Answer:

Slope is  -8

Step-by-step explanation:

First and foremost, welcome to Brainly!

I'll begin with the basics of slope, just to help you get the gist of this crucial concept -

Slope can be rewritten as rise/run, although written formally as :

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_2-x_1}

when we are given two coordinates (x,y) on the line.

One important thing to note is that slope belongs to a general equation,

y = mx+b

where b represents the y intercept and m is slope.

We're given two coordinates in your question: (6,9) and (7,1):

m = \frac{1-9}{7-6} = \frac{-8}{1} =-8

m = -8 is the final answer.

I hope this helps! By the way, slope is a concept that will follow you to calculus and physics, so I urge you to practice!

You always work from the parenthesis first because of order of operation. You have 12( because 2 times 6) then mulitply 12 times 10. You get 120 then you multiply it but itself 3 times. 120 x 120 x 120= 1728000

Find the exact circumference of a circle with diameter equal to 8 ft
lina2011 [118]
The formula for circumference is C= 2(pi)(r)^2. Because diameter is double the radius, and the diameter is 8 ft, the radius is 4 ft. So, plug that into the equation, and you get: C=2(pi)(4)^2. The answer is 32 pi ft. If the question asks for the exact answer, keep the pi as it is, but if it says to round, multiply 32 by pi and round.

Micah walks on a treadmill at 4 miles per hour. He has walked 2 miles
lana66690 [7]
<span>Let time taken by Luke to cover the distance = x hours Speed of Luke = 6 miles per hour Therefore, Distance covered by Luke = 6x ------(1) Speed of Micah = 4 miles per hour Since Micah walked 2 miles before Luke started running, Luke started 1/2 an hour after Micah started. Therefore time taken by Micah to cover the distance = x+1/2 Distance covered by Micah = 4(x + 1/2) -------(2) Equating (1) and (2) 6x = 4(x+1/2) 6x = 4x +2 2x = 2 x= 1 Therefore Luke would take 1 hour to cover the distance covered by Micah.</span>
