Jack and Jill are trying to find the slope of a line segment connecting two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). Jack uses the formula

m = y2 - y1 x2 - x1 . Jill mistakenly uses a different formula, but still gets the right answer. Which formula COULD she have used?

The correct question is
<span>Jack and Jill are trying to find the slope of a line segment connecting two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). Jack uses the formula m = (y2 - y1)/( x2 - x1) . Jill mistakenly uses a different formula, but still gets the right answer. Which formula COULD she have used? A) (x2 - x1)/( y2 - y1) B) (y1 - y2)/( x1 - x2) C) (x1 - x2)/( y2 - y1) D) (y2 - y1)/( x1 - x2)

we know that

the correct formula to calculate the slope is
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
then 
</span><span>if both numerator and denominator multiply it by -1
</span>
m=-(y2-y1)/-(x2-x1)---------> m=[-y2+y1]/[-x2+x1]
m=[y1-y2]/[x1-x2]

therefore

the answer is the option 
B) (y1 - y2)/( x1 - x2)

What is the surface area of a conical grain storage tank that has a height of 37 meters and a diameter of 16 meters? Round the a
jek_recluse [69]
The surface area of a cone is equal to the base plus the lateral area.

The base is a circle, and has a diameter of 16 meters.
The radius is always half the diameter, so it is 8 meters.
The area of a circle = πr², where r is the radius. π(8)² = 64π ≈ 201.06193
The area of the base is ≈ 201.06193.

To find the lateral area of the cone, we need to find the slant height.
Since the height, radius, and slant height of the cone form a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the slant height with what we are given.
radius² + height² = slant height²
8² + 37² = slant height²
64 + 1369 = slant height²
1433 = slant height²
slant height = √1433

The lateral area of a cone is equal to πrl, where r = radius and l = slant height.
πrl = π(8)(√1433) ≈ 951.39958
(there are other formulas which do the same thing, but it doesn't matter.)

Now we add the lateral area and base together to find our surface area.
201.06193 + 951.39958 = 1152.46151 which rounds to C. 1,152 m².

In maths, Distance is described as the quantity of space between two points, and further calculation can be defined as follows:

Given Expression:

5x + 2 = 30\\\\2(x + 5) = 30\\\\5(x + 2) = 30\\\\2x + 5 = 30

To find:

distance=?

Solution:

5\ days\ \begin{cases} & \text{ if } \text{before school 2 miles}    \\  & \text{ if } \text{after school x miles} \end{cases}

\therefore 5(x+2)=30\\\\

\bold{5(x+2)=30}\\\\\bold{5x+10=30}\\\\\bold{5x=30-10}\\\\\bold{5x=20}\\\\

\bold{x=\frac{20}{4} }\\\\\bold{x=4}

Therefore, the final answer is "4 miles".
