The total length of a line segment is the sum of the lengths of its parts.

MQ = MK + KQ . . . . . . express the relationship between the segments

15 in = 7 in + KQ . . . . . fill in the given information

(15 - 7) in = KQ . . . . . . .subtract 7 in

KQ = 8 in . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

The measurement of KQ is 8 inches.

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

8/9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to find a slope is y2-y1/x2-x1=m. (m is the slope)

174-166/173-164

8/9

So the slope is 8/9.

Find the gradient and the intercept shown by the straight line 2x + 3y = 6

sveta [45]

Answer:

$\sf gradient =\dfrac{-2}{3}\\\\ y -intercept = 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Equation of the line in slope intercept form:</h2>

$\sf \boxed{\bf y = mx +b}$

Here m is the slope or gradient and b is the y-intercept.

Write the given equation in slope-intercept form.

2x + 3y = 6

3y = -2x + 6

$\sf y =\dfrac{-2}{3}x +\dfrac{6}{3}\\\\ y = \dfrac{-2}{3}x + 2$

$\sf gradient =\dfrac{-2}{3}\\\\ y -intercept = 2$

Answer:

d = 9.4

Step-by-step explanation:

d= $\sqrt{(3-(-5))^2 +(-3-2)^2\\$

d= $\sqrt{(8)^2+(-5)^2}$

d= $\sqrt{64+25}$

d= $\sqrt{89$

d=9.4

Someone please solve this. no where is an answer to this

serg [7]

Answer:

a=-8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

(-1/2a-5)=3a+1

To find the opposite of 1/2 a−5, find the opposite of each term.

-1/2a-(-5)= -3a+1

The opposite of −5 is 5.

-1/2a+5=-3a+1

add 3a to both sides

-1/2a+5+3a=1

Combine-1/2and 3a to get 5/2a

5/2a+5=1

Subtract 5 from both side

5/2a=1-5

Subtract 5 from 1 to get −4.

5/2a=-4

Multiply both sides by 2/5 =0.4, the reciprocal of 5/2=2.5.

a=-4x(2/5)

express -4x(2/5)=1.6 as single fraction.

a= -4x2/5

Multiply −4 and 2 to get −8.

a=-8/5

Fraction −8/5 ≈−1.6 can be rewritten as −8/5 =−1.6 by extracting the negative sign.

a=-8/5
