The lowest point in the United States is the Sierra Nevada in California. Its altitude is 300 feet below the sea level. Identify

the absolute value of the point. (Sierra Nevada).

Answer:

<u>300 feet</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of a number is defined as that number's distance from 0 (the origin) on a number line, regardless of direction.

In this case, the origin can be represented by sea level. Since the lowest point of 300 feet is taken by reference to sea level, it can be said that the absolute value of the point is 300 feet, since this represents its vertical distance from sea level.

Hope this helps!

A line has a slope of - 4 and includes the points (6,v) and (3,3). What is the value of v?

labwork [276]

Answer: v = - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since two points on the line are given, we use formula for slope.

Let (a,b) and (c,d) be two points on the line, the slope of the line is given by

m= $\frac{d-b}{c-a}$ .

Hence, using this we have

-4= $\frac{3-v}{3-6}$

Thus, we have

-4×(-3)=3-v⇒12=3-v⇒12-3=-v⇒v=-9

What is the solution to the equation x/2-4=6

-Dominant- [34]

<u>Answer</u>

x = 20

<u>Explanation</u>

Multiply the entire equation by 2 to get rid of the fraction.

x/2 * 2 = x

-4 * 2 = -8

6 * 2 = 12

Now, we have:

x - 8 = 12

To complete, add 8 to both sides

x = 20

Find the length of the chord made by 3x2 - y2 = 3 and y + x – 5 = 0.

MArishka [77]

Answer:

The correct answer is "9√2 units".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations are:

⇒ $3x^2-y^2=3$ ...(equation 1)

⇒ $y+x-5=0$ ...(equation 2)

According to the 2nd equation, we get

⇒ $y+x-5=0$

⇒ $y=5-x$

On substituting the value of "y" in the 1st equation, we get

⇒ $3x^2-y^2=3$

$3x^2-(5-x)^2=3$

$3x^2-(25+x^2-10x)=3$

$2x^2+10x-28=0$

On taking common, we get

$x^2+5x-14=0$

On applying factorization, we get

$x^2+7x-2x-14=0$

$x(x+7)-2(x+7)=0$

$(x+7)(x-2)=0$

$x+7=0$

$x=-7$

or,

$x-2=0$

$x=2$

Now,

The points are:

(-7, 12) = (x₁, y₁)

(2, 3) = (x₂, y₂)

By using the distance formula, the length of chord will be:

= $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

On substituting the values in the above formula, we get

= $\sqrt{(2-(-7))^2+(3-12)^2}$

= $\sqrt{(9)^2+(-9)^2}$

= $\sqrt{81+81}$

= $9 \sqrt{2}$ units
