Answer:

The answer to your question is m = -5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Point 1 = (1, -6)

Point 2 = (-8, 9)

Process

To find the slope just substitute the values in the formula and simplify.

Formula

slope = m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

-Identify x1, y1, x2 and y2

x1 = 1 y1 = -6 x2 = -8 y2 = 9

-Substitution

m = (9 + 6) / (-8 - 1)

-Simplification

m = 15/-9

-Result

m = -5/3

G(x)=x^2-5<br> g(9)<br> help!

emmainna [20.7K]

You’re given g(x) = x^2 - 5

When asked to find g(9), you’re being told that x=9, since the x in the g(x) was replaced by 9.

So that’s telling you to put 9 in for all x’s:
g(9) = (9)^2 - 5

You then just need to clear up the right hand side.

9^2 - 5 = 81 - 5

= 76

So, g(9) = 76

Arc AB is One-sixth of the circumference of a circle. What is the radian measure of the central angle? StartFraction pi over 6 E

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

StartFraction pi Over 3 EndFraction

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The circumference of a circle subtends a central angle of 360 degrees or 2π radians

by proportion

Find out the central angle for an arc equal to One-sixth of the circumference of a circle

Let

x -----> the measure of the central angle in radians for an arc equal to One-sixth of the circumference

$\frac{C}{2\pi}=\frac{(C/6)}{x}\\\\x=2\pi(C/6)/C\\\\x=\frac{2\pi}{6}$

Simplify

$x=\frac{\pi}{3}$

therefore
