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

5. Louis has 21 coins in his pouch, how many nickels and<br> dimes does he have if he has $1.35?
PolarNik [594]
N + d = 21
0.5n + 0.10d = 1.35
5n + 10d = 135
d = 21-n
5n + 210 - 10n = 135
-5n = -75
n = 15
d = 6

Which recursive sequence would produce the sequence 8,-35,137,…?
vagabundo [1.1K]

The recursive sequence that would produce the sequence 8,-35,137,… is T(n + 1) = -3 - 4T(n) where T(1) = 8

<h3>How to determine the recursive sequence that would produce the sequence?</h3>

The sequence is given as:

8,-35,137,…

From the above sequence, we can see that:

The next term is the product of the current term and -4 added to -3

i.e.

Next term = -3 + Current term * -4

So, we have:

T(n + 1) = -3 + T(n) * -4

Rewrite as:

T(n + 1) = -3 - 4T(n)

Hence, the recursive sequence that would produce the sequence 8,-35,137,… is T(n + 1) = -3 - 4T(n) where T(1) = 8

Write 98 as the product of prime factors in ascending order
umka2103 [35]

to write 98 as a product of its prime factors we have to first find the prime factors of 98

prime factors are prime numbers by which the given number can be divided by.

98 we have to keep dividing it by prime numbers

98 is an even number so we can first divide by 2

98 / 2 = 49

49 is a multiple of 7 which too is a prime number so we can divide 49 by 7

49/7 = 7

7 can be divided again by 1

7/7 = 1

98 is divisible by 2 and 7

so 98 written as a product of prime factors is

98 = 2 x 7 x 7

A) The cosine rule can be used to find the value of x in the triangle below.
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

(the side required )² = sum of squares of other 2 sides - ( 2 × product of other 2 sides and cos(angle opposite side required ) )

x² = 12² + 15² - (2 × 12 × 15 × cos71°)

(b)

x² = 144 + 225 - 360cos71°

   = 369 - 360cos71° ( take square root of both sides )

x = \sqrt{369-360cos71}

  ≈ 16 cm ( to the nearest integer )

What is the equation of a line with a slope of 1/2 that passes through the point,(-2,5)?
Digiron [165]

y - 5 =  \frac{1}{2} (x - ( - 2)) \\ y - 5 =  \frac{1}{2} x + 1 \\ y =  \frac{1}{2} x + 6
