Find the slope for the pair of points (1,1)(4,-4)

Mathematics
1 answer:
wolverine [178]3 years ago
6 0
(1, 1) and (4, -4)

Slope formula is : m = (y₂-y₁) / (x₂-x₁)

In this case :

x₁ = 1 ; x₂ = 4 ; y₁ = 1 ; y₂ = -4

Now that you know what variable counts as what, we simply just need to plug everything in.

m = (-4 - 1) / (4 - 1)

Simplify.

m = -5/3

Therefore, your slope is -5/3

Use the formula for simple interest to find the interest rate if a deposit of $1400 earned $490 of interest after 5 years,
mario62 [17]
Given the simple interest formula:

I = P•R•T

where:
I = interest
P = principal
R = interest rate
T = time (in years)

We can isolate R algebraically to find out the interest rate:

I = P•R•T

Divide both sides by P•T:

I / (P•T) = (P•R•T)/(P•T)

The formula for the interest rate is:
R = I / (P•T)

Substitute the given values into this formula to solve for the interest rate (R):

R = I / (P•T)

R = $490/ ($1,400 • 5 years)
R = $490 / $7,000
R = 0.07 or 7%

Therefore, the interest rate is 7%.

Can someone explain major and minor arcs in relation to circles.
Lelechka [254]
A Major Arc within a circle is something that that is more than half of the circle, and therefore, larger than the minor arc. The way in which this could be used in an example is; Tony has a pizza with 8 slices, 6 of these slices are pepperoni and 2 are chilli beef. In this case, the pepperoni slices are the major arc and the chilli beef slices are the minor arc.
The Major Arc will always be bigger than the minor arc- whether this is 181 degrees to 179, or whether this is 350 degrees to 10 degrees.
The Minor Arc is always the smallest arc, and this can be explained by; Benedict has an apple pie that has 10 slices, between him and his friends, they have eaten four slices. In this case, they have eaten the 'minor arc'
There is a picture attached, and this is the examples of a major and a minor arc.
Hope this has been able to help you :)

P=s1+s2+s3 solve for s3
tresset_1 [31]

P=s1+s2+s3

Move +s1 to the other side. Sign changes from +s1 to -s1

P-s1=s1-s1+s2+s3

p-s1=s2+s3

Move s2 to the other side. Sign changes from s2 to -s2

p-s1-s2=s2-s2+s3

p-s1-s2=s3

Answer: p-s1-s2=s3

Evaluate -1-3-(-9)+(-5)
babunello [35]

To evaluate this expression, we need to remember that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number, and that adding a negative number is the same as subtracting a positive number. Using this knowledge, let's begin to simplify the expression below:

-1 - 3 - (-9) + (-5)

Because addition of a negative number is the same as subtraction of a positive number, we can change + (-5) to -5, as shown below:

-1 - 3 - (-9) - 5

Next, because we know that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number, we can change - (-9) to + 9, as shown below:

-1 - 3 + 9 - 5

Now, we can subtract the first two terms and begin to evaluate our expression:

-4 + 9 - 5

Next, we can add the first two numbers of the expression:

5 - 5

Now, we can subtract our last two numbers, which gives us our answer:

0

Therefore, your answer is 0.

Hope this helps!

Hugh bought some magazines that cost $3.95 each and some books that cost $8.95 each. He spent a total of $47.65. If Hugh bought
Klio2033 [76]
He bought 4 books.  

3.95m + 8.95b = 47.65

If he bought 3 magazines, m =3
(3.95)3 +8.95b = 47.65
11.85 + 8.95b =47.65
now we subtract 11.85 from both sides
8.95b = 35.80
we divide both sides by 8.95
b=4
Hugh bought 4 books.
