What is the slope of the line passing through (-3, 5) and (5, -3)?

1 answer:

5 0

Dy/dx, ie., the difference in y divided by the difference in x. If you have two points A and B, sort them in ascending order of x.

dx = 5 - -3 = 8 (x coordinates of B minus x coordinate of A)
dy = -3 - 5 = -8 (y coordinate of B minus y coordinate of A)

dy/dx = -1

So the slope is -1. The equation of the line is y=2-x.

0.007407 in standard form

Licemer1 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 0.007407 into scientific notation, follow these steps:

Move the decimal 3 times to right in the number so that the resulting number, m = 7.407, is greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10

Since we moved the decimal to the right the exponent n is negative

n = -3

Write in the scientific notation form, m × 10n

= 7.407 × 10-3

A right triangle has a leg of 11 cm and a hypotenuse of 17 cm.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

The answer would be the second option, 13.0 cm.

To find the missing length of the leg, you would use the pythagorean theorem and substitute your inputs in.

a^2+b^2=c^2
11^2+b^2=17^2
121+b^2=289
b^2=168
b=12.96
b=13.0 cm (rounded up)
