What is the slope of the line between the points (2,-1) and (5,-3)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ilya [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The slope of the line between the points (2,-1) and (5,-3) is m=-\frac{2}{3}

Therefore m=-\frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the line between the points (2,-1) and (5,-3)

To find the slope of the line between the points (2,-1) and (5,-3) :

The formula for slope is m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Let (x_1,y_1) , (x_2,y_2) be the given points (2,-1) and (5,-3) respectively

Now substitute the values of the points in the formula

m=\frac{-3-(-1)}{5-2}

=\frac{-3+1}{3}

=\frac{-2}{3}

Therefore m=-\frac{2}{3}

The slope of the line between the points (2,-1) and (5,-3) is m=-\frac{2}{3}

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The height of the rock formation is 45.02\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

tan(42\°)=h/50

solve for h

h=50*tan(42\°)=45.02\ ft

Complete the square x^2-10=16<br><br>​
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

(x - 5)² = 41

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the completing square form

- the form x² ± bx + c is a completing square if it can be put in the form

 (x ± h)² , where b = 2h and c = h²

# The completing square is x² ± bx + c = (x ± h)²

# Remember c must be positive because it is = h²

* Lets use this form to solve the problem

∵ x² - 10x = 16

- Lets equate 2h by -10

∵ 2h = -10 ⇒ divide both sides by 2

∴ h = -5

∴ h² = (-5)² = 25

∵ c = h²

∴ c = 25

- The completing square is x² - 10x + 25

∵ The equation is x² - 10x = 16

- We will add 25 and subtract 25 to the equation to make the

 completing square without change the terms of the equation

∴ x² - 10x + 25 - 25 = 16

∴ (x² - 10x + 25) - 25 = 16 ⇒ add 25 to both sides

∴ (x² - 10x + 25) = 41

* Use the rule of the completing square above

- Let (x² - 10x + 25) = (x - 5)²

∴ (x - 5)² = 41
