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

1 answer:

4 0

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

To help vegetables stay fresh longer, Liam’s family maintains storage near their home. The total volume of the root cellar is 95

Helga [31]

To help vegetables stay fresh longer, Volume of storage of 951 cubic feet is equal to 26.929 $m^3$

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that to help vegetables stay fresh longer, Liam’s family maintains storage.

Total volume of root cellar that is storage is 951 cubic feet.

Also given that 1 foot = 0.3048 meters

need to find the volume of storage in cubic meter that is $m^3$

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { As } 1 \text { foot }=0.3048 \mathrm{m}} \\\\ {\Rightarrow 1 \text { foot } \times 1 \text { foot }=0.3048 \mathrm{m} \times 0.3048 \mathrm{m}} \\\\ {\Rightarrow 1 \text { foot } \times 1 \text { foot } \times 1 \text { foot }=0.3048 \mathrm{m} \times 0.3048 \mathrm{m} \times 0.3048 \mathrm{m}} \\\\ {=1 \mathrm{foot}^{3}=0.0283 \mathrm{m}^{3}} \\\\ {\Rightarrow 1 \text { cubic feet }=0.0283 \mathrm{m}^{3}}\end{array}$

$\text { So } 951 \text { cubic feet }=951 \times 0.0283 \mathrm{m}^{3}=26.929 \mathrm{m}^{3}$

Hence volume of storage of 951 cubic feet is equal to 26.929 $m^3$

The question is how far is Port A from Port by the shortest route?

labwork [276]

Use the distance formula: d² = (x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²

d² = 50² + 80²

= 2500 + 6400

= 8900

d = √8900

= 94.3

Answer: 94.3 km

Explain how the identity property in the problem, 2/3 (1) = 1 (2/3) = 2/3, is the same with any rational number. ANSWER FAST PLE

Morgarella [4.7K]

First of all, the identity property of multiplication (which is what this is I'm assuming) is that the number 1 multiplied by any other number is that number itself. (An example would be 2 multiplied by 1, which would be two) So in this problem, this rule applies too, since 2/3 multiplied by 1 would be 2/3!

Hope this helped :)
