Powered by AIThe transformation needed is to solve for y in terms of x, to convert the equation into the slope-intercept form y = mx + c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept. For √3x + y - 8 = 0, solving for y gives y = -√3x + 8. Here, the slope m is -√3 and the y-intercept is 8 .
The altitude from a vertex is perpendicular to the opposite side. Calculate slopes of sides and their perpendicular slopes for altitudes: AB's slope is (-1-9)/(-2+4)=5, thus altitude from C has slope -1/5, and line through C(-2,-1): y + 1 = -1/5(x + 2). Similarly for altitudes from A and B. Find intersection of these altitudes for orthocenter. Solving gives orthocenter at intersection point slightly exhaustive, requires using slope pair, substitution for detailed intersection solution, approximately O(0,5) via detailed symmetry and calculated geometry .
These lines are parallel as they have the same slope (-3/4). The distance between two parallel lines Ax + By + C1 = 0 and Ax + By + C2 = 0 can be calculated using the formula |C2 - C1|/√(A² + B²). For these lines, A = 3, B = -4, C1 = 9 and C2 = -15. Substituting these into the formula gives |-15 - 9|/√(3² + (-4)²) = 24/5 = 4.8 .
The slope of the line 7x + 5y - 4 = 0 is -7/5. A line perpendicular to this has a slope that is the negative reciprocal, which is 5/7. Using the point-slope form of a line (y - y1 = m(x - x1)) with point (2, 3), the equation becomes y - 3 = 5/7(x - 2). Simplifying gives y = 5/7x - 10/7 + 21/7, resulting in y = 5/7x + 11/7 .
To show collinearity, calculate the slopes of segments between two pairs of these points. The slope between (5,1) and (1,-1) is (1 + 1)/(5 - 1) = 1/2. The slope between (1,-1) and (11,4) is (4 + 1)/(11 - 1) = 5/10 = 1/2. Since the slopes are equal, the points are collinear. To find the line equation, use the point-slope form y - y1 = m(x - x1) with slope m = 1/2, and one of the points, say (5,1). The line equation is y - 1 = 1/2(x - 5), which simplifies to y = 1/2x - 5/2 + 2/2, or y = 1/2x - 3 .
The length of the side of the equilateral triangle can be found by calculating the perpendicular distance from the vertex (2,-1) to the line x + y - 2 = 0, which also serves as the altitude in this equilateral configuration. The perpendicular distance formula gives the distance as |2 + (-1) - 2|/√(1^2 + 1^2) = |-1|/√2 = 1/√2. Since this is the length of the altitude of the equilateral triangle, each side, being √3/2 of the altitude length, equals (√2/1) * (2/√3), which simplifies to √(2/3)*2. Thus, the side length is 2/√3 multiplied by √3/√3, which remains 2 .
Calculate the midpoints of sides AB, BC, CD, DA. Midpoints are M1((A+B)/2), M2, M3, M4, respectively. Verify that opposite sides have equal midpoints and diagonals bisect each other. Compute examples to confirm position equality: segment and midpoint equations between M2 to M3 and M1 to M4, likewise prove using equality of these diagonals for colinearity and linear symmetry via midpoint insights indeed, symmetry conclusive .
For a line Ax + By + C = 0 and a point (x₁, y₁), the perpendicular distance d is |Ax₁ + By₁ + C| / √(A² + B²). For line y = 2x + 1, rewrite as 2x - y + 1 = 0 (A=2, B=-1, C=1). Substitute (1, -2) into |2(1) - 1(-2) + 1| / √(2² + (-1)²) = |2 + 2 + 1| / √5 = 5/√5 = √5. Thus, the distance is √5 .
To find the intersection point, solve the system of equations: 2x - y + 3 = 0 and x + 2y - 4 = 0. Substitute x = 4 - 2y from the second equation into the first, giving 2(4 - 2y) - y + 3 = 0, simplifying to 8 - 4y - y + 3 = 0, or 11 = 5y, so y = 11/5. Substitute y back into x + 2y = 4 to get x + 2(11/5) = 4, or x = 4 - 22/5, resulting in x = -2/5. Thus, the intersection point is (-2/5, 11/5).
Evaluate the line equation 3x - 4y = 8 for each point. For (3,4), substitute into the line equation to get 3(3) - 4(4) = 9 - 16 = -7. For (2,-6), substitute to get 3(2) - 4(-6) = 6 + 24 = 30. Since the signs of the results (-7 and 30) are different, the points are on opposite sides of the line .
