Find the slope of the line that passes through (2,21) and (84, -30)
Flura [38]

Answer:

-51/82.

Explanation:

Given two points (x1,y1)=(2,21) and (x2,y2)=(84,-30), we find the slope using the formula below:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Substitute the given points:

\begin{gathered} m=\frac{-30-21}{84-2} \\ m=-\frac{51}{82} \end{gathered}

The slope of the line that passes through the given points is -51/82.

Can anyone tell me what x equals in this scenario.<br><br> 3/4x=2x-5
Dvinal [7]

Hey There!

The answer to your problem is x=4

<u>Subtract 2x from both sides</u>

<u></u>3/4x-2x=2x-5-2x<u></u>

<u></u>-5/4x=-5<u></u>

<u></u>

<u>Multiply both sides by 4/(-5)</u>

<u></u>(4/-5)*(-5/4)x=(4/-5)*(-5)

What is the midpoint of QR. Q(2,4) and R(-3,9)
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The answer is

( -  \frac{1}{2}  \: , \:  \frac{13}{2})  \\

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

M = (  \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \:  \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )\\

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

Q(2,4) and R(-3,9)

The midpoint is

M = ( \frac{2 - 3}{2}  \:  , \:  \frac{9 + 4}{2} ) \\

We have the final answer as

( -  \frac{1}{2}  \: , \:  \frac{13}{2})  \\

Hope this helps you

Working together, Candice and Ximena painted a fence in 8 hours. Last year, Ximena painted the fence by herself. The year before
makkiz [27]

Answer: Time taken by Ximena to paint the fence alone  = 24 hours

Time taken by Candice to paint the fence alone = 12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Time taken by Ximena to paint the fence alone .

Time taken by Candice to paint the fence alone = x-12

As per given , we have

\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{x-12}=\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{x-12+x}{x(x-12)}=\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 8(2x-12)=x^2-12x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 16x-96=x^2-12x\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-12x-16x+96=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-28x+96=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-4x-24x+96=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x(x-4)-24(x-4)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ (x-4)(x-24)=0\\\\\Rightarrow x=4, 24

if x= 4

Time taken by Ximena = 4 hours

Time taken by Candice = 4-12 hours =-8 hours which is not possible. (time cannot be negative)

Therefore, x= 24

Such that

Time taken by Ximena to paint the fence alone  = 24 hours

Time taken by Candice to paint the fence alone = 24-12=12 hours
