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

During 30 minutes on the treadmill, LaToya burned 20 calories per minute. What is the rate of change of the function that repres
Genrish500 [490]
The answer I believe is 10 calories per minute because 20 x30 =600 I did that because she burned 20 calories per minute so with that being said there’s 60 minutes is the maximum minutes any time can go to so you do 600 divided by 60 which equals 10 which means she burns 10 calories per minute hope this is right

how many days will it take a 14 year old boy to clean up trash for 12.5 hours at a low temperature of 47 degrees and high temper
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

It will take half of a day

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 12.5 is roughly half of the day, no matter what temperature is, it will take you this amount of time. You also need to include the time that you will use to take breaks and eat meals.

High Construction Company distributed 8% of its total profit, an amount equal to $5500 in
makvit [3.9K]

Given :

High Construction Company distributed 8% of its total profit, an amount equal to $5500 in  bonus this year.

To Find :

The total profit .

Solution :

Let , total profit be x .

It is given that 8 % of the total profit is equal to $5500 .

So ,

\dfrac{8x}{100}=5500\\\\x=\dfrac{5500\times 100}{8}\\\\x=\$\ 68750

Therefore , total profit is $68750 .

Hence , this is the required solution .

What is the measure of RPQ
patriot [66]

Answer:

239

Step-by-step explanation:

SP is the diameter so Arc RP is supplementary to Arc SR

31 + x = 180

x = 149

Arc PQ is supplementary to Arc SQ so

90 +  x = 180

x = 90

Arc Addition:

149 + 90 = 239
