The first step is to find the slope. Use the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
The two points are (x1,y1) = (-1,5) and (x2,y2) = (2,-1)
So,
x1 = -1
y1 = 5
and
x2 = 2
y2 = -1
will be plugged into the slope formula to get...
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-1-5)/(2-(-1))
m = (-1-5)/(2+1)
m = (-6)/(3)
m = -2
The slope is -2
Use m = -2 and one of the points to find the y intercept b. I'll use the point (x,y) = (-1,5) ---> x = -1, y = 5
y = mx+b ... slope intercept form
5 = -2*(-1)+b
5 = 2+b
5-2 = 2+b-2
3 = b
b = 3
The y intercept is 3
-----------------------------------
m = -2 is the slope
b = 3 is the y intercept
Therefore y = mx+b turns into y = -2x+3 as the equation that goes through the two points
Answer:
2) d. 60°
3) a. AB
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Question 2</u>
ΔABC and ΔCDA are <u>congruent</u> because:
- they are both <u>right triangles</u>
- they <u>share one side</u> (AC)
- their hypotenuse are <u>parallel</u> (marked by the arrows)
This means the corresponding side lengths and angles are equal.
Therefore,
∠CDA = ∠ABC
⇒ x = 60°
<u>Question 3</u>
The <u>hypotenuse</u> is the <u>longest side</u> of a <u>right triangle</u> - the side opposite the right angle (the right angle is shown as a small square).
Therefore, the hypotenuse of ΔABC is the line AB.
Answer:
It's not a right angle.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
There's a second restriction on the problem. The Perimeter is 22 cm.
AB = 8
BC = 5
AC = 9.4
When you add these up, you get 8 + 5 + 9.4 which is 22.4
You may think this is close enough. In this case it is not. Either the perimeter has to 22.4 or the hypotenuse has to be reduced. Let us say it is close, but not close enough.
When you use other methods, you find out that the right angle is actually 90.4 degrees
7x + 45
(6x +42) + (x +3)= 7x + 45
