What is the slope of the line through (-9,6) and (-6,-9)

1 answer:

7 0

$\text{The slope formula:}\ m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\text{We have:}\\(-9;\ 6)\to x_1=-9;\ y_1=6\\(-6;\ -9)\to x_2=-6;\ y_2=-9\\\\\text{substitute:}\\\\m=\dfrac{-9-6}{-6-(-9)}=\dfrac{-15}{-6+9}=\dfrac{-15}{3}=-5$

Answer: m = -5

What is quadratic equaton?

Lera25 [3.4K]

A quadratic equation is an equation that includes a squared term. For example, 3x + 7 = 28 is not a quadratic equation as it only has x, whereas x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0 is a quadratic equation as it includes x^2. Quadratic equations also usually have two solutions, whereas linear equations (like my first example) only have one.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you would like me to explain anything more :)

densk [106]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the coordinates of the vertices after a dilation with a scale factor of 1/5 , centered at the origin.

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are rotation, reflection, dilation and translation.

Dilation is the reduction or enlargement in the size of an object by a scale factor (k). If k > 1, it is an enlargement and if k < 1, it is a reduction. If a point A(x, y) is dilated by a factor k, the new point is A'(kx, ky).

Therefore, if the vertices are dilated with a scale factor of 1/5 , centered at the origin. The new point is:

S(5, -10) → S′(1 , -2) T(10, -10) → T′(2 , -2) U(5, 10) → U′(1 , 2)
