Answer:

slope (m) = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope using the following equation:

slope (m) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Let:

(x₁ , y₁) = (-2 , 0)

(x₂ , y₂) = (0 , -2)

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

(m) = (-2 - 0)/(0 - (-2)) = -2/(0 + 2) = -2/2

m = -2/2 = -1

Your slope is -1, or Rise -1, run 1.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine which of the following give the measures of the legs and hypotenuse of a right triangle

kakasveta [241]

The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs:

$c^2=a^2+b^2.$

The hypotenuse is the side with the greatest length.

Check all options:

1. c=5, a=3, b=4:

$5^2=25,\\3^2+4^2=9+16=25,\\5^2=3^2+4^2$ true.

2. c=14, a=4, b=11:

$14^2=196,\\4^2+11^2=16+121=137,\\14^2\neq 4^2+11^2$ false.

3. c=17, a=9, b=14:

$17^2=289,\\9^2+14^2=81+196=277,\\17^2\neq 9^2+14^2$ false.

4. c=16, a=8, b=14:

$16^2=256,\\8^2+14^2=64+196=260,\\16^2\neq 8^2+14^2$ false.

5. c=17, a=8, b=15:

$17^2=289,\\8^2+15^2=64+225=289,\\17^2=8^2+15^2$ true.

Answer: correct options are A and E.

Vikki [24]

Answer:

$x = \frac{16}{21}\,m$

Step-by-step explanation:

El enunciado pregunta la cantidad inicial de cinta utilizada por Jennifer, la cual es la suma de la porción utilizada y la porción remanente:

$x = \frac{2}{7}\,m + \frac{10}{21}\,m$

$x = \frac{42}{147}\,m + \frac{70}{147}\,m$

$x = \frac{112}{147}\,m$

$x = \frac{16}{21}\,m$
