Anya found the slope of the line that passes through the points (–7, 4) and (2, –3). Her work is shown below. Let (x2, y2) be (–

7, 4) and (x1, y1) be (2, –3). m = x2-x1/y2-y1 = -7-2/4-(-3)= -9/7 The slope is -9/7 What error did she make?

M=y2-y1/x2-x1 not x2-x1/y2-y1, that is her error

Step-by-step explanation:

The points (-7, 4) and (2, -3) through which line is passing.

The equation of line passing two point is given as:(x_1,y_1)(x_2,y_2)

(y-y_1)=\frac{(y_2-y_1)}{(x_2-x_1)}\times (x-x_1)

(y-y_1)=m\times (x-x_1)

m = slope of the line

The equation of the line will be:

(y-4)=\frac{(-3-(4))}{(2-(-7))}\times (x-(-7))

(y-4)=\frac{-7}{9}\times (x+7)

Slope of the line = m=\frac{-7}{9}

The error made by the Anya was that she has used wrong formula.

m = \frac{x_2-x_1}{y_2-y_1} (Wrong formula)

Use your knowledge of similar triangles to explain why the construction in the image divides the line segment into equal parts.
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

This image show how to divide a given line segment into a number of equal parts by using a compass and  ruler. First, draw the line AB. Secondly, draw a line above and divide into 5 equal distances to make a line AC. Third, using a compass by getting the distance of point C and B to be equal in the distance of point A and D, also getting the distance of point C to A to be equal to point B and D, then to make the Line DB. Finally divide into 5 equal parts by compass.
