Answer:
The slope of NP is ⇒ B
Step-by-step explanation:
- In any square, every two opposite sides are parallel and every two consecutive sides are perpendicular
- Parallel lines have the same slope
- The product of the slopes of the perpendicular lines is -1, which means if the slope of one m, then the slope of the other is
(reciprocal m and change its sign)
- The rule of the slope of the line which passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is m =
In square MNPR
∵ MN and NP are adjacent sides
∴ MN ⊥ NP
∵ M = (3, 8) and N = (-2, 1)
∴ x1 = 3 and y1 = 8
∴ x2 = -2 and y2 = 1
→ Use the rule of the slope above to find the slope of MN
∴ m(MN) =
∴ m(MN) =
∴ m(MN) =
∵ MN ⊥ NP
∴ The product of their slopes = -1
→ Reciprocal the slope of MN and change its sign
∴ m(NP) =
∴ The slope of NP is
Answer:
Distance is 6.7units to the nearest tenth.
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we the distance formula. And this is given as:
We were given the equation:
y = 2 x + 4
This can also be rewritten as:
y – 2 x – 4 = 0.
Therefore, a = -2, b = 1 and c = -4
Also, we were given the points:
(x, y) = (–4, 11)
Making use of the above formula for distance, we have:
D = 6.7units (to the nearest tenth)
