Answer:

QR = 14.00 cm to the neatest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle with < P = 90.

So QR is the hypotenuse.

< Q is the angle opposite to the line PR.

sin Q = opposite/hypotenuse = PR/QR

sin 40 = 9/QR

QR = 9/sin40

= 14.002 cm.

Find the slope between these two points: (3, -10) and (-2, -30). Show all of your work. what the answer

$\huge\text{$m=\boxed{4}$}$

Hey there! Start with the slope formula, where $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ are the two known points.

$\begin{aligned}m&=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\&=\frac{-30-(-10)}{-2-3}\end{aligned}$

Simplify.

$\begin{array}{c|l}\textbf{Solving}&\textbf{Reason}\\\cline{1-2}\\m=\dfrac{-30+10}{-2-3}&x-(-y)=x+y\\\\m=\dfrac{-20}{-5}&\text{Addition and subtraction}\\\\m=\dfrac{20}{5}&\text{The negatives cancel out}\\\\m=\dfrac{4}{1}&\text{Divide the numerator and denominator by $5$}\\\\m=\boxed{4}&\dfrac{x}{1}=x\end{aligned}$
