Hello there!

A positive slope is represented in a linear equation by a positive coefficient behind the x term. A positive slope means that the graph is on an increasing interval as x approaches +∞. In a more simple way, a positive slope means that the graph is going up from left to right.

A negative slope is represented in a linear equation by a negative coefficient behind the x term. A negative slope means that the graph is on a decreasing interval as x approaches +∞. In a more simple way, a negative slope means that the graph is going down from left to right.

The x intercept(s) of a graph are where the graph touches the x-axis. These are also known as the zero(s) OR solution(s) of the function.

The y intercept(s) of a graph are where the graph touches the y-axis.

I hope this helps!
Best wishes:)

Answer:

Q1) x = 17.3

y = 8.7

Q2) d = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1

Angle = 60°

Hypotenuse = x

Adjacent = y

Opposite = 15

Step 1: Find x

Sin (angle) = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin (60°) = 15/x

x = 10√3 = 17.3

Step 2: Find y

Tan (angle) = opposite/adjacent

Tan (60°) = 15/y

y = 5√3 = 8.7

Question 2

Step 1: Find the diagonal of the base

c² = a²+b²

c² = 6² + 10²

c = 2√34 = 11.7

Step 2: Find diagonal d

c² = a² + b²

d² = 11.7² + 15²

d = 19

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP!!! Using the given equation find the missing coordinates of the points and then find the slope of the line fo

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:A.

Slope =

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation of the line as .

A. The co-ordinate is given by

Substituting the value , we get,

implies implies i.e. 3x = -1 i.e.

Thus, the co-ordinate is .

B. The co-ordinate is given by

Substituting the value , we get,

implies implies i.e. 9y = 0 i.e. y= 0

Thus, the co-ordinate is .

Since, the slope of a line is given by .

We get,

Slope = .

i.e. Slope = .

Hence, the slope of the line is .

Help me please giving more than 5 points!

Scilla [17]

To find the median you need to lay out all the answers by lowest to highest. Then, you’ll need to find the number that’s in the middle and that’s the median. However, if there’s 2 middle numbers you’ll need to add them then divide it by 2 and that’s the median.
