In order to find the slope of line that passes through 2 points, use the equation slope=rise/run
rise = 5-(-4) =9
run = 2- 0 =2
slope = rise/run = 9/2

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

$\frac{25}{64}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Blue Marbles =5

Pink Marbles =3

Total =3+5=8

Probability of drawing two marbles with replacement

=P(First Blue Marble AND Second Blue Marble)

=P(First Blue Marble) X P(Second Blue Marble)

$=\frac{5}{8}X \frac{5}{8}\\\\=\frac{25}{64}$

Is 16x2 - 16x + 4 a perfect square?

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the completing the square method:

16(x^2-x)+4

=16((x-1/2)^2 - (1/2)^2)+4

=16((x-1/2)^2 - 1/4)+4

=16((x-1/2)^2) - 16/4 + 4

=16(x-1/2)^2

=4^2(x-1/2)^2

The product of two square is itself a square.

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

$125\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

In the right triangle ABC find the length side BC

we know that

$tan(62\°)=\frac{124}{BC}$

$BC=\frac{124}{tan(62\°)}$

step 2

In the right triangle ABD find the length side BD

we know that

$tan(33\°)=\frac{124}{BD}$

$BD=\frac{124}{tan(33\°)}$

step 3

we know that

The distance between the two boats is the length side CD

$CD=BD-BC$

substitute the values

$CD=\frac{124}{tan(33\°)}-\frac{124}{tan(62\°)}=125\ ft$
