Consider following equation m=y2-y1/x2-x1 find slope

2 answers:

7 0

This expression is the one used to find slope. It represents the change in y-values divided by the change in x-values, which we get from coordinates.

For example, if you are given the points (-3, 7) and (2, 3) and asked to find the slope, you would use the form y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 like so:

7 - 3 / -3 - 2
4 / -5
-4/5

And the slope of the line of my example is -4/5.

This the definition for slope. M=slope.
Slope = rise/run or delta(y)/delta(x) which simply stands for change in y divided by change in x which is m(slope)=y2-y1/x2-x1

find the centre and radius of the following Cycles 9 x square + 9 y square +27 x + 12 y + 19 equals 0

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Radius: $r =\frac{\sqrt {21}}{6}$

$Center = (-\frac{3}{2}, -\frac{2}{3})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$9x^2 + 9y^2 + 27x + 12y + 19 = 0$

Solving (a): The radius of the circle

First, we express the equation as:

$(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2$

Where

$r = radius$

$(h,k) =center$

So, we have:

$9x^2 + 9y^2 + 27x + 12y + 19 = 0$

Divide through by 9

$x^2 + y^2 + 3x + \frac{12}{9}y + \frac{19}{9} = 0$

Rewrite as:

$x^2 + 3x + y^2+ \frac{12}{9}y =- \frac{19}{9}$

Group the expression into 2

$[x^2 + 3x] + [y^2+ \frac{12}{9}y] =- \frac{19}{9}$

$[x^2 + 3x] + [y^2+ \frac{4}{3}y] =- \frac{19}{9}$

Next, we complete the square on each group.

For $[x^2 + 3x]$

1: Divide the $coefficient\ of\ x\ by\ 2$

2: Take the $square\ of\ the\ division$

3: Add this $square\ to\ both\ sides\ of\ the\ equation.$

So, we have:

$[x^2 + 3x] + [y^2+ \frac{4}{3}y] =- \frac{19}{9}$

$[x^2 + 3x + (\frac{3}{2})^2] + [y^2+ \frac{4}{3}y] =- \frac{19}{9}+ (\frac{3}{2})^2$

Factorize

$[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y^2+ \frac{4}{3}y] =- \frac{19}{9}+ (\frac{3}{2})^2$

Apply the same to y

$[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y^2+ \frac{4}{3}y +(\frac{4}{6})^2 ] =- \frac{19}{9}+ (\frac{3}{2})^2 +(\frac{4}{6})^2$

$[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y +\frac{4}{6}]^2 =- \frac{19}{9}+ (\frac{3}{2})^2 +(\frac{4}{6})^2$

$[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y +\frac{4}{6}]^2 =- \frac{19}{9}+ \frac{9}{4} +\frac{16}{36}$

Add the fractions

$[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y +\frac{4}{6}]^2 =\frac{-19 * 4 + 9 * 9 + 16 * 1}{36}$

$[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y +\frac{4}{6}]^2 =\frac{21}{36}$

$[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y +\frac{4}{6}]^2 =\frac{7}{12}$

$[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y +\frac{2}{3}]^2 =\frac{7}{12}$

Recall that:

$(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2$

By comparison:

$r^2 =\frac{7}{12}$

Take square roots of both sides

$r =\sqrt{\frac{7}{12}}$

Split

$r =\frac{\sqrt 7}{\sqrt 12}$

Rationalize

$r =\frac{\sqrt 7*\sqrt 12}{\sqrt 12*\sqrt 12}$

$r =\frac{\sqrt {84}}{12}$

$r =\frac{\sqrt {4*21}}{12}$

$r =\frac{2\sqrt {21}}{12}$

$r =\frac{\sqrt {21}}{6}$

Solving (b): The center

Recall that:

$(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2$

Where

$r = radius$

$(h,k) =center$

From:

$[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y +\frac{2}{3}]^2 =\frac{7}{12}$

$-h = \frac{3}{2}$ and $-k = \frac{2}{3}$

Solve for h and k

$h = -\frac{3}{2}$ and $k = -\frac{2}{3}$

Hence, the center is:

$Center = (-\frac{3}{2}, -\frac{2}{3})$

I need help on how to do this!!!?

liraira [26]

Let's say you had a cake that is cut into 5 equal slices. Then someone eats 2 of those slices. They ate 2/5 of the cake.

Now let's say you have another cake that you cut into 10 equal slices. If someone eats 4 of those ten, then they have eaten 4/10 = 2/5 of the cake.

Check out the diagram below to see a visual of how 4/10 and 2/5 are equivalent fractions.

Going from 2/5 to 4/10 has us multiply top and bottom by 2.

-----------

Similarly, 1/2 = 5/10 after multiplying top and bottom by 10

The original expression 2/5 + 1/2 turns into 4/10 + 5/10

Then you add the numerators to get 4+5 = 9, placing that over the common denominator of 10

<h3>Answer: 9/10</h3>

Evaluate.

snow_lady [41]

Replace a and b with their given values:

(2(3/5) -1/3) / -6.75/15

2 x 3/5 = 6/5

6/5 - 1/3 = 18/15 - 5/15 = 13/15

13/15 / -6.75/15 = 13/15 x 15/-6.75 = (13 x 15) / (15 x -6.75) = 195/-101.25 = -1 25/27

Answer: -1 and 25/27

Tyler has two savings accounts that his grandparents opened for him. One of accounts pay 7 % annual interest, whereas the other

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

$400 and $1,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the x be the amount invested in 7% account

And, 600 + x be the amount invested in 9% account

Now the equation is

7x% + 9%(600 + x) = $118

0.07x + 54 + 0.09x = $118

0.16x = $118 -$54

0.16x = $64

x = $400

And, the other one is = $400 + $600 = $1,000
