Find the slope of the line passing through the pair of points and describe the line as rising,falling,horizontal or vertical

1 answer:

4 0

To find the slope of a line, we must find the change in y values divided by the change in x values, given by the formula y2-y1/x2-x1 and represented by the variable m. We use our values from the ordered pairs to compute the slope, as follows:

m = (5-1)/(4-2) = 4/2 = 2

Therefore, the slope is 2. Because the slope is positive, this means that the line is rising.

Hope this helps!

The net of a square pyramid is shown

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Option (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of a square pyramid is determined from the formula,

Surface area = Area of the square base + 4(Area of one lateral triangular side)

Area of the base = (Side)²

= 8²

= 64 cm²

Area of one lateral triangle = $\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})$

= $\frac{1}{2}(8)(8)$

= 32 cm²

Therefore, surface area of the square pyramid = 64 + 4(32)

= 64 + 128

= 192 cm²

Therefore, Option (D) will be the correct option.

Plutonium-240 decays according to the function Q(t) = Qoe^-kt

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

9990 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function with given values filled in can be solved for the unknown using logarithms.

Q(t) = 12 = 36e^(-0.00011t)

1/3 = e^(-0.00011t) . . . . . . divide by 36

ln(1/3) = -0.00011t . . . . . . take natural logs

t = ln(1/3)/(-0.00011) . . . . divide by the coefficient of t

t ≈ 9990 . . . years

IF 24 IS ADDED TO A NUMBER, IT WILL BE 3 TIMES AS LARGE AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY. FIND THE NUMBER

Romashka [77]

$x-the\ number\\\\x+24=3x\ \ \ \ \ \ |subtract\ 24\ from\ both\ sides\\\\x=3x-24\ \ \ \ \ \ \ |subtract\ 3x\ from\ both\ sides\\\\-2x=-24\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ (-2)\\\\\boxed{x=12}\leftarrow answer$
