(5, 7), (−6, −3)

Slope = change in y /change in x

M= -3-7/-6-5

M= -10/-11

M= 10/11

Slope is 10/11

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°, that is

∠ 1 + ∠ 2 + ∠ 3 = 180°

Given ∠ 1 + ∠ 2 = 134°, then

134° + ∠ 3 = 180° ( subtract 134° from 180° )

∠ 3 = 46° → D

What is the answer and how do you solve 21x^3/3x^−1

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

as written: 7x^2

perhaps intended: 7x^4

Step-by-step explanation:

As written, the Order of Operations specifies that the only denominator factor is 3, so the expression is interpreted as ...

$\dfrac{21x^3}{3}x^{-1}=\dfrac{21}{3}x^{3-1}=7x^2$

___

Sometimes grouping of denominator factors is intended, but parentheses are not written as they should be. If the intention is ...

21x^3/(3x^-1)

then the simplification is ...

$\dfrac{21x^3}{3x^{-1}}=\dfrac{21}{3}x^{3-(-1)}=7x^4$

_____

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

a^b/a^c = a^(b-c)

Fran works due north of home. Her husband Juan works due east. By the time Fran is 5 miles from home the distance between them i

lana66690 [7]

If I understood the question correctly, let's set the coordinates (5,5) from the origin (the home). To find the longer side of the triangle, (the distance between the husband and wife), we use A squared * B squared= C squared. 25*25=625, the square root of 625 is 25. So the distance between the husband and wife would be 25 miles. Therefore, one mile less than their distance would be 24 miles. To answer your question, Juan is 24 miles from home.

COMPUTE 3 ( 2 1/2 - 1 ) + 3/10

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

<h3> $\boxed{ \frac{24}{5} }$ </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathsf{3(2 \frac{1}{2} - 1) + \frac{3}{10} }$

Convert mixed number to improper fraction

$\mathrm{3( \frac{5}{2} - 1) + \frac{3}{10} }$

Calculate the difference

⇒ $\mathrm{3( \frac{5 \times 1}{2 \times 1} - \frac{1 \times 2}{1 \times 2} }) + \frac{3}{10}$

⇒ $\mathrm{ 3 \times( \frac{5}{2} - \frac{2}{2}) } + \frac{3}{10}$

⇒ $\mathrm{3 \times ( \frac{5 - 2}{2} ) + \frac{3}{10} }$

⇒ $\mathrm{3 \times \frac{3}{2} + \frac{3}{10} }$

Calculate the product

⇒ $\mathrm{ \frac{3 \times 3}{1 \times 2} + \frac{3}{10} }$

⇒ $\mathrm{ \frac{9}{2} + \frac{3}{10}}$

Add the fractions

⇒ $\mathsf{ \frac{9 \times 5}{2 \times 5} + \frac{3 \times 1}{10 \times 1} }$

⇒ $\mathrm{ \frac{45}{10} + \frac{3}{10} }$

⇒ $\mathrm{ \frac{45 + 3}{10 } }$

⇒ $\mathrm{ \frac{48}{10} }$

Reduce the numerator and denominator by 2

⇒ $\mathrm{ \frac{24}{5} }$

Further more explanation:

Addition and Subtraction of like fractions

While performing the addition and subtraction of like fractions, you just have to add or subtract the numerator respectively in which the denominator is retained same.

For example :

Add : $\mathsf{ \frac{1}{5} + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{1 + 3}{5} } = \frac{4}{5}$

Subtract : $\mathsf{ \frac{5}{7} - \frac{4}{7} = \frac{5 - 4}{7} = \frac{3}{7} }$

So, sum of like fractions : $\mathsf{ = \frac{sum \: of \: their \: number}{common \: denominator} }$

Difference of like fractions : $\mathsf{ \frac{difference \: of \: their \: numerator}{common \: denominator} }$

Addition and subtraction of unlike fractions

While performing the addition and subtraction of unlike fractions, you have to express the given fractions into equivalent fractions of common denominator and add or subtract as we do with like fractions. Thus, obtained fractions should be reduced into lowest terms if there are any common on numerator and denominator.

For example:

$\mathsf{add \: \frac{1}{2} \: and \: \frac{1}{3} }$

L.C.M of 2 and 3 = 6

So, ⇒ $\mathsf{ \frac{1 \times 3}{2 \times 3} + \frac{1 \times 2}{3 \times 2} }$

⇒ $\mathsf{ \frac{3}{6} + \frac{2}{6} }$

⇒ $\frac{5}{6}$

Multiplication of fractions

To multiply one fraction by another, multiply the numerators for the numerator and multiply the denominators for its denominator and reduce the fraction obtained after multiplication into lowest term.

When any number or fraction is divided by a fraction, we multiply the dividend by reciprocal of the divisor. Let's consider a multiplication of a whole number by a fraction:

$\mathsf{4 \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{4 \times 3}{2} = \frac{12}{2} = 6}$
