Mathematics
1 answer:
Anika [276]3 years ago
6 0
For
|a|=b, solve for
a=b and a=-b

so

|a-4|=3a-6
solve
a-4=3a-6 and a-4=-(3a-6)

first one
a-4=3a-6
minus a from both sides
-4=2a-6
add 6 to both sides
2=2a
divide by 2
1=a

other

a-4=-(3a-6)
a-4=-3a+6
add 3a both sides
4a-4=6
add 4 to both sides
4a=10
divide by 4
a=10/4
a=5/2


a=5/2 and 1

Find the slope of the line that passes through the two points.<br> (12,-5) and (10,-4)
hichkok12 [17]

Given parameters:

First point  = (12, -5)

Second point  = (10, -4)

Unknown:

Slope of the line = ?

Slope is simply the vertical rise divided by the horizontal distance.

             Slope  = \frac{Rise }{horizontal distance}

Simply to find slope;

           Slope  = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}  }{x_{2} - x_{1} }

First point  = (12, -5), x₁  = 12 and y₁  = -5

Second point  = (10, -4), x₂  = 10 and y₂  = -4

Input the parameters:

       Slope  =  \frac{-4 -(-5)}{10 - 12}

                  = \frac{-4 + 5}{-2}

                  = - \frac{1}{2}

The slope of the line is -\frac{1}{2}
