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

What is the value of x ?
zimovet [89]
Each angle of the triangle added together must be equal to 180, so 53+45=98. 180-98=82. So the top angle is 82, the value of x has to be equal to 180-82 which equals 98

Find m&lt;1.<br> A.30<br> B.35<br> C.40<br> D.55
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

m <1 = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of a triangle add to 180

Let x be the unknown angle

75+75+x = 180

Combine like terms

150+x =180

Subtract 150 from each side

150-150+x = 180-150

x = 30
