What is the slope of the line through (6,9) and (7,1)

1 answer:

6 0

Slope of (6, 9) & (7, 1)

To find the slope, we use the equation : m = y₂-y₁ / x₂-x₁

**Remember : m = slope**

Let's say that (6, 9) is our first set of points, and (7, 1) is our second.

If those are our first and second points, then we now know this :

x₁ = 6, x₂ = 7, y₁ = 9, y₂ = 1

Now that we know that, we can simply plug those points into our slope equation.

m = y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁

m = (1 - 9) / (7 - 6 )

Simplify.

m = -8 / 1

Simplify.

m = -8

So, our slope is -8.

M∠Q = m∠R = m∠S = 40 POINTS!!!!!!!

Answer:

∠Q = 89°

∠R = 123°

∠S = 91°

Step-by-step explanation:

It seems easiest to start by finding the measures of each of the arcs. The measure of an arc is double the measure of the inscribed angle it subtends.

arc QRS = 2·∠P = 114°

So, ...

arc QR = arc QRS - arc RS = 114° -41° = 73°

The total of the arcs around the circle is 360°, so ...

arc PQ = 360° -arc PS -arc QRS

arc PQ = 360° -137° -114° = 109°

∠Q = (1/2)(arc RS + arc PS) = (1/2)(41° +137°)

∠Q = 89°

∠R = (1/2)(arc PS +arc PQ) = (1/2)(137° +109°)

∠R = 123°

∠S = (1/2)(arc PQ +arc QR) = (1/2)(109° +73°)

∠S = 91°
