Using the slope formula, find the slope of the line through the given points (2,7) and (5,1)

Mathematics

Zanzabum3 years ago

Answer:

The slope is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)

or change in y / change in x.

First, you plug in your numbers. I will use (2, 7) as (x1, y1)

(1-7)/(5-2)

Next, simplify.

(-6)/(3)

or

-2

And that's your slope!

Answer:

\underline{ \boxed{x = 11} } \\ \underline{ \boxed{ABE = 55}}

Step-by-step explanation:

if \: the \: question \: is \to \\  \overline{AZ} \: \perp \: \overline{CD}, \: m \angle{ABE} = 5x, \\ and  \\ \: m \angle{EBD } = 3x + 2\\ but \: m \angle{EBD }  +  m \angle{ABE} = 90 \\ hence \to \\ (3x + 2) + (5x) = 90 \\ 8x + 2 = 90 \\ 8x = 90 - 2 \\ 8x = 88 \\ x =  \frac{88}{8}  \\ \boxed{ x = 11} \\  \\ if \: x = 11, \: then \to \\ m \angle{ABE} = \: 5x = 5(11) \\  \boxed{m\angle{ABE} =55}

For the graph of the function, identify the axis of symmetry, vertex and the formula for the function.
snow_tiger [21]
We know that this is a parabola, as the equation is denoted by the x^2 term.

We can see that the symmetry is seen at the point -0.5, therefore making the axis of symmetry the vertical line -0.5.

The vertex is found in quadrant three. In other words, it will shift by a negative value both horizontally and vertically. The vertex is therefore (-0.5, -0.5).

We can verify this in the equations by using the formula (-b/2a) to find the vertex. The only quadratic equation that satisfies this is -2x^2 + 2x -1.

To sum it up, the answers are:

-2x^2 + 2x - 1.

AoS: x = -0.5

Vertex: (-0.5, -0.5).
