<h3>Answer: C) scalene</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

Use the distance formula to calculate the distance from R to S. This is identical to the length of segment RS.

R = (x_1,y_1) = (-3,-1) \text{ and } S = (x_2, y_2) = (0,3)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-3-0)^2 + (-1-3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + (-4)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{9 + 16}\\\\d = \sqrt{25}\\\\d = 5\\\\

Segment RS is exactly 5 units long.

-----------------------

Repeat similar steps to find the length of segment ST

S = (x_1,y_1) = (0,3) \text{ and } T = (x_2, y_2) = (3,0)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(0-3)^2 + (3-0)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + (3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{9 + 9}\\\\d = \sqrt{18}\\\\d \approx 4.2426\\\\

ST is roughly 4.2426 units long.

------------------------

Lastly, let's calculate the length of segment TR.

T = (x_1,y_1) = (3,0) \text{ and } R = (x_2, y_2) = (-3,-1)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(3-(-3))^2 + (0-(-1))^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(3+3)^2 + (0+1)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(6)^2 + (1)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{36 + 1}\\\\d = \sqrt{37}\\\\d \approx 6.0828\\\\

TR is about 6.0828 units long.

------------------------

Summary of the segment lengths:

  • RS = 5 exactly
  • ST = 4.2426 approximately
  • TR = 6.0828 approximately

The three sides are different lengths.

Therefore, the triangle is <u>scalene</u>.

Given the linear equation 2x + y = 6, perform the necessary operations to put the equation into the proper general form. Explain
likoan [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation is y = mx + c...

The given equation is 2x + y = 6

Firstly, move everything on the left except the y to the right.i.e.

y = 6 - 2x

Secondly, rearrange the values on the right to look just like the general equation.

y = -2x + 6

The equation is now in proper general form because it matches the format laid down.

I'm having a hard time on this problem. Plz help. Will mark brainliest.
Grace [21]

Answer:

<h2>y = 31</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We know: opposite angles in a parallelogram have the same measure.

Therefore we have the equation:

x+y=87+y            <em>subtract y from both sides</em>

x=87

We know: the sum of the angle measures in the triangle is 180°.

Therefore we have the equation:

42+(x+y)+20=180          <em>subtitute x = 87</em>

42+87+y+20=180

149+y=180              <em>subtract 149 from both sides</em>

y=31
