Finding the slope using two points, (5, -1) and (-8, -4)

The formula for slope is

\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

In this case...

y_{2} =-4\\y_{1} =-1\\x_{2} =-8\\x_{1} =-5

^^^Plug these numbers into the formula for slope...

\frac{-4-(-1)}{-8-5}

\frac{-3}{-13}

\frac{3}{13}

^^^This is your slope

Hope this helped!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find a slope using two points is:

m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\m = ((-4)-(-1))/((-8)-(5))\\m = -3 / -13\\m = 3/13

A painter took a digital photo of a 16-inch wide by 20-inch long painting to display on his website. The digital image is 2.5 in
xxTIMURxx [149]
The actual photo has an area of 16*20 inches, so 320 inches squared. The ratio between the digital and real photo is 16:20. On the other hand, the width to length of the digital photo is x:2.5. Cross multiply the two ratios and solve for x. 16/20*x/2.5 —> 20x = 40 —> x = 2. The width of the digital image is 2 inches, so multiplying the width times the length gives you a 5 inches squared area for the digital image. Answer: 5 in^2

Prove the identity.<br> tan(x − y) + tan(z − x) + tan(y − z) = tan(x − y) tan(z − x) tan(y − z)
Viktor [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

This is known as the triple tangent identity.  Start with the fact that the three angles add up to 0.

(x − y) + (z − x) + (y − z) = 0

Subtract two terms to the other side and take the tangent:

x − y = -((z − x) + (y − z))

tan(x − y) = tan(-((z − x) + (y − z)))

Use reflection property:

tan(x − y) = -tan((z − x) + (y − z))

Now use angle sum identity:

tan(x − y) = -[tan(z − x) + tan(y − z)] / [1 − tan(z − x) tan(y − z)]

tan(x − y) = [tan(z − x) + tan(y − z)] / [tan(z − x) tan(y − z) − 1]

tan(x − y) [tan(z − x) tan(y − z) − 1] = tan(z − x) + tan(y − z)

tan(x − y) tan(z − x) tan(y − z) − tan(x − y) = tan(z − x) + tan(y − z)

tan(x − y) tan(z − x) tan(y − z) = tan(x − y) + tan(z − x) + tan(y − z)
