Slope of the line passing through two points <span><span>P=<span>(<span><span>x1</span>,<span>y1</span></span>) </span></span></span>and <span><span>Q=<span>(<span><span>x2</span>,<span>y2</span></span>)</span></span></span> is given by <span><span>m=<span><span><span>y2</span>−<span>y1/</span></span><span><span>x2</span>−<span>x1</span></span></span></span></span>.

We have that <span><span><span>x1</span>=−8</span></span>, <span><span><span>y1</span>=−3</span></span>, <span><span><span>x2</span>=−3</span></span>, <span><span><span>y2</span>=4</span></span>.

Plug given values into formula for slope: <span><span>m=<span><span><span>(4)</span>−<span>(<span>−3</span>)/</span></span><span><span>(<span>−3</span>)</span>−<span>(<span>−8</span>)</span></span></span>=<span>7/5</span></span></span>.

Now y-intercept is <span><span>b=<span>y1</span>−m⋅<span>x1</span></span></span> .

<span><span>b=−3−<span>(<span>7/5</span>)</span>⋅<span>(<span>−8</span>)</span>=<span>41/5.</span></span></span>

Finally, equation of the line can be written in the form <span><span>y=mx+b</span></span>.

<span><span>y=<span>7/5</span>x+<span>41/5</span></span></span>

291.87 irrational or rational
aliina [53]
291.87 is rational since the last (decimal) numbers aren't repeating.
If it was repeating (291.877777...) it would be irrational.

Find the exact circumference of a circle with diameter equal to 8 ft. 8 ft. 16 ft. 64 ft.
maria [59]

ANSWER

8π ft

EXPLANATION

The circumference of a circle is calculated using the formula C=πd.

Where d=8 is the diameter of the circle.

We substitute d=8 into the formula to obtain,

C=8π ft.

Because we are looking for the exact circumference, we leave the answer in terms of π.

For easier calculation,
convert 4years 8months into months. This would give you 56months.
Amit is 56months old.

Which red triangle shows a 90° counterclockwise rotation of the blue triangle? Check all that apply. On a coordinate plane, a bl
Tcecarenko [31]

Question:

1) Blue triangle points; (-1, 4), (-5, 4), and (-1, 1)

Red triangle points; (-4, -1), (-1, -1). and (-4, -5)

2) Blue triangle points (1, 1), (4, 5), (4, 1)

Red triangle points; (-1, 1), (-1, 4). and (-5, 4)

3) Blue triangle points (0, 1), (4, 4), (4, 1)

Red triangle points; (-4, 1), (-4, 4). and (0, 1)

4) Blue triangle points (-5, 4), (-1, 4), (-1, 1)

Red triangle points; (1, 1), (4, 1). and (4, 5)

5) Blue triangle points (-2, 5), (4, 5), (4, 1)

Red triangle points; (-1, 4), (-5, 4). and (-5, -2)

Answer:

The correctly rotated red triangles are those of (1), (2), and (5)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a 90° counterclockwise rotation, every x and y points of the original triangle are switched while the y is turned negative, as shown in the following equation;

(x, y) to (-y, x)

Therefore, the triangles that undergo a 90° counterclockwise rotation are as follows;

1) Blue triangle points; (-1, 4), (-5, 4), and (-1, 1)

Red triangle points; (-4, -1), (-1, -1). and (-4, -5)

(-1, 4) → (-4, -1)

(-5, 4) → (-4, -5)

(-1, 1) → (-1, -1)

Correctly rotated 90° counterclockwise

2) Blue triangle points (1, 1), (4, 5), (4, 1)

Red triangle points; (-1, 1), (-1, 4). and (-5, 4)

(1, 1) → (-1, 1)

(4, 5) → (-5, 4)

(4, 1) → (-1, 4)

Correctly rotated 90° counterclockwise

3) Blue triangle points (0, 1), (4, 4), (4, 1)

Red triangle points; (-4, 1), (-4, 4). and (0, 1)

(0, 1) → (0, 1) ≠ (-1, 0)

(4, 4) → (-4, 4)

(4, 1) → (-4, 1)

Not correctly rotated 90° counterclockwise

4) Blue triangle points (-5, 4), (-1, 4), (-1, 1)

Red triangle points; (1, 1), (4, 1). and (4, 5)

(-5, 4) → (4, 5) ≠ (-4, -5)

(-1, 4) → (4, 1)

(-1, 1) → (1, 1)

Not correctly rotated 90° counterclockwise

5) Blue triangle points (-2, 5), (4, 5), (4, 1)

Red triangle points; (-1, 4), (-5, 4). and (-5, -2)

(-2, 5) → (-5, -2)

(4, 5) → (-5, 4)

(4, 1) → (-1, 4)

Correctly rotated 90° counterclockwise.
