We know that
A Parallelogram <span>is a flat shape with opposite sides parallel and equal in length
</span>
we have
<span>A(-1,5) B(5,1) C(6,-2) D(x,2)

step 1
find the slope and the distance between point A and B
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)-----></span>m=(1-5)/(5+1)<span> ------> m=-4/6----> m=-2/3
dAB=</span>√[4²+6²----> dAB=√52 units
<span>
step 2
find the equation of the line CD parallel to the line AB and pass through the point C 
m=-2/3  (parallel lines have the same slope)
point C (6,-2)
y-y1=m*(x-x1)-------> y+2=(-2/3)*(x-6)----> y=(-2/3)x+4-2----> y=</span>(-2/3)x+2<span>

Step 3
with the equation of a line CD find the point D (x,2)
</span>y=(-2/3)x+2
<span>for y=2
</span>2=(-2/3)x+2---> (-2/3)x=0-------> x=0
<span>the point D is (0,2)

step 4
find the distance CD
</span>C(6,-2) D(0,2)
d=√[(2+2)²+(6)²]--------> d=√52
<span>so
dAB=dCD

step 5
</span>find the slope and the distance between point A and D
A(-1,5) D(0,2)<span>
m=(2-5)/(0+1)----> m=-3
d=</span>√[3²+1²]----> d=√10
<span>
step 6
</span>find the slope and the distance between point B and C
B(5,1) C(6,-2)
m=(-2-1)/(6-5)----> m=-3
d=√[3²+1²]----> d=√10
so
the slope BC=slope AD
the distance BC=distance AD

therefore

the figure is a Parallelogram

using a graph tool
see the attached figure

the answer is
the x coordinate of point D is 0

Identifying the slope, y-intercept and x- intercept of each
Elena L [17]

Answer:

slope= -3

y-intercept= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Approach

To solve this problem, one needs the slope and the y-intercept. First, one will solve for the slope, using the given points, then input it into the equation of a line in slope-intercept form. The one can solve for the y-intercept.

2.Solve for the slope

The formula to find the slope of a line is;

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Where (m) is the variable used to represent the slope.

Use the first two given points, and solve;

(1, 3), (2, 0)

Substitute in,

\frac{(0)-(3)}{(2)-(1)}

Simplify;

\frac{-3}{1}\\\\=-3

3. Put equation into slope-intercept form

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is;

y = mx + b

Where (m) is the slope, and (b) is the y-intercept.

Since one solved for the slope, substitute that in, then substitute in another point, and solve for the parameter (b).

y=-3x+b

Substitute in point (3, -3)

-3=-3(3)+b\\-3 = -9 + b\\6 = b

The histogram shows the ages of people in a community chorus. How many people in the chorus are 50 or older? Enter your answer i
Vilka [71]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of people in the chorus are 50 or older is as follows

According to the attached figure

In the age of 50 - 60 , there is 8 people

In the age of 60 - 70 , there is 4 people

In the age of 70 -80, there is 1 people

So, if we do the total that comes

= 8 people + 4 people + 1 people

= 13 people

Hence, the no of people would be 13

The same is relevant
