A equals to 2.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

y = mx + c is the equation of the line and m is the slope and c is the y- intercept.

In the given equation, y = ax , a is the slope.

Slope A can be found by means of the formula, and using the points (2,4) and (-2-4)

slope, A = (y₂ -y₁) / (x₂-x₁)

Plugin the values as,

A = (-4-4) / (-2-2) = (-8) / (-4) = 2

So the value of A is 2.

Find the distance between the points 3,7 and 15, 12 on the coordinate plane?

lana [24]

$\text{Distance } = \sqrt{ (x_2 -x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

$\sqrt{ \left( 15 - 3\right)^2 + \left( 12 - 7\right)^2}\\\\\sqrt{\left( 12\right)^2 + \left( 5\right)^2}\\\\\sqrt{ 144 + 25 }\\\\\\ \sqrt{ 169 } = \boxed{\bf{ 13}}$

A triangle has an angle that measures 10°. The other two angles are in a ratio of 3:14. What

ivann1987 [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the measures of other two angles of triangle.

$\red{\frak{Given}} \begin{cases} & \sf{The\ measure\ of\ one\ angle\ of\ traingle\ is\ {\pmb{\sf{10^{\circ}}}}.} \\ & \sf{The\ other\ two\ angles\ are\ in\ the\ ratio\ of\ {\pmb{\sf{3\ :\ 14}}}.} \end{cases}$

We know that,

The other two angles of triangle are in the ratio of 3 : 14. So, let us consider the other two angles of the triangle be 3x and 14x.

Angle sum property,

The angle sum property of triangle states that the sum of interior angles of triangle is 180°. By using this property, we'll find the other two angles of the triangle.

$\rule{200}{3}$

$\sf \dashrightarrow {10^{\circ}\ +\ 3x\ +\ 14x\ =\ 180^{\circ}} \\ \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow {10^{\circ}\ +\ 17x\ =\ 180^{\circ}} \\ \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow {17x\ =\ 180^{\circ}\ -\ 10^{\circ}} \\ \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow {17x\ =\ 170^{\circ}} \\ \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow {x\ =\ \dfrac{\cancel{170^{\circ}}}{\cancel{17}}} \\ \\ \\ \dashrightarrow {\underbrace{\boxed{\pink{\frak{x\ =\ 10^{\circ}.}}}}_{\sf \blue {\tiny{Value\ of\ x}}}}$

∴ Hence, the value of x is 10°. Now, let us find out the other two angles of the triangle.

$\rule{200}{3}$

Second AnglE :

3x
3 × 10
30°

∴ Hence, the measure of the second angle of triangle is 30°. Now, let us find out the third angle of triangle.

$\rule{200}{3}$

Third AnglE :

14x
14 × 10
140°

∴ Hence, the measure of the third angle of the triangle is 140°.

Answer Yes, because you take the answer from 100+45 and subtract 3 to get to 97 and then you add 29 to make the 47 a 74.

At a high school, students can choose between three art electives, four history electives, and five computer electives. Each stu

V125BC [204]

Answer:

$\frac{^3C_1\times ^4C_1}{^{12}C_2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Art electives = 3,

History electives = 4,

Computer electives = 5,

Total number of electives = 3 + 4 + 5 = 12,

Since, if a student chooses an art elective and a history elective,

So, the total combination of choosing an art elective and a history elective = $^3C_1\times ^4C_1$

Also, the total combination of choosing any 2 subjects out of 12 subjects = $^{12}C_2$

Hence, the probability that a student chooses an art elective and a history elective = $\frac{\text{Total combination of choosing an art elective and a history}}{\text{ Total combination of choosing any 2 subjects}}$

$=\frac{^3C_1\times ^4C_1}{^{12}C_2}$

Which is the required expression.
