The coordinates of the vertices of △XYZ are X(−5, 5), Y(−3, −2), and Z(4, 0). The slope of XZ is __, the slope of YZ is __, and the slope of XY is __. △XYZ __ a right triangle because . -7/2 -5/9 -2/7 2/7 9/5 is is not no two of these slopes have a product of -1 two of these problems have a product of -1

Slope of XZ = -5/9

Slope of YZ  = 2/7

Slope of XY  = -7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is expressed as;

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

For XZ

X(−5, 5), and Z(4, 0)

Slope of XZ = 0-5/4-(-5)

Slope of XZ = -5/4+5

Slope of XZ = -5/9

For YZ

Y(−3, −2), and Z(4, 0).

Slope of YZ = 0-(-2)/4-(-3)

Slope of YZ = 2/4+3

Slope of YZ  = 2/7

For XY

X(−5, 5), Y(−3, −2)

Slope of XY = -2-5/-3-(-5)

Slope of XY = -7/-3+5

Slope of XY = -7/2

For two lines to be perpendicular, the product of their slope must be -1

Taking the product of XY and YZ

mXY * mYZ = -7/2 * 2/7

mXY * mYZ  = -1

since the product of mXY and mYZ is -1. this shows that line XY is perpendicular to YZ and showing that the triangle XYZ is right triangle

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
