What is the slope of the line that had that equation 4x+2y=12

Mathematics
1 answer:
Naddik [55]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

<h2>- 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of an equation of a line:

y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the equation of a line in the standard form

Ax+By=C

Convert to the slope-intercept form:

4x+2y=12            <em>subtract 4x from both sides</em>

2y=-4x+12         <em>divide both sides by 2</em>

y=-2x+6

Therefore the slope is equal to -2.

Other method:

If we have the equation of a line in standard form Ax + By = C

or in general form Ax + By + C = 0, then the formula of a slope is

m=-\dfrac{A}{B}

We have A = 4 and B = 2. Substitute:

m=-\dfrac{4}{2}=-2

20 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST!!! Three dentists wanted to compare the ages of their patients. They each calculated their patients’ me
LenKa [72]
Hello,

Looking at the data, you should go with the second and fourth results.

On the second one, Dr. Appiah's M.A.D. is only 9.7 which is less than Dr. Singh's M.A.D. of 14.1

On the fourth one, Dr. Cantwell and Dr. Singh both have a M.A.D. that is only 0.1 from 14, so their ages vary by about the same amount.

Best of luck,

In the figure below, mZ1=(x +48) and m2 2=2xº.<br> Find the angle measures.
NARA [144]
Since m < 1 and m < 2 are complementary angles wherein the measure of their angles add up to 90°, we can establish the following equation:

m < 1 + m < 2 = 90°
x° + 48° + 2x° = 90°

Combine like terms:
48° + 3x° = 90°

Subtract 48° from both sides:

48° - 48° + 3x° = 90° - 48°

3x = 42°

Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x:

3x/3 = 42/3

x = 14°

Plug in the value of x into the equation to fins m< 1 and m < 2:

m < 1 + m < 2 = 90°
(14° + 48°) + 2(14)° = 90°
62° + 28° = 90°

90° = 90° (True statement)

Therefore:

m < 1 = 62°
m < 2 = 28°

I need to know How do I find ab?
Ludmilka [50]
The angle is called an hypotenuse and to find it just use the Pythagorean Theorem which states a squared+b squared= c squared, does this answer your question or do you need more help?

Which of the following statements is true?
Ivahew [28]

The correct answer is C. A scalene triangle can be a right triangle.


This is because a scalene triangle is a triangle where all of the sides and angles are different from one another. This automatically tells us that options A and D are incorrect, because equiangular triangles have all 3 angles equivalent and if two sides were of equal length in the triangle, then it would not be scalene.


This leaves us with options B and C. An obtuse triangle simply has one angle with a measure greater than 90 degrees, and a right triangle is a triangle with a right angle (an angle that measures exactly 90 degrees). Scalene triangles can be both obtuse and right, as long as the side lengths and angles are not equal to one another. This makes option B incorrect, and option C the only correct option out of the four.


Your answer is option C.


Hope this helps!
