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>

True or False!!!! The measure of a tangent-tangent angle is twice the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.
lozanna [386]

answer : False

The measure of a tangent-tangent angle is one - half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

The diagram is attached below

AB  and BC are the two tangents

By exterior angle theorem

 ∠3 = ∠2 + ∠4

So   ∠2 = ∠3 - ∠4

Now we find angle 3  and 4, we know when a chord and tangent intersect at a point then the measure of angle is one half of measure of intercepted arc

∠3 = \frac{1}{2} * arc(ADC)

∠4 = \frac{1}{2} * arc(AC)

 ∠2 = ∠3 - ∠4

 ∠2 = \frac{1}{2} * arc(ADC)  -  \frac{1}{2} * arc(AC)

∠2 = \frac{1}{2} ( arc(ADC) - arc(AC))

The measure of a tangent-tangent angle is one half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

Complete the square to rewrite y = x^2 – 6x + 2 in vertex form. Then state whether the vertex is a maximum or a minimum and give
worty [1.4K]
In order to complete the square, the leading coefficient has to be a positive 1, which it is.  Now we will set the polynomial equal to 0 and move the 2 over by subtraction to isolate the x terms.  x^2-6x=-2.  The rule now is to take half the linear term, square it, and then add it in to both sides.  Our linear term is 6.  Half of 6 is 3, and 3 squared is 9, so we add 9 to both sides.  x^2-6x+9=-2+9.  Simplifying we have x^2-6x+9=7.  During this process, and the reason for it, was to create a perfect square binomial on the left which will give us the x coordinate (or the h) for our vertex.  That perfect square binomial is (x-3)^2=7.  Now we will move the 7 over by subtraction and set the polynomial back equal to y to get (x-3)^2-7=y.  Our vertex, then, is (3, -7) and this is a min value since our parabola is positive and opens up like a cup that has a bottom instead of mountain that has a top.  And there you go!  Your answer is C
