The slope of given line in simplified form is 4

Further explanation:

Slope is defined as the steepness of any line.

Given

(x1,y1) = (-26,-37)

(x2,y2) = (-32,-61)

The formula of slope is given by:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Putting the values

$m=\frac{-61-(-37)}{-32-(-26)}\\=\frac{-61+37}{-32+26}\\=\frac{-24}{-6}\\=4$

The slope of given line in simplified form is 4

Satellite dishes are shaped like parabolas to optimally revive signals. The cross section of a satellite dish can be modeled by

Anna11 [10]

The cross section of the satellite dish is an illustration of a quadratic function

The quadratic function that models the cross-section is y = 1/6(x^2 - 9)

<h3>How to determie the equation of the cross-section?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Width = 6 feet

Depth = 1.5 feet

Express the width the sum of two equal numbers

Width = 3 + 3

The above means that, the equation of the cross section passes through the x-axis at:

x = -3 and 3

So, we have:

y = a(x - 3) * (x + 3)

Express as the difference of two squares

y = a(x^2 - 9)

The depth is 1.5.

This is represented as: (x,y) =(0,-1.5)

So, we have:

-1.5 = a(0^2 - 9)

Evaluate the exponent

-1.5 = -9a

Divide both sides by -9

a = 1/6

Substitute 1/6 for a in y = a(x^2 - 9)

y = 1/6(x^2 - 9)

Hence, the quadratic function that models the cross-section is y = 1/6(x^2 - 9)

Dave is comparing the circumferences of several trees in his yard. The oak tree is 0.539 meters in circumference, the ash tree h

stepan [7]

Answer: c. elm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The circumference of the oak tree= 0.539 meters

= $0.539\times100=53.9\text{ cm}$ [∵ 1 m = 100 cm] (1)

The circumference of the ash tree= 0.509 yards

$=0.509\times3\text{ feet}$ [∵ 1 yard = 3 feet]

$=0.509\times3\times 30.48\text{ cm}$ [∵ 1 foot = 30.48 cm]

$=46.54296\approx46.54\text{ cm}$ (2)

The circumference of the elm tree = 6281.70 millimeters

$=\dfrac{6281.70}{10}=628.17\text{ cm}$ (3)

The circumference of the poplar tree = 0.000385 miles

$=0.000385 \times5280\text{ feet}$ [∵ 1 mile = 5280 feet]

$=0.000385 \times5280\times30.48\text{ feet}$ [∵ 1 foot = 30.48 cm]

$=61.959744\approx61.96\ \text{ cm}$ (4)

From (1) , (2) , (3 ) and (4) it is clear that

46.54< 53.9 < 61.96 < 628.17

Hence, the elm tree has the greatest circumference.
