The equation is (y2-y2)/(x2-x1), making sure to be constistant with which pair is 1 and 2. So let's say (0,2) is 1 and (-4,5) is 2. It looks like this:
(5-2)/(-4-0)=3/(-4)= -3/4 which is your answer

You would need to draw a graph or get some graph paper and plot those points. Then calculate the rise and the run. Rise is over the run. Then that is your slope. You get the rise by counting how many units up or down it takes to get to the point, and for the run, you count how many units across it is to get to the point. don't forget, if your units are going in a negative direction, then the number will be negative.

Answer:

Use trig

Step-by-step explanation:

sin(55) = x/21

x = 21sin(55)

use calculator in degree mode

cos(55) = y/21

21cos(55) = y

Four students are running for class president: liz, sam, sue, and tom. the probabilities of sam, sue, and tom winning are 7⁄25 ,
Natali5045456 [20]
First, we need to convert all the fractions to have the same denominator. 10 and 25 are both multiples of 100, so 100 would be appropriate. 

Sam has a 7/25 chance. Because we want ?/100, something needs to change. To get from 25 to 100, you need to times 25 by 4, right? So, do the same with the 7.
7 x 4 = 28. Therefore Sam has a 28/100 chance.

Sue has 3/10. Using the same method, we can see that 3 needs to be multiplied by 10 (because 10 times 10 = 100). So Sue has a 30/100 chance.

Tom is already in the fraction we like, so just keep this as 21/100. 

Now, add 28/100, 30/100 and 21/100 to get 79/100. 

Because won of them will get the role of class president, we know that the probability adds to 1. To get a full probability (100/100, or 1), what needs to be added to 79/100? 

Another way of going about this is 100/100-79/100. The answer is 21/100

The probability of Liz winning is 21/100. 

Let me know if this is still unclear, I would be more than happy to explain in more detail if necessary :)

14 The straight line, L, has the equation y = 5 - 2x
lozanna [386]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) the co-ordinates of the point where the line crosses the y-axis,

y intercept occurs when x = 0

y = 5 - 2(0)

y = 5

(0, 5)

(b) the gradient of the line,

the general line formula is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

y = 5 - 2x

y = -2x + 5

m = -2

(c) the equation of a line parallel to L.

Parallel lines have the same slope, but different y intercepts.

The simplest parallel line formula is

y = -2x + 0

y = -2x

30. Multiply a decimal less than 1 and a whole number._____________________
Talja [164]
30.
the multiplication of a decimal less than 1 and a whole number is always smaller than the whole number, because we are taking a fraction of the whole number.

31.
the product of a decimal greater than 1 and a whole number is always greater than the whole number because we are scaling the whole number.
