What is the slope of the line that passes through the points ( −8,−1) and (-12,-2)

Mathematics
1 answer:
omeli [17]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope of a line given two points from the formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (-2--1)/(-12--8)

   = (-2+1)/(-12+8)

    =-1/-4

   = 1/4

Which of the following are based on empirical probability
Vikentia [17]

The empirical probability is Life insurance, Car insurance, and Mortality.

<h3>What is empirical probability?</h3>

The ratio of the number of outcomes in which a defined event occurs to the total number of trials, not in a theoretical sample space but in a real experiment, is the empirical probability, relative frequency, or experimental probability of an event.

Therefore the empirical probability will be Life insurance, Car insurance, and Mortality.

When two fractions are between 0 &amp; 1 half how do you know which fraction is greater explaina
oksian1 [2.3K]
 Example- 1/3 or 1/5, which is larger? If you divide 1 by 3 the answer is 0.33 If you divide 1 by 5 it's 0.2. Since 0.33(1/3) is larger that would be the answer.
sorry if I make this confusing.
basically divide the top by the bottom to see which is larger. Then compare the fractions.

From a point 100 m from a building the angles of elevation of the top and bottom of a flagpole atop a building are 54.5 degrees
AnnZ [28]

Answer:60ft

Step-by-step explanation:The height of the flagpole is approximately  

60

feet.

Explanation:

Always try to draw a diagram.

enter image source here

We know that there is a right angle between the ground and the building. Therefore, we can use the 3 basic trig ratios instead of the sine or cosine law to solve this problem.

Since the angle in the corner of the larger right triangle measures  

42

˚

, the top angle in this triangle measures  

180

˚

−

90

˚

−

42

˚

=

.

By basic trig ratios, we can find the height of the building with the flag pole on top, call it  

H

.

tan

˚

1

=

H

500

H

=

500

tan

42

˚

I would keep it in exact form until the last step.

We now devise an expression for the height of the building (without the flag pole). Call it  

a

tan

38

˚

1

=

a

500

a

=

500

tan

38

˚

We can now state that

h

H

−

=

h

≈

feet

The flagpole is  

60

f

t

in height to the nearest foot.

Explanation:

1) The flagpole is on top of a building.

2)Angles of elevation both measured from point  

500

f

t

from building

3) Angle of elevation to the top of building is  

38

d

e

g

4) Angle of elevation to the top of flagpole is  

42

d

e

g

The information above will provide us with two right angle triangles, one smaller one inside a larger one.

Both will have a base of  

500

f

t

.

The smaller triangle will have a base angle  

β

of  

38

deg opposite the  

90

deg, and the larger triangle will have a base angle  

β

of  

42

deg.

From this information we can find the heights of the building and the building + pole using the definition of the tangent of the two base angles  

β

:

tan

Then to the nearest foot the height of the flagpole is:
