In the given triangle, the slope of line BC is (C) -1.

<h3>What is the slope?</h3>

In mathematics, a line's slope, also known as its gradient, is a numerical representation of the line's steepness and direction.

A line's slope is how steeply it slopes from LEFT to RIGHT.

The slope of a line is determined by dividing its rise, or vertical change, by its run, or horizontal change.

No matter which two locations on the line you choose, the slope of a line is always constant (it never varies).

So, the slope of line BC:

Coordinates of BC are:

B: (-2, 6)

C: (4, 0)

Slope formula: m = y2-y1/x2-x1

Now, substitute the values and calculate as follows:

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

m = 0-6/4-(-2)

m = -6/6

m = -1

Therefore, in the given triangle, the slope of line BC is (C) -1.

A crew of highway workers paved 1/5 mile in 1/8 hour. If they work at the same rate, how much will they
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The easiest approach is to realise that one hour is 3 times longer than 20 minutes. The longer the time, the more they will pave.

215 of a mile, in 20 minutes, how much in 60 minutes?#

They will pave 3 times more.

215×31=615 of a mile

615=25 of a mile

You could also use the 'unitary method' where you find out how much they pave in ONE minute (divide by 20) and them multiply by 60 to find how much in one hour.

Look at what happens:

215÷20×60

=215×120×603

=215×3 ← exactly the same maths.

=25

Given: ∆ABC, m∠C = 90° CB = 8, m∠B = 38º Find the area of a circumscribed circle. Find the area of the inscribed circle.
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Circumscribed circle: Around 80.95

Inscribed circle: Around 3.298

Step-by-step explanation:

Since C is a right angle, when the circle is circumscribed it will be an inscribed angle with a corresponding arc length of 2*90=180 degrees. This means that AB is the diameter of the circle. Since the cosine of an angle in a right triangle is equivalent to the length of the adjacent side divided by the length of the hypotenuse:

\cos 38= \dfrac{8}{AB} \\\\\\AB=\dfrac{8}{\cos 38}\approx 10.152

To find the area of the circumscribed circle:

r=\dfrac{AB}{2}\approx 5.076 \\\\\\A=\pi r^2\approx 80.95

To find the area of the inscribed circle, you need the length of AC, which you can find with the Pythagorean Theorem:

AC=\sqrt{10.152^2-8^2}\approx 6.25

The area of the triangle is:

A=\dfrac{bh}{2}=\dfrac{8\cdot 6.25}{2}=25

The semiperimeter of the triangle is:

\dfrac{10.152+6.25+8}{2}\approx 24.4

The radius of the circle is therefore \dfrac{25}{24.4}\approx 1.025

The area of the inscribed circle then is \pi\cdot (1.025)^2\approx 3.298.

Hope this helps!

Describe the effect an increase in i, the interest rate applied to the present value, has on the monthly payment P in the formul
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

B. An increase in i, the interest rate, will create an increase in P, the monthly payment.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the formula for the monthly payment as,

P=\frac{i \times PV}{1-(1+i)^{-n} },

where P = monthly payment, i = rate of interest, PV = present value and n = time period.

Now, as i increase we get that (1+i) increases and so (1+i)^{n} increases.

This gives us that, \frac{1}{(1+i)^{n} } decreases and so 1-\frac{1}{(1+i)^{n}} decreases

Therefore, \frac{1}{1-(1+i)^{-n} } increases.

So, we get that as i increases , the value of P will increase.

Hence, option B is correct.
