Beatrice calculated the slope between two pairs of points. She found that the slope between ( ( -3, 3 , -2) 2 ) and (1, 0) ( 1 ,

0 ) is 12 1 2 . She also found that the slope between ( ( -2, 2 , -1) 1 ) and (4, 2) ( 4 , 2 ) is 12 1 2 . Beatrice concluded that all of these points are on the same line. Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements about Beatrice's conclusion

Answer with explanation:

The Slope between two points (-3,-2)  and (1,0) is equal to \frac{1}{2}

Also, Slope between two points (-2,-1)  and (4,2) is equal to \frac{1}{2}

→To check whether ,all these points lie on the same line or not,just plot these points on the two dimensional plane and check whether they are collinear or not.You will find that ,these segments are parallel.

→The second method is, find area of triangle using any three ordered pair.if area of triangle is zero ,it means that these three points are collinear.

→Formula for Area of triangle having coordinates ,(a,b),(p,q) and (r,s).

 =\frac{1}{2}[a(q-s)-p(s-b)+r(b-q)]

→If two segments have same slope , it means they are parallel or may be coincident also.

Finding the equation of line passing through two points, (a,b) and (p,q).

y-b=m(x-a), where ,m=\frac{b-q}{a-p}

⇒Equation of line passing through (-3,-2) and (1,0), and having slope  \frac{1}{2} is

→2×(y-0)=1×(x-1)

2 y-x+1=0

→x=2 y+1

⇒Equation of line passing through (-2,-1) and (4,2), and having slope  \frac{1}{2} is

→2×(y-2)=1×(x-4)

2 y-4-x+4=0

2 y-x=0

→x=2 y

The two lines, have same slope but ,different Y intercept,that is 1 and 0,means lines are parallel not coincident.

So, Beatrice concluded that all of these points are on the same line is false statement.

Answer:

These points may or may not be on the same line.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first set of points is: (-3, -2) and (1, 0)

The second set of points is (-2, -1) and (4,2)

Slope of first two points is:

Slope=\frac{0-(-2)}{1-(-3)}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}

Slope of second set of points is:

Slope=\frac{2-(-1)}{4-(-2)}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}

The points are on the lines with the same slopes. But this does not guarantee that these points are on the same line as two parallel lines will also have the same slopes. In order to confirm the conclusion Beatrice need to find the y-intercept or the equation of the lines. If the y-intercept or the equation of lines is same in both cases this would mean that all 4 points are on the same line, else they would be on 2 different lines.

Answer:

Perimeter 182 cm, area= 2,028 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the given rectangle is

  2(6 cm + 8 cm) = 28 cm

The area of the given rectangle is

  (6 cm)*(8 cm) = 48 cm^2

The larger rectangle will have a perimeter of

  6.5*28 cm = 182 cm

The larger rectangle will have an area of

  6.5^2*48 cm^2 = 2028 cm^2 . . . . . note the scale factor is squared for area

The appropriate choice is the 3rd one, ...

  Perimeter = 182 cm, area = 2,028 cm^2

There are 4 aces and 4 kings in a standard deck of playing cards. you pick one random card at random. What is the probability of
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:2/3

Step-by-step explanation:There are 52 cards in a standard deck: 13 ordinal cards (Ace - 10, Jack, Queen, King) and 4 of them - one to each suit (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades) and so we have

4

×

13

=

52

.

There are 8 cards that fit the question (4 each of aces and kings).

And so in a random draw, the odds of drawing one of those 8 cards out of the total number of 52 is:8/52

which we can simplify:

8/52=2/13

The attendance at a family reunion was 160 people. This was 125% of last year's attendance. How many people attended the reunion
Alex787 [66]
If you would like to know how many people attended the reunion last year, you can calculate this using the following steps:

125% of last year's attendance is 160 people
125% of x is 160
125% * x = 160
125/100 * x = 160     /*100/125
x = 160 * 100 / 125
x = 128 people (last year)

Result: 128 people attended the reunion last year.

Find the slope of the line that contains the points (1,-1) and (-2,8)
motikmotik
The formula for slope is (y-y1)/(x-x1).
1 = x
-1 = y
-2 = x2
8 = y2

You would plug those into the formula: (-1-(-2))/(-1-8) and that would equal to: 1/(-9).
