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

What is 6 1/3 - 4 2/3 = ?
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

3 1/4 + 2 1/3 = 67 / 12 = 57 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion a mixed number to a improper fraction: 3 1/4 = 3 · 4 + 1

4

= 13

4

Conversion a mixed number to a improper fraction: 2 1/3 = 2 · 3 + 1

3

= 7

3

Add: 13

4

+ 7

3

= 13 · 3

4 · 3

+ 7 · 4

3 · 4

= 39

12

+ 28

12

= 39 + 28

12

= 67

12

A random number generator is used to select an integer from 1 to 100 ​(inclusively). What is the probability of selecting the in
natima [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

A random variable generator selects an integer from 1 to 100 both inclusive leaves us with total number of possible sample as 101.

We need to find the probability of selecting the integer 194.

The probability of selecting 194 from the sample is zero as the point does not exist in the random variable generator. Thus we can never pick 194 from the random variable generator giving us the probability a zero.
