What is the slope of the line determined by the coordinates (2, 3) and (-6, -4)?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lina20 [59]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

m = -7/-8 or 0.875

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = m

Formula for slope w/ two points  is:   m =  y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

m= -4 - 3/ -6 - 2

m = -7/ -8

m = -7/-8 or 0.875

The length of a side of a triangle is 36. A line parallel to that side divides the triangle into two parts of equal area. Find t
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Length of BE is \frac{36}{\sqrt2}units

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a side of a triangle is 36. A line parallel to that side divides the triangle into two parts of equal area. we have to find the length of the segment determined by the points of intersection between the line and the other two sides of the triangle.

Now, the two parts of triangle have equal area ∴ ar(ADE)=ar(BDEC)

⇒ ar(ADE)=\frac{1}{2}ar(ABC)

⇒ \frac{ar(ADE)}{ar(ABC)}=\frac{1}{2}

In ΔABE and ΔABC,

∠A=∠A     (Common)

∠ABE=∠ABC   (Corresponding angles)

By AA similarity, ΔABE is similar to ΔABC.

Hence by area side proportionality theorem

\frac{ar(ADE)}{ar(ABC)}=(\frac{BE}{BC})^2

⇒ \frac{1}{2}=\frac{BE^2}{36^2}

⇒ BE^2=\frac{36^2}{2}

⇒ BE=\frac{36}{\sqrt2}units

Hence, length of BE is \frac{36}{\sqrt2}units

You are installing a brick sidewalk. The brick portion of the sidewalk will occupy an area of 100 feet long by 4 feet wide. Each
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

1,800 bricks are needed

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert the Length and width of the sidewalk into inches

Entire Sidewalk: L= 100x12 =1200in and W= 4 x 12 = 48in

Then we know Area = LxW, so we will do this for both the sidewalk and the brick.

Area of sidewalk: 1200 x 48 = 57600

Bricks ( no need to convert since the measurements are already in inches): 8 x 4 = 32

Now we will divide the area of the entire sidewalk by the area of a single brick to find out how many bricks you need to complete the whole sidewalk:

57600/32= 1,800 bricks

14. In the following figure, M is the midpoint of
timama [110]

Answer:

angle OAM and OBM are right angles because tangents form right angles with radii.

AO=BO and MA=MB

Quadrilateral MAOB =360 degrees

so angles AOB and AMB=90 degrees each

angle MBF=90 degrees

M is the midpoint of FA so MA=MF

MB=MF

Triangle MBF is a right triangle because angle BMF is 90 degrees and  MB=MF
