Hello there,


The points given: (-8,6) (-2,0)

y-intercept is: (0,-2)


<em>Slope intercept form:</em> y = mx + b


Slope: y2-y1/x2-x1

0-6/-2-(-8) = -6/6


Answer: -1


Hope I Helped!

Answer:

Slope is -1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the equation of a line is:

y = m + bx

where, m is the slope, but to know the slope we have a formula that is:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

We have 3 points of the line:

(-8,6); (-2,0); (0,-2)

When we want to know the slope we need two points and they can be any two points in any order, so we can say we are going to use:

Point 1:

(-8,6)

Point 2:

(-2,0)

y1 = 6;   y2 = 0

x1 = -8;    x2 = -2

Now we substitute the values in the formula for m:

m = (0-6) / (-2+8)

Now we solve:

m = -6/6

m = -1, This is the slope.

Simplify tan9x-tan5x / 1+tan9xtan5x<br> (SHOW WORK)
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The simplest form is tan(4x)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the identity of the compound angles

- tan(a+b)=\frac{tan(a)+tan(b)}{1-tan(a)tan(b)}

- tan(a-b)=\frac{tan(a)-tan(b)}{1+tan(a)tan(b)}

* Lets solve the problem

- Let 9x = 5x + 4x

∴ tan(9x) = tan(5x + 4x)

- Use the rule of the compound angle

∵ \frac{tan(9x)-tan(5x)}{1+tan(9x)tan(5x)} ⇒ (1)

∵ tan(5x+4x)=\frac{tan(5x)+tan(4x)}{1-tan(5x)tan(4x)} ⇒ (2)

∵ tan(9x) = equation (2)

- Substitute (2) in (1)

∴ \frac{\frac{tan(5x)+tan(4x)}{1-tan(5x)tan(4x)}-tan(5x)}{1+(\frac{tan(5x)+tan(4x)}{1-tan(5x)tan(4x)})tan(5x)}

- Multiply up and down by (1 - tan(5x)tan(4x))

∴ \frac{tan(5x)+tan(4x)-tan(5x)[1-tan(5x)tan(4x)]}{1-tan(5x)tan(4x)+tan(5x)[tan(5x)+tan(4x)]}

- Simplify up and down

∴ \frac{tan(5x)+tan(4x)-tan(5x)+tan^{2}(5x)tan(4x)}{1-tan(5x)tan(4x)+tan^{2}(5x)+tan(5x)tan(4x) }

∴ \frac{tan(4x)+tan^{2}(5x)tan(4x)}{[1+tan^{2}(5x)]}

- Take tan(4x) as a common factor up

∴ \frac{tan(4x)[1+tan^{2}(5x)]}{[1+tan^{2}(5x)]}

- Cancel [1 + tan²(5x)] up and down

∴ The answer is tan(4x)

2.1 miles + 1.7 miles =  3.8 miles

Andre is 3.8 miles away from his house

Step-by-step explanation:

First Trail away from Andre's House is 4 1/2 miles.

Second Trail 2.4 miles closer.

Third Trail away from house 1.7 miles.

-7p = -3p - 8<br> p =<br> Help
jeka94

Answer:

p=2

Step-by-step explanation:

-7p = -3p - 8

Add 3p to each side

-7p+3p = -3p+3p - 8

-4p = -8

Divide each side by -4

-4p/-4 = -8/-4

p = 2

How do you find the length of the legs when only given the hypotenuse with an isosceles right triangle?
emmainna [20.7K]
The side length ratios of an isosceles right triangle are 1-1-\sqrt{2}. So, the length of a leg would be equal to the length of the hypotenuse divided by the square root of 2.

Using pythagorean theorem (c is the hypotenuse, a and b are the legs)
c²=a²+b²
If the triangle is isosceles, two side lengths must be equal. In the case of a right triangle, the legs must be equal in length. So, b=a.
c²=a²+a²
c²=2a²
a²=c²/2
a=c/\sqrt{2}
a≈c/1.414
