If AD is the altitude to BC, what is the slope of AD?

Mathematics

Answer:

Option (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

If AD is the altitude to BC, both the segments AD and BC will be perpendicular to each other.

By the property of perpendicular lines,

m_1\times m_2=-1

where m_1 is the slope of the line AD and m_2 is the slope of BC.

m_2=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

     =\frac{8+2}{3-7}

     =-\frac{5}{2}

Now from the given property,

m_1\times (-\frac{2}{5})=-1

m_1=\frac{5}{2}

Therefore, slope of altitude BC = \frac{5}{2}

Option (C) will be the answer.

A conical paper cup has a radius of 2 inches. Approximate, to the nearest degree, the angle β so that the cone will have a volum
dezoksy [38]
Volume = area of base *height 

20 = pir^2 *h

20 = 3,14*4*h

h = 20/12,56 = 1,59 rounded 1,6

- using the triangle formed by radius,the height of cup and the slant height of cup so we can writing that

tan ß = h/r so tan ß = 1,6/2 = 0,8

tan ß = 0,8 so ß = arctan 0,8 = 38,6 degrees so 39 degrees

Find the equation of the line that passes through both (5,1) and (8,-2)
Georgia [21]

Let f(x) = ax+b be the line that passes through both points.

We know that f(5) = 1 and f(8) = -2. So:

\begin{cases}5a+b = 1 \\ 8a+b = -2\end{cases}

Solving the system, we get that a= -1 and b = 6.

So the line is equal to f(x) = 6-x.
