What is the slope of a line that passes through the points (-2,3) and (4,-12)

Mathematics

Answer:

m = -5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for slope with the following equation:

<em>m </em>(slope) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Let:

(4 , -12) = (x₁ , y₁)

(-2 , 3) = (x₂ , y₂)

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

<em>m </em>= (3 - (-12))/(-2 - 4)

<em>m</em> = (3 + 12)/(-2 - 4)

<em>m </em>= (15)/(-6)

Simplify the slope:

<em>m</em> = -(15/6) = -5/2

-5/2 is your slope.

\text{Hey there!}

\bf\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}\leftarrow\text{is the slope formula}

\bf{y_2=-12}\\\bf{y_1=3}\\\bf{x_2=4}\\\bf{x_1=-2}

\dfrac{-12-3}{4-(-2)}\\\\\\\text{-12 - 3 = -15}\\\\\\\text{4 - (-2) = 6}

= \dfrac{-15}{6}

\boxed{\boxed{\bf{Answer: \dfrac{-15}{6}}}}\checkmark

\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}

We first must find the value of angle z.


Angle z = 90° - 42°


Angle z = 48°


We now use the sine function to find y.


sin(48°) = 35/y


y = 35/sin(48°)


y = 47.0971455362


We now round off to two decimal places.


y = 47.10


I hope this helps....

2logx=3-2log(x+3) solve for x​
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{-3+\sqrt{40+10\sqrt{10}}}{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

2\log x=3-2\log(x+3)\\\\Domain:\ x>0\ \wedge\ x+3>0\to x>-3\\\\D:x>0\\============================\\2\log x=3-2\log(x+3)\qquad\text{add}\ 2\log(x+3)\ \text{to both sides}\\\\2\log x+2\log(x+3)=3\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\log x+\log(x+3)=\dfrac{3}{2}\qquad\text{use}\ \log_ab+\log_ac=\log_a(bc)\\\\\log\bigg(x(x+3)\bigg)=\dfrac{3}{2}\qquad\text{use the de}\text{finition of a logarithm}\\\\x(x+3)=10^\frac{3}{2}\qquad\text{use the distributive property}

x^2+3x=10^{1\frac{1}{2}}\\\\x^2+3x=10^{1+\frac{1}{2}}\qquad\text{use}\ a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}\\\\x^2+3x=10\cdot10^\frac{1}{2}\qquad\text{use}\ \sqrt[n]{a}=a^\frac{1}{n}\\\\x^2+3x=10\sqrt{10}\qquad\text{subtract}\ 10\sqrt{10}\ \text{from both sides}\\\\x^2+3x-10\sqrt{10}=0\\\\\text{Use the quadratic formula}\\\\ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\a=1,\ b=3,\ c=-10\sqrt{10}\\\\b^2-4ac=3^2-4(1)(-10\sqrt{10})=9+40\sqrt{10}\\\\x=\dfrac{-3\pm\sqrt{40+10\sqrt{10}}}{2(1)}=\dfrac{-3\pm\sqrt{40+10\sqrt{10}}}{2}\\\\x=\dfrac{-3-\sqrt{10+10\sqrt{10}}}{2}\notin D

juin [17]

Answer:

From the level of high tide to low tide, it's 18 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the change in water level, we multiply the rate (3 ft / hr) by the time (6 hrs), obtaining 18 ft.

The water level changes by 18 ft.
