Find the slope of a line given the following two points: (4, 3) and (5, 2). 1 -1 2 -2

1 answer:

7 0

Given two points; (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) the slope is:

m=(y₁-y₂) / (x₁-x₂) or m=(y₂-y₁) / (x₂-x₁)

In this case:
(4,3)
(5,2)

m=(5-4)/(2-3)=1/-1=-1

Answer: the slope is -1

If the volume of sand is increasing at a constant rate, is the height increasing at a constant rate? Explain.

AysviL [449]

It does not necessarily mean that the height will rise although I it could rise.this is because volume is what is inside your shape. It could spread out more and have more volume. If you think I'm smart let me tell you I'm only in 4th grade not bragging

A new car depreciates as soon as you drive it out of the parking lot. A certain car depreciates to half its original value in 4

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Original price of car = $20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the car be 'x' dollars.

Given:

Here, the depreciation of the car is occuring exponentially as the value depreciates to half in every four years.

Worth of car after 8 years = $5000

Value after depreciation in 4 years = Half of original value = $\frac{x}{2}$

So, value of car after depreciation in another 4 years = Half of the value after 4 years = $\frac{1}{2}(\frac{x}{2})=\frac{x}{4}$

Therefore, final depreciated value after 8 years is $\frac{x}{4}$ .

But, as per question, final depreciated value is $5000. Thus,

$\frac{x}{4}=5000\\x=5000\times 4\\x=20000$

Therefore, the original price of the car was $20,000.

Select the postulate or theorem that you can use to conclude that the triangles are similar.

insens350 [35]

Answer: SAS similarity postulate

Step-by-step explanation:

According to SAS postulate of similarity, two triangles are called similar if two sides in one triangle are in the same proportion to the corresponding sides in the other, and the included angle are congruent.

In triangles, QNR and MNP,

$\frac{QN}{MN} = \frac{QM+MN}{MN} = \frac{10+8}{8} = \frac{18}{8} = \frac{9}{4}$
