OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

ok so first plot the points

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

use that formula to find the distance between two points, let start with the first one, the distance between Point A and point B

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

So plug in

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

point A = (-1, 4) point B = (1,1)

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

\[\sqrt{(1--1)^{2}+(1-4)^{2}}\]

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

=13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 4+-6

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

can I see what you did?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did what you did but for y2-y1 i used a calculator to do 1-4 times 2

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

no, 1-4= -3 then you square that, you don't multiply it by 2

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

\[-3^{2}\] simply means you multiply -3 times -3

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

when you multiply a negative times a negative you get a positive so -3 x -3 equals 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ill try the next one umm lets see..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3--1+-1--4?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

Waist a minute, let's go back to the first one, AB, we forgot to square root it lol so the distance of point A and point B is \[\sqrt{13}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

13x13?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

and which one is that one you are doing right now?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

no, square root is the oposite of sqauring

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

square root: \[\sqrt{x}\] Sqauring or power of two: \[x^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3.60?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

yes, that is for AB right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, is that the answer?? Like for real??

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

yes, you can leave it as \[\sqrt{13}\] though if you want

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

Now the nest one point B and C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4+3=7?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

\[\sqrt{(-1-1)^{2}+(-4-1)^{2}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh yeahhh! I need to try again real quick

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

\[\sqrt{(-2)^{2}+(-5)^2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4+25

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

yes :) and then find the square root of that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{29}\]

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

yes now do CD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4+3?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

\[\sqrt{(-3-(-1))^2+(-1-(-4))^2}\]

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

\[\sqrt{(-2)^2+(3)^2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4+9??

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

oh so when there are two negative sings (-) to each other then those two negatives become positive so it 'd be\[\sqrt{(-3+1)^2+(-1+4)^2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 4+9

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

yes the square root of that is the distance between point c and point d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{13}\] ??

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

yes or 3.60

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

so you see how the distance between Point A and Point B is the same as the distance between Point C and Point D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are congruent?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

Now look at your graph, do you see the sides that are congruent?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

yes, opposite sides are congruents, so that means that the shape is a parallelogram

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so DA=4+25?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

\[\sqrt{29}\]

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

Now let's find the slope, which is rise over run

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

or rate of change

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

\[S=\frac{ y_{2}-y_{1} }{ x_{2}-x_{2} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x2?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

oops I mean x1 sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3 and 2??

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

Yeah but in a fraction so -3/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and thats my anwser?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

yes :)

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

No BC

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5/2?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

no it is positive 5/2

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

\[\frac{ -4-1 }{ -1-1 }= \frac{ -5 }{ -2 } = \frac{ 5 }{ 2 }\]

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

When you divide or multiply numbers with the SAME signs, the answer is positive, different signs, the answer is negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but we subtracted?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

-4 minus 1 is -5 -1 minus 1 is -2

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

yes but we only subtracted the numbers in the numerators with the numbers in the numerator and subtracted the numbers in the denominator with the numbers in the denominator

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

then we are left with a fraction, which is the same as division

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH YEAH!! I feel stupid ^.^ um so CD= 3/2?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

No, close but it is actually 3/-2 or just -3/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-.- that was my first guess. Then DA=5/2

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

\[\frac{(-1-(-4)) }{( -3-(-1))}\]

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

yes :) because side DA and side BC are parallel to each other ^_^

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

and so are sides AB and CD

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

they have the same slope because they are parallel

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are there any perpendicular?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

yes |dw:1416779619375:dw| A line is perpendicular to another if it meets or crosses it at right angles (90°).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont see any on the chart

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

oops my bad actually no a parallelogram DOES not have perpendicular lines see why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep ^.^ What about my diagonal slope answers? I have no clue at all

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

ok, just use the slope formula ;)

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

they are talking about the diagonal line between point A and Point C

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

can you visualize it? like look at the graph (not necessary though)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can see it..but what about it?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

just wanted you to know what they were talking about, ok so now just use the slope formula the same one we used to find the previous slopes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-8/0?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

yes, anything divided by 0 is simply 0 though

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

And can you see why the slope of the diagonal line between A and C is 0?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

it's because it's just a straight line...there is no rate of change

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh I heard that somewhere. Theres like a word for it though! and um.. BD=-2/-4

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

yeah it stays constant. and yeah that is correct :) it will become positive though because a negative divided by a negative is positive

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

Now look at your graph, try to draw the two diagonal lines

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

if you haven't already done so.

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

are the diagonals perpendicular?
