Answer: The required slope of the line GH is $-\dfrac{9}{7}.$

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the line GH contains the points G(-2, 6) and H(5, -3).

We are to find the slope of GH.

The slope of a line segment containing the points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by

$m=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}.$

Therefore, the slope of the line GH is given by

$m=\dfrac{-3-6}{5-(-2)}=-\dfrac{9}{7}.$

Thus, the required slope of the line GH is $-\dfrac{9}{7}.$

A square piece of paper has an area of x2 square units. A rectangular strip with a width of 2 units and a length of x units is c

vlabodo [156]

Let

x--------> the length side of the original square paper

we know that

the area of the original square paper is equal to

$A1=x*x=x^{2} \ units^{2}$

the area of the remaining piece of paper is equal to

$A2=x^{2} -2x\\ A2=120\ units^{2} \\ so\\ x^{2} -2x=120\\ x^{2} -2x-120=0$

therefore

the answer is the option

x2 − 2x − 120 = 0

Why kilogram is more appropriate unit than milligram?

Evgesh-ka [11]

Step-by-step explanation:

that question is fundamentally wrong.

"appropriate" completely depends on the situation and circumstances.

if we are dealing with a weight that a human can feel, lift and distinguish from other weights without any special tool, then we are usually using kg. because then we humans can "connect" with the case, and deal with every day numbers.

if we are dealing with tiny little quantities like dosages of substances in a pill or other medication, then milligram is more than "appropriate".

because then, as humans, we are still dealing with numbers we can understand. like tens or hundreds.

if we kept kg in such situations, we would have to deal with numbers like 0.000008 kg vs. 0.000021 kg, where we could not see the magnitude of difference right away.
