Answer:

D) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the following slope formula:

<em>m </em>(slope) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Let:

(x₁ , y₁) = (4 , 1)

(x₂ , y₂) = (1 , -5)

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

<em>m</em> = (-5 - 1)/(1 - 4)

Simplify. Remember to follow PEMDAS. First subtract, then divide:

<em>m</em> = (-5 - 1)/(1 - 4)

<em>m</em> = (-6)/(-3)

<em>m</em> = 2

D) 2 is your answer.

Find the measure of each exterior angle.
devlian [24]

Answer:

The answer is 137 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Add up the two angles you know already

93 + 44 = 137

Then you take that number and subtract it from 180 in order to find the other interior angle.

180 - 137 = 43

So angle LKJ is 43 degree

Now to find the exterior angle you take the missing angles measurement

Which is 43 and subtract it from 180 to get 137

the sum of the two trains is 723.5 mph if the speed of the first train is 12.5 mph faster than that of the second train find the
jonny [76]
First, let's see if we can rewrite this word problem a little bit more mathematically. We won't get to mathy or technical so no worries. We just want to look at it in a more straightforward way, if we can.

Train A's mph plus Train B's mph summed equal 723.5 mph. Train A's mph is greater than Train B's mph by 12.5 mph.   
So what should we do to solve this problem? Since we are dealing with two of something and we know the value of the two combined, it might make sense to start by dividing that value by 2.
723.5 / 2 = <em /> 361.75. If the two trains were travelling at the same speed, we would be done. Unfortunately, they are not so we need to think about this some more. 
Train A is going 12.5 mph faster than Train B. Let's rewrite.
Train A mph = 12.5 + 361.75 = 374.25  Okay, so Train A is travelling at a speed of 374.25 mph. So we're done right? Not exactly. We are asked to fing the speeds of BOTH trains. How do we find the speed of Train B? We have added a portion of the combined total to Train A. It seems to follow, then, we should probably subtract the same portion from Train A. What are we going to do? You guessed it! Rewrite.
Train B mph = 361.75 - 12.5 = 349.25 HA HA! We seem to have figured it out. Let's do one last thing to check our work. Let's add the two trains' speeds together. If we did this right, we should get our summed value of 723.5 mph
374.25 + 349.25 = 723.5
Pat yourself on the back! We did it!

374.25 + 349.25 =
