Answer:

The new slope is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of any two points can be found by:

$slope=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Finding slope of (3,7) (4,9)

$slope=\frac{9-7}{4-3}\\slope=\frac{2}{1}\\slope=2$

Finding slope of (4,9) (5,11)

$slope=\frac{11-9}{5-4}\\slope=\frac{2}{1}\\slope=2$

So, the slope of the line is 2

Now if slope is divided by 2, new slope will be:

$slope = \frac{2}{2}\\slope=1$

So, The new slope is 1

Find 3 solutions to the equation y = −4x −1

agasfer [191]

Answer:

(0,-1)

(1,-5)

(2,-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = −4x −1

Let x=0

y = 0-1 = -1 (0,-1)

Let x = 1

y = -4(1) -1 = -4-1 =-5 (1,-5)

Let x = 2

y = -4(2) -1 = -8-1 =-9 (2,-9)

Answer:

? = 13.6

Step-by-step explanation:

the angle between a tangent and the diameter = 90°

Then the triangle is right with legs 2 × 6 = 12 and 6.4

using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the legs , that is

? ² = 12² + 6.4² = 144 + 40.96 = 184.96 ( take square root of both sides )

? = $\sqrt{184.96}$ = 13.6
