Prove that the quadrilateral whose vertices are I(-2,3), J(2,6), K(7,6), and L(3, 3) is a rhombus.

I think in these problems the first step is to express each side as a vector.  A vector is the difference between points.  When two sides have the same vector (or negatives) it means they're parallel and congruent.  So in a rhombus IJKL the vectors IJ and LK should be the same, as should JK and IL.  That much assures a parallelogram; we check IJ and JK are congruent to complete the crowing of the rhombus.

Let's calculate these vectors:

IJ = J - I = (2,6) - (-2,3) = (2 - -2, 6 - 3) = (4, 3)

LK = K - L = (7, 6) - (3, 3) = (4, 3)

IJ = LK, so far so good

(Note: If you haven't got to vectors yet you can just show the two sides are the same length, 5, and have the same slope, 3/4, both of which can be read off the vectors.)

JK = K - J = (7,6) - (2,6) = (5,0)

IL = L - I = (3, 3) - (-2, 3)  = (5, 0)

Those are the same too.    

Now we have to show IJ ≅ JK

The length of IJ is the cliche √4²+3² = 5, the same as JK, so IJ ≅ JK

We showed all four sides are congruent and we have two pair of parallel sides, so we have a rhombus.

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

answer:

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this you!
