we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

in this problem we have

A(-1,3)\ B(4,-7)

substitute in the formula

m=\frac{-7-3}{4+1}

m=\frac{-10}{5}

m=-2

therefore

<u>the answer is the option A</u>

m=-2

The slope of line passing through the points \left( { - 1,3} \right) and \left( {4, - 7} \right) is \boxed{ - 2}. Option A is correct.

Further explanation:

The linear equation with slope m and intercept c is given as follows.

\boxed{y = mx + c}

The formula for slope of line with points \left( {{x_1},{y_1}} \right) and \left( {{x_2},{y_2}} \right) can be expressed as,

\boxed{m = \frac{{{y_2} - {y_1}}}{{{x_2} - {x_1}}}}

Given:

The passes through point is \left( { - 2, 2} \right).

Explanation:

The passes through points are \left( { - 1, 3} \right) and \left( {4, - 7} \right).

The slope of the line can be obtained as follows,

\begin{aligned}m &= \frac{{ - 7 - 3}}{{4 - \left( { - 1} \right)}}\\&= \frac{{ - 10}}{{4 + 1}}\\&= \frac{{ - 10}}{5}\\&=- 2\\\end{aligned}

The slope of line passing through the points \left( { - 1,3} \right) and \left( {4, - 7} \right) is \boxed{ - 2}. Option A is correct.

Option B is not correct.

Option C is not correct.

Option D is not correct.

he quadratic function h(t)=-16.1t^2 + 150 models a balls height, in feet, over time, in seconds, after it is dropped from a 15 s
olga55 [171]

Answer:

<em>The time it takes the ball to hit the ground is 3.05secs</em>

step - by - step explanation:

<em>In order to find height from where ball is dropped, you have to find height or h(t) when time or t is zero.So plug in t=0 into your quadratic equation:h(0) = -16.1(0^2) + 150h(0) = 0 +150h(0) = 150 ft is the height from where ball is dropped. When ball hits the ground, the height is zero. So plug in h(t) = 0 and solve for t.0 = -16.1t^2 + 15016.1 t^2 = 150t^2 = 150/16.1t = sqrt(150/16.1)t = ± 3.05Since time cannot be negative, your answer is positive solution i.e. t = 3.05 </em>
