What is the slope of the line threw (-7,-2) and (-6,7)

Mathematics

miv72 [106K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line, calculate the distance between points with a ratio of vertical to horizontal distance. This is done using the formula:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Here the points are (-7,-2) and (-6,7). Substitute and simplify.

m=\frac{7--2}{-6--7}=\frac{7+2}{-6+7}=\frac{9}{1}=9

Find the equation for the circle with a diameter whose endpoints are (5,-3) and (2,1).
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation for a circle, we need to find the center and the radius.  We need to find the distance between the two endpoints to find the radius.  To do that, use the distance formula:

d = √(2 - 5)² + (1 + 3)²

√(-3)² + (4)²

√9 + 16 = √25 = 5

If the diameter is 5, the radius is 2.5

Now we need to find the center/midpoint.  Use the midpoint formula:

(5 + 2)/2, (-3 + 1)/2

7/2, -2/2

(3.5, -1)

Now that we have the center and the radius, we can make our equation.  Remember that the equation of a circle is: (x - x of center)² + (y - y of center) = radius²

(x - 3.5)² + (y + 1)² = 6.25

Hope this helps

Find the equation of the line through the points (−2,5) and (4,9).
3241004551 [841]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  2x -3y = -19

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the differences between the given points, we have ...

  (Δx, Δy) = (4, 9) -(-2, 5) = (6, 4)

The equation of the line can be written ...

  Δy·x -Δx·y = Δy·(x1) -Δx·(y1) . . . . . for point (x1, y1) on the line

  4x -6y = 4(-2) -6(5) = -38

Dividing by 2 gives the standard form equation ...

  2x -3y = -19

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The original equation 4x-6y=-38 satisfies the requirements of this problem. However, "standard form" requires the numbers in the equation be mutually prime (in addition to the problem requirements). That is, they must have no common factors. Hence, we must remove the common factor of 2 in order to have true "standard form."

Solve for x
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

x=130, x=-77.5, x=1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1st equation:

1/5x + 24 = 50

1/5x = 26

x = 26(5)

x = 130

2nd equation:

0.4x + 18=-13

0.4x = -31

x=-77.5

3rd equation:

3x - 5/6 = 1/6

3x = 1

x=1/3
