Answer:

-1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope=change in y/change in x

Y-values: 8 and -4

X-values: 4 and 2

Change is the difference in position (subtract)

8- (-4)/(4-2)=12/2=6 = first slope

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slope

Which angle pairs are supplementary? Check all that apply
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

The pairs of supplementary angles are

∠4 and ∠3 , ∠3 and ∠6 , ∠4 and ∠5 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition of supplementary angles

When sum of two angles are 180° they are called supplementary angles .

As figure given in the question

∠3 = 90°

Thus

∠3 + ∠6 = 180 °

(By using Linear pair property)

∠4 + ∠5 = 180 °

(By using Linear pair property)

∠3 + ∠4 = 180 °

(By using Linear pair property)

Therefore the pairs of supplementary angles are

∠4 and ∠3 , ∠3 and ∠6 , ∠4 and ∠5 .

The equation below can be used to determine I, the am
arsen [322]

Given :

The equation below can be used to determine I (simple interest) on a loan as follows :

I=Prt ...(1)

P is principal, r the rate of the loan,  t is the length of the loan in years.

We need to find the equation to solve in terms of r. We can find the value of P.

Dividing both sides of equation (1) by rt. So,

\dfrac{I}{rt}=\dfrac{Prt}{rt}\\\\P=\dfrac{I}{rt}

So, P can be solved as : P=\dfrac{I}{rt}.

What is the first step in writing f(x) = 6x2 + 5 – 42x in vertex form?
atroni [7]
If we want to write the function in vertex form:
f ( x) = 6 x² + 5 - 42 x = 6 x² - 42 x + 5 = 6 ( x² - 7 x ) + 5 ...
First step is: C ) write the function in standard form ( y = ax² + b x + c )
