step-by-step explanation:

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is

hello,

elba writes the following proof for the theorem: if the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, the quadrilateral is a parallelogram:

elba's proof

1. for triangles aob and cod, angle 1 is equal to angle 2 as they are vertical angles.

2. ao = oc and bo = od because it is given that diagonals bisect each other.

3. therefore, the triangles aob and cod are congruent by sas postulate.

4. similarly, triangles aod and cob are congruent.

5. by cpctc, angle abd is equal to angle cdb and angle adb is equal to angle cbd.

6. as the are congruent, the opposite sides of quadrilateral abcd are parallel.

7. therefore, abcd is a parallelogram.

which is the missing phrase in elba's proof?

answer - opposite
