a, b and c are the vertices of a triangle.
a has coordinates (4, 6)
b has coordinates (2,-2)
c has coordinates (-2,-4)
d is the midpoint of ab.
e is the midpoint of ac.
prove that de is parallel to bc.
you must show each stage of your working. worth 4 marks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use midpoint formula to find the coordinates of each midpoint.

(x, y) = (½ (x₁ + x₂), ½(y₁ + y₂))

The coordinates of B and C are given.

Coordinates of D:

(x, y) = (½ (4 + 2), ½(6 + -2))

(x, y) = (3, 2)

Coordinates of E:

(x, y) = (½ (4 + -2), ½(6 + -4))

(x, y) = (1, 1)

Slope of DE:

m = Δy / Δx

m = (2 − 1) / (3 − 1)

m = 1/2

Slope of BC:

m = Δy / Δx

m = (-2 − -4) / (2 − -2)

m = 1/2

Therefore, DE is parallel to BC.

y = 2x

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide each number in the sequence, you'll see that they all have a multiple factor of 2. each number in the series, and any other numbers which may continue, will be multiplied by 2. therefore, y is the next number in the sequence, and x is the current one, so, our formula will be y = 2x.

ratios represent a pattern or relationship that can be scaled.

equivalent ratios are pairs of ratios that represent the same relationship between quantities, and can be generated by multiplying or dividing both quantities in the ratio by the same factor.

in this lesson, students will use double number lines and ratio reasoning to solve ratio problems. by partitioning double number lines into proportionate intervals, students will build an understanding of equivalent ratio relationships as those that are generated by multiplying or dividing two related quantities by the same number. this lesson will build upon students' prior understanding of multiplicative comparisons, number line reasoning and equivalent fractions (while highlighting the difference between equivalent fractions and equivalent ratios); and will build toward future work in this unit on building ratio tables, and work in future grades in proportionality, scaling, and expressing and graphing linear functions.
