The formula y - y1 = m(x - x1) is the point-slope form of the equation of a line where m is the slope of the line and (x, y) and

(x1, y1) are points of the line. Solve the equation for m, and find the slope of a line that includes the points (4, -2) and (5, 0).

Answer:

The slope of a line that includes the points (4, -2) and (5, 0) is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the formula y - y1 = m(x - x1) is the point-slope form of the equation of a line where m is the slope of a line.

The line must include the points (4, -2) and (5, 0). So, being:

  • (x,y)= (4,-2)
  • (x1,y1)= (5, 0)

and replacing in the point-slope form of the equation of a line:

-2-0=m(4-5)

You solve the equation for m and get:

-2=m*(-1)

m=\frac{-2}{-1}

m=2

<u><em>The slope of a line that includes the points (4, -2) and (5, 0) is 2</em></u>

<h3>3 Answers: Choice A, Choice B, Choice E</h3>

============================================================

Explanation:

Let's go through each answer choice one by one to see if it's true or false.

  • A) This is true. Parallel lines have equal slopes, but different y intercepts.
  • B) This is true because of the corresponding angles theorem.
  • C) This is false. The statement applies to perpendicular lines, rather than parallel ones.
  • D) This is false in general. The only time it's true is when the consecutive interior angles are 90 degrees each. Otherwise, the statement is false.
  • E) This is true. Let's say we drew any diagonal line we wanted. Now imagine picking a point on that line and shifting it up 5 units. Do this for another point and draw a line through the two separated points. This forms a parallel line. The upper line has been shifted up 5 units compared to the lower line.
  • F) This is false in general. It's only true when both alternate interior angles are 90 degrees each; otherwise, it is false.

Estimate the surface area of a cube with side length 9.9 in.
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Estimate the surface area of a cube with side length 9.9 in.

A) 100 in²  

B) 400 in²  

C) 600 in²

D) 1000 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

9.9 to the nearest whole number is 10

We know the side length of the cube is 10

We work out the area of face and multiply by 6.

10 x 10 = 100

100 x 6 = 600 in²

How do you solve #-\frac { a } { 8.06} + 7.02= 18.4#?
givi [52]
I see you're probably trying to use a math editor to present this problem.  Unfortunately, I'm unsure how to decipher your "-\frac {a }{8.06)."  What fraction are you speaking of?

Given "<span>#-\frac { a } { 8.06} + 7.02= 18.4#," all I can say with certainty is that you could legitimately subtract 7.02 from both sides:

</span><span>#-\frac { a } { 8.06} + 7.02= 18.4#
                              - 7.02  = -7.02
After I've heard back from you, I'll try to help you solve the entire problem.
