Square EFGH is drawn on a coordinate plane. Diagonal FH is on the line y − 3 = negative one third(x + 9). What is the slope of the diagonal GE?

A. -1/3
B. 1/3
C. -3
D. 3

Option D: 3 is the slope of the diagonal GE

Explanation:

Given that EFGH is a square drawn on a coordinate plane.

Diagonal FH is on the line

We need to determine the slope of the diagonal GE.

Since, EFGH is a square and FH and GE are diagonals of the square.

The diagonals FH and GE are perpendicular to each other.

Thus, the slope of GE can be determined using the formula,

where is the slope of FH and is the slope of GE

From the line , the slope is given by

Let us substitute the slope in the formula, we get,

Multiplying both sides by , we have,

Thus, the slope of the diagonal GE is 3

Therefore, Option D is the correct answer.

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)

hello :

by applying the distributive property :

6 × 4.3 = 6 × ( 4 + 0.3 )

            =   (6 ×   4) + (6 ×   0.3)

            = 24 + 1.8

6 × 4.3 = 25.8
