We conclude that the slope of the linear equation that passes through the points (9, 1) and (10, -1) is -2.

<h3>How to get the slope of the line that passes through the points (9, 1) and (10, - 1)?</h3>

A linear equation has the general form:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope of the line, and b is the y-intercept.

There is a simple equation to get the slope of a point if we know two points. For a line that passes through ( a, b) and (c, d), the equation for the slope is:

a = (d - b)/(c - a)

In this case we know that our line passes through (9, 1) and (10, -1), then using the above equation, we can see that the slope is:

a = (-1 - 1)/(10 - 9) = -2

We conclude that the slope of the linear equation that passes through the points (9, 1) and (10, -1) is -2.

Which of the following is not part of the Triangle Proportionality Theorem?

natka813 [3]

Answer:

A. AA Similarity Theorem . True

B. Two sides divided proportionally. True

C. A parallel line to one side of a triangle. True

D. A perpendicular line to one side of a triangle. False

Step-by-step explanation:

The Triangle Proportionality Theorem says that if a line is parallel to one side of a triangle, then it splits the other two sides into proportional sections.

Now, here the given statements are:

A. AA Similarity Theorem

TRUE, as the angles opposite to equal sides are equal.

And if lines are divided proportionally, both the triangles are Similar by AA similarity theorem.

B. Two sides divided proportionally.

TRUE,as the other two sides of the triangle are divided proportionally by the parallel line.

C. A parallel line to one side of a triangle.

TRUE, as the parallel line divides the other two non- parallel sides in equal proportions.

D. A perpendicular line to one side of a triangle.

FALSE, this part is not required anywhere in the given theorem result.

There are 35 students in a drama club two out of every five boys in the club are boys how much diamonds in the club are boys

andrew11 [14]

Given:

Number of students = 35

Two out of every five boys in the club are boys.

To find:

The number of students in the club that are boys.

Solution:

Two out of every five boys in the club are boys. It means, the ratio of boys to the total number of student is 2:5.

Let the number of boys be 2x and number of students be 5x.

According to the question,

$5x=35$

$x=7$

Now, the number of boys is

$2x=2(7)$

$2x=14$

Therefore, 14 students in the club are boys.
