Answer:

undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points is given by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (9-6)/(5-5)

= 3/0

This slope is undefined

Answer: no slope

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this problem, we would usually use our slope formula but there is a faster way to solve this problem.

Notice that each ordered pair has the same x-coordinate which is 5.

Whenever you have the same x-coordinates, the line will have no slope.

That's because you must subtract the second y minus the first y over the second x minus the first x and you will end up with a denominator of 0 and you can't divide by 0.

Since any number divided by 0 is undefined, this line would be too.

If a line has no slope, it means that we cannot describe its slope using a number because the line is vertical and its slope is undefined.

Solve 6x^2 - 42 = 0 for the exact values of x

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The values of x are

$x=-\sqrt{7} , x=\sqrt{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$6x^{2}-42=0$

Solve for x

Adds 42 both sides

$6x^{2}-42+42=0+42$

$6x^{2}=42$

Divide by 6 both sides

$6x^{2}/6=42/6$

simplify

$x^2=7$

square root both sides

$x=\pm\sqrt{7}$

therefore

The values of x are

$x=-\sqrt{7} , x=\sqrt{7}$

Sound travels through substances as energy is transferred from one particle to the next. The diagrams represent the particles of

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Sound requires a material medium to travel , the sound through each medium through its molecules and particles present in it .Sound travels with some speed and it's speed depends upon the nature of the medium through which it travels i.e. upon density and transparently. Speed of increases with the increase in density and decreases with the increases in temperature . Speed if sound us maximum for solid then for liquid and minimum in gases because of it's large intermolecular spaces and low density.

When was geometric sequence discovered and who made it

lord [1]

Geometric sequences are mostly found in Book IX of Elements by Euclid in 300 B.C. Euclid of Alexandria, a Greek mathematician also considered the "Father of Geometry" was the main contributor of this theory. Geometric sequences and series are one of the easiest examples of infinite series with finite sums. Geometric sequences and series have played an important role in the early development of calculus, and have continued to be a main case of study in convergence of series. Geometric sequences and series are used a lot in mathematics, and they are very important in physics, engineering, biology, economics, computer science, queuing theory, and finance. It was included in Euclid's book Elements that was part of a composition of other math theories for people that became very popular because it was the first collection that showed alot of the main math theories together featured simply.

Find the distance between the two points in simplest radical form (4,6) and (-2,9)

MrRa [10]

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{9})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ d = \sqrt{(-2-4)^2+(9-6)^2}\implies d = \sqrt{(-6)^2+3^2}\implies d = \sqrt{36+9} \\\\\\ d = \sqrt{45}\implies d = \sqrt{9\cdot 5}\implies d=\sqrt{3^2\cdot 5}\implies d = 3\sqrt{5}$
