Answer:

- 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = y2- y1/x2 - x1

Given

x1 = -3

y1 = 5

x2 = -5

y2 = 6

Therefore

Slope = 6 - 5 /-5 -(-3)

= 6-5/-5+3

= 1/-2

= - 1/2

Answer:

Slope m=-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is m=dy/dx=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1), where index 1 refers to the first point (-3,5). The index 2 refers to the second point (-5,6).

We get:

m=(6-5)/((-5)-(-3))=1/(-5+3)=-1/2

Quadrilateral ABCD is similiar to quadrilateral EFGH. The lengths of the three longest sides in quadrilateral ABCD are 24 feet,
MatroZZZ [7]

The two quadrilaterals are given similar .

In any similar figure sides are in proportion.The second largest side of quadrilateral ABCD is 16 ft .Let the second longest side of quadrilateral EFGH be x ft. These sides will be in proportion to each other .

The second shortest side of quadrilateral EFGH that is GF will be proportional to the third longest side of quadrilateral ABCD that is BC

We can form a proportion with the proportional sides:

\frac{16}{x} =\frac{12}{18}

To solve for x we cross multiply

12x=(16)(18)

12x=288

Dividing both sides by 12 we get

x=24.

The second longest side of quadrilateral EFGH is 24 ft.

The equation of a line perpendicular to y = 3 and passes through the point (24, -56).
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line y = 3 is a horizontal line with slope zero (0).

We wish to find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = 3.  Such a line would be a vertical one.  Vertical lines do not have slopes defined (due to division by zero).

Thus the general form of the equation of this new line is x = c.

This new line passes through (24, -56).  Thus, x must be 24:  x = 24
