Answer:

slope=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to know the slope formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

Then you just plug in and solve:

-3-1/7-5 = -4/2 = -2

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y/x-x    is the formula to find slope

1 - (-3) / 5 - 7  = 4/-2

Simplify 4/-2 by dividing it.

slope = -2

4. Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes
pentagon [3]

Answer:

y=\frac{5}{2}x-14

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

<u>What we need to know:</u>

  • Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is 0)
  • Parallel lines always have the same slope

<u>1) Determine the slope (m)</u>

y=\frac{5}{2}x-10

In the given equation, \frac{5}{2} is in the place of m, making it the slope. Because parallel lines have the same slope, the line we're currently solving for therefore has a slope of \frac{5}{2}. Plug this into y=mx+b:

y=\frac{5}{2}x+b

<u>2) Determine the y-intercept (b)</u>

y=\frac{5}{2}x+b

Plug in the given point (-6,-29) and solve for b

-29=\frac{5}{2}(-6)+b

Simplify -6 and 2

-29=\frac{5}{1}(-3)+b\\-29=(5)}(-3)+b\\-29=-15+b

Add 15 to both sides to isolate b

-29+15=-15+b+15\\-14=b

Therefore, the y-intercept is -14. Plug this back into y=\frac{5}{2}x+b:

y=\frac{5}{2}x-14

I hope this helps!

(9, 8) is the midpoint of mc136-1.jpg. The coordinates of S are (10, 10). What are the coordinates of R?
kolbaska11 [484]
I cant see the image...but I take it that the midpoint is (9,8) and the endpoint S is (10,10) and ur looking for the other endpoint R.

midpoint formula : (x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2
(10,10)....x1 = 10 and y1 = 10
(x,y)....x2 = x and y2 = y
so we sub
(10 + x) / 2, (10 + y) / 2 = 9/8

(10 + x) / 2 = 9
10 + x = 9 * 2
10 + x = 18
x = 18 - 10
x = 8

(10 + y) / 2 = 8
10 + y = 8 * 2
10 + y = 16
y = 16 - 10
y = 6

so endpoint R has coordinates of (8,6) <===

What is the equation of a circle centered at the origin with radius 20?
Colt1911 [192]
We know that
the equation of a circle is
(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²
where 
(h,k)-----> is the center
r--------> is the radius

is the center is the point (0,0) and radius  r=20
then
(h,k) is (0,0)

(x-0)²+(y-0)²=20²---------> (x)²+(y)²=400


the answer is
the option D.)  x2 + y2 = 400

The residents of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes. The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 3 to 5. If there were 7
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

2967 yes votes

Step-by-step explanation:

Welcome to Brainly!

One way of doing this problem follows:

Find the ratio, r, mentioned in the problem statement.  To do this,

write the equation 3r + 5r = 7912 and solve this for r:

8r = 7912, so that r = 989.

Then the number of yes votes was 3(989), or 2967, and the number of no votes was 5(989), or 4947.

check:  Does the ratio 2967/4947 equal 3/5?  yes.

There were 2967 yes votes.
