You are given two points, (-1, 10) and (5, 8). You are required to find the equation in slope intercept form given the points. The equation of a slope intercept form is y = mx + b. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. By definition, slope, m, is the rise over run or the difference of y over the difference of x.  

m = y2-y1/x2-x1
Let us denote y2=8, y1=10, x2=5 and x1=-1 and we get
m = 8-10/5-(-1)
<span><u>m = -1/3</u>, a negative slope means it is rising to the left of the graph.</span>  

Since the slope passes the two points, it also passes the y-intercept. Choose one of the points, (-1, 10) and substitute it to y = mx + b.  

y = mx + b
10 = (-1/3)(-1) + b
<u>b = 29/3</u>  
<u>The equation now is y = -1/3x + 29/3.</u>

1) The supplement of 72° is 180°-72° = 108° . (bottom // with right secant)

2) (3z + 18)° = 108° ( in a para llelogram opposite angles are equal)
Then 3z+18 = 108 and 3z° = 90° → z = 30°

3) (3y)° = 108° (vertical angles) , 3y° = 108 and y = 36°

4) 3y = x° (corresponding angles) but 3y = 108, then x = 108°

(Mind you I am calculating the ∠ x, y, and z. To find the angles of the parallelogram replace x,y and z by their respective values

Clay and Clod thought of the same number. Clay divided the number by 7 to that number and added 14 to the result. He got 23. Clo

Clod would get 11, because the number they both thought of was 63

What is the area of this trapezoid?
slamgirl [31]
Area of rectangle in the middle = 12 * 9 = 108
Area of left triangle = .5 * 2 * 9 = 9
Area of right side triangle = .5 * 5 * 9 = 22.5

Total area = 108 + 9 + 22.5 = 139.5 square inches

Write the quadratic function in vertex form, then identify the vertex
34kurt

Answer:

vertex = (- 10, - 10 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a quadratic in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

To obtain this form use the method of completing the square.

Given

h(x) = x² + 20x + 90

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )²

h(x) = x² + 2(10)x + 100 - 100 + 90

      = (x + 10)² - 10 ← in vertex form

with (h, k ) = (- 10, - 10 )
