Answer:

<em>m is the slope of the line</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of a line</u>

The equation of a line can be written in the form:

y = mx+b

Where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. Both parameters define the behavior of the line in terms of it's increasing/decreasing trend, and where it crosses the y-axis.

As an example, let's consider the line

y =3x-8

Here, the slope is 3 and the y-intercept. It means the line is increasing from left to right and the point where it crossed the y-axis is (0,-8).

m is the slope of the line

A quadrilateral WXYZ contains wxy where measure of wxy=92 degrees. Once rotated 270° about the origin and translated 2 units up,

Marianna [84]

Answer:

C. 92 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the $\angle{wxy}=$ 92° which is one of the angles of the quadrilateral WXYZ

The quadrilateral is first rotated by 270° about the origin and then translated 2 units up, the new position of the quadrilateral is W'X'Y'Z'.

The shape of the quadrilateral is remained unchanged due to rotation and translation, so all the angles of the final quadrilateral W'X'Y'Z' is the same as the angles of the given quadrilateral WXYZ.

So, $\angle{w'x'y'}= \angle{wxy}$

By using the given value,

$\angle{w'x'y'}=$ 92°

Hence, option (C) is correct.

The diameter of an insect cell is 1.7 × 10–11 meter. Ariel wants to find the length of the radius of the cell. If she performs t

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

8.5E-12

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

Given That, The diameter of an insect cell is 1.7 × 10^-11 meters.

Ariel wants to find the length of the radius of the cell. Radius Is Half of the Diameter.

Thus, R = D/2 ⇒ (1.7*10^-11)/2 = 0.85× 10^-11
If she performs the calculations on her calculator is 8.5E-12.
