$ = 2 × $S_{\Delta EDC}$

∴ $S_{\Delta ABC}$ ≠ 4 × $S_{\Delta EDC}$

The statement which is incorrect is therefore;

$S_{\Delta ABC}$ = 4 × $S_{\Delta EDC}$ .
