Slope = (3 + 1)/(1 - 5) = 4/-4 = -1

answer
slope = -1

5 0

The slope of that line is -1. To find this you do the change of the y coordinates, or do -1-3, over the change of the x coordinates, or 5-1. You then get -4/4, which reduces to -1.

Identify sinJ as a fraction and as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth.

KiRa [710]

In the given right triangle, the trigonometric ratio, sin J has a fractional value of 5/13 and a decimal value of 0.39.

In trigonometry, for a right triangle, the sine (sin) of any angle θ is given as the ratio of its opposite side to the hypotenuse of the triangle, that is, sin θ = (opposite side)/(hypotenuse).

In the question, we are asked to find the trigonometric ratio, sin J, for the given right triangle JKL.

The side opposite to angle J is KL, which has a value of 3 units.

The hypotenuse of the given right triangle is JK, which has a value of 7.8 units.

Thus, sin J can be calculated as:

sin J = KL/JK = 3/7.8 = 5/13 = 0.39.

Thus, in the given right triangle, the trigonometric ratio, sin J has a fractional value of 5/13 and a decimal value of 0.39.

Triangle WXY has coordinates W(1, 5), X(1, 1), and Y(5, 1). Which of the following sets of points represents a dilation of trian

timofeeve [1]

The correct answer for the question shown above is the second option, the option B, which is: B. W'(2, 10), X'(2, 2), Y'(10, 2)
The explanation is shown below: As you can see, the original triangle has the following coordinates W(1, 5), X(1, 1), and Y(5, 1); the triangle must be dilated by a common scale factor, so if you analize the option B, you can notice that the triangle was dilated by a scale factor of 2.
