What is the slope of the line through the points (2, 10) and (5, 8)?

The slope of a line is calculated by dividing the one y portion of the line by one x portion of the line. In this problem we have two points which can indicate us one portion of the y axis and one portion of the x axis. If we have two points of one line, then we can calculate its slope:
Point one (x1, y1)
Point two (x2, y2)
then the slope can be calculated as:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

So lets use our data:
Point one (2, 10)
Point two (5, 8)
then the slope can be calculated as:
m = (8 - 10)/(5 - 2<span>)
</span>m = -2/3
therefore the slope is negative and is -2/3

The sum of three odd consecutive numbers is fifty-one. What are the numbers?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

15,17,19

Step-by-step explanation:

Make an equation : x+(x+2)+(x+4)=51

Solve the equation:3x+6=51

3x=51-6

3x=45

x=15

Since x=15 then the second number is 17 and then 19

Apply the Pyth. Theorem:

c^2 = 3^2 + 7^2, or     c^2 = 9 + 49  =  58.  Thus, c = sqrt(58).

What is the value of a for the following circle in general form?<br> x2 + y² + ax + by+c=0
motikmotik

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x2+y2+ax+by+c=0

Step 1: Add -by to both sides.

ax+by+x2+y2+c+−by=0+−by

ax+x2+y2+c=−by

Step 2: Add -x^2 to both sides.

ax+x2+y2+c+−x2=−by+−x2

ax+y2+c=−bax+y2+c+−y2=−by−x2+−y2

ax+c=−by−x2−y2

Step 4: Add -c to both sides.

ax+c+−c=−by−x2−y2+−c

ax=−by−x2−y2−c

Step 5: Divide both sides by x.

ax

x

=

−by−x2−y2−c

x

a=

−by−x2−y2−c

x

y−x2
