Okay so in order to find your slope you're going to need to label your first set of coordinates! Since you know that -6 is X, you're going to label it X(subscript 1) and since you know that 7 is Y, you're going to label it Y(subscript 1).
You're going to want to do the same thing with the other set of coordinates as well. -6 will be X(subscript 2) and -2 will be Y(subscript 2).
Then you need to set the labeled coordinates up in the following formula:
m=y(subscript 2) - y(subscript 1) / x(subscript 2) - x(subscript 1)
and then solve for your slope!
Answer:
x1 = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
first set up the proportion (write as fractions):
(y1/x1) = (y2/x2)
then fill in the variables:
4/x1 = 8/6
now cross multiply:
8 • x1 = 6 • 4
simple algebra:
8 • x1 = 24
x1 = 24/8
x1 = 3
Answer:
8 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
h(t) = -16t2 + initial height
Initial height = 1024 feets
By the time it hits the ground, h(t) = 0
Equation becomes :
0 = - 16t² + 1024
Solve for t
-16t² = 1024
t² = 1024 / -16
t² = 64
t = √64
t = 8
Hence, it will take 8 seconds
