Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, plug any two of your points into the slope formula.

I'll use your first two; (-2, 8) and (-1, 2).

\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Your y1 term is 8, your y2 term is 2.

Your x1 term is -2, your x2 term is -1.

\frac{2-8}{-1-(-2)} \\\\\frac{-6}{-1+2} \\\\\frac{-6}{1} \\\\-6

Your slope is -6.

Answer:

The slope is \huge \boxed{-6}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula:

\displaystyle \frac{Y_2-Y_1}{X_2-X_1}=\frac{RISE}{RUN}

\displaystyle \frac{2-8}{(-1)-(-2)}=\frac{-6}{1}=-6

Therefore, the slope is -6, and the correct answer is -6.

Find the distance between these points. <br> A(5,8), B(-3,4)
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

<u>Distance</u><u> </u><u>between</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>points</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>8</u><u>.</u><u>9</u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>units</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

General formula:

{ \boxed{ \bf{distance =  \sqrt{ {(x_{1} - x _{2} )}^{2} +  {(y _{1} - y _{2} ) }^{2}  } }}}

substitute:

{ \sf{ =  \sqrt{ {(5 - ( - 3))}^{2}  +  {(8 - 4)}^{2} } }} \\  = {  \sf{ \sqrt{64 + 16} }} \\  = { \sf{ \sqrt{80} }} \\  = 8.94 \: units

The lengths of the legs of a right triangle are consecutive even integers. The hypotenuse is 58 inches. What is the sum of the l
miskamm [114]

Answer:

82 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between consecutive even integers is 2, thus

let the legs be n and n + 2

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

n² + (n + 2)² = 58² ← expand and simplify left side

n² + n² + 4n + 4 = 3364 ( subtract 3364 from both sides )

2n² + 4n - 3360 = 0 ( divide all terms by 2 )

n² + 2n - 1680 = 0 ← in standard form

(n + 42)(n - 40) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for n

n + 42 = 0 ⇒ n = - 42

n - 40 = 0 ⇒ n = 40

But n > 0 ⇒ n = 40

and n + 2 = 40 + 2 = 42

Thus sum of legs = 40 + 42 = 82 inches
