Find the slope of the line through the points (-2, 5) and (3, -16)

Mathematics

lianna [129]3 years ago

Hello!

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>Lesson: Exploring Slope and Slope-intercept form</u></h2>

Slope formula: \frac{Y^2-Y^1}{X^2-X^1}=\frac{rise}{run}

\frac{(-16)-5=-21}{3-(-2)=3+2=5}=\frac{-21}{5}=-\frac{21}{5}

<u><em>Therefore, the slope is -21/5</em></u>

<u><em>Answer is -21/5</em></u>

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

-Charlie

Have a great day!

Otrada [13]

Answer:

234.784 ~ 235

Step-by-step explanation:

One side = 210

other side = 105

a2+b2 = c2

210 ^2 + 105 ^2 = c2

55125 = c ^2

c = \sqrt{55125} = 234.784 ~ 235

hope its right!!!

A square dartboard contains a red square and a blue square that overlap. A dart hits a random point on the board.
FinnZ [79.3K]
They want to know the probability of landing in the blue and red section at the same time. In other words, they want to know the probability of landing in the purple section.

We'll need the area of the purple square. This square is 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches. This is because 4 - 2.5 = 1.5

So the purple square has an area of 1.5*1.5 = 2.25 square inches

Divide this over the total area of the largest square (which is 9x9) to get 2.25/81 = 0.02777... where the 7's go on forever

Round that to two decimal places. The final answer is 0.03

Side note: 2.25/81 is equivalent to the reduced fraction 1/36 (express 2.25/81 as 225/8100 and then divide both parts by the GCF 225)

The total surface area of a cuboid is 112cm^2. find the value of x. values given: 10cm and 2cm.
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

x= 5.6

Step-by-step explanation:

we will need to put the information we currently have into an equation:

10•2•x= 112

then multiply 10•2 which equals 20...then the equation wil turn out like this:

20•x=112

now you will isolate the x... but how?? dividing 20 by itslef.. cancelling it out, and if you do one thing to the other side of the equation, you have to do it to the other...

20/20•x=112/20

you will end up with x= 122/20

you can use a calculator for this step, but  to practice long division... (check the screen shot thingie)

hope this helped !! ^^

In a system of linear equations in two​ variables, if the graphs of the equations are the​ same, the equations are (blank) equat
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when a consistent system has infinite solutions, then the graphs of the equations are exactly the same. In other words, these equations are called dependent equations.

All points of dependent equations share the same slope and same y-intercept.

For example,

6x-2y = 18

9x-3y=27

represent the dependent equations.

Writing both equations in slope-intercept form

y=mx+c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

Now

6x-2y=18

2y = 6x-18

Divide both sides by 2

y = 3x - 9

Thus, the slope = 3 and y-intercept = b = -9

now

9x-3y=27

3y = 9x-27

Divide both sides by 3

y = 3x - 9

Thus, the slope = 3 and y-intercept = b = -9

Therefore, both equations have the same slope and y-intercept. Their graphs are the same. Hence, they are called dependent equations.
