How to solve (-1,8) and (8,-8)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Volgvan3 years ago
3 0

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If you are trying to find a linear equation from those two points, use the equation y2-y1 over x2-x1. y2-y1 just means the second point's y coordinate minus the first point's y coordinate (same goes for x2-x1).

2. So if you were to plug the coordinates into the equation, it would be: -8-8 over 8-(-1).

3. Solve to get -16/9 because -8-8=-16 and 8-(-1)=9, so -16/9. -16/9 is the slope of the line in the y=mx +b equation.

4. It would be written like y=-16/9x +b

5. Now we need to find b which is the y-intercept. To find this pick one of the points (we'll just do (-1,8)), and plug in the x and y coordinates and solve for b.

  • 8=-16/9(-1) +b
  • multiply -16/9 by -1 which is 16/9
  • subtract from both sides for it to be 8-16/9 on the left side which is 6 2/9, and that is b

6. The complete equation is now y=-16/9x + 6 2/9

-2 2/3, -5 1/3, -10 2/3, -21 1/3, -42 2/3. which formula can be used to describe the sequence?
Stella [2.4K]
Your sequence appears to be geometric with a common ratio of 2. It can be described by
  a(n) = (-2 2/3)·2^(n-1)

_____
This can be written in a number of other forms, including
  a(n) = (-8/3)·2^(n-1)
  a(n) = (-1/3)·2^(n+2)
  a(n) = (-4/3)·2^n

A triangular playground has angles with measures in ratio 8: 3: 9 what is the measure of the smallest angle
maria [59]
8x + 3× + 9x = 180

20x = 180
x = 180/20
x = 9

The smallest angle is: 3×9 = 27 degrees

Note: 180 degrees is the sum of angles in a triangle

The area of a rhombus can be evaluated using the formula 1/2 d1d2 , where d1 represents the measure of one of its diagonals and
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Area of the rhombus will be a repeating decimal.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a terminating decimals, numbers get terminated after decimal like

1/4 = 0.25

while in repeating decimals, numbers get repeated after decimal like

1/3 = 0.33333

When we multiply two decimals which are repeating and terminating decimals the result will be a repeating decimal.

Therefore area of the rhombus will be a repeating decimal.
