Answer:

$\huge\boxed{slope=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points

$(-5;\ 3)\to x_1=-5;\ y_1=3\\(7;\ 9)\to x_2=7;\ y_2=9$

Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{9-3}{7-(-5)}=\dfrac{6}{7+5}=\dfrac{6}{12}=\dfrac{6:6}{12:6}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the slope formula since we have 2 points

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (9-3)/( 7 - -5)

= (9-3) /( 7+5)

= 6/ 12

= 1/2

HELP MUTIPLE CHICE IM BEING TIMED GEOMETRY PICKING SOMEONE FOR Brainliest

ollegr [7]

Answer:

1. SSS

2. Q and S

3. 20

Step-by-step explanation:

1. SSS similarity: If the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, then the two triangles are similar.

Triangles NLM and WUV are similar by SSS similarity, because

$\dfrac{NL}{WU}=\dfrac{36}{63}=\dfrac{4}{7}\\ \\\dfrac{LM}{UV}=\dfrac{40}{70}=\dfrac{4}{7}\\ \\\dfrac{NM}{WV}=\dfrac{24}{42}=\dfrac{4}{7}$

2. Completed steps:

a) draw a circle with center at P and radius r

b) draw a circle with center at Q and radius r

c) using compass, measure the distance between two points of intersection of the first circle with angle rays

d) using point of intersection of the second circle with PQ as a center, draw the circle of radius equal to the distance from c) to get point S

Last step: connect points Q and S, line QS will be parallel to line r.

3. If lines MN and UT are parallel, then angles MUT and VMN are congruent; also angles UTN and MNV are congruent.

AA similarity: In two triangles, if two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar .

By AA similarity, triangles VMN and VUT are similar, thus

$\dfrac{VM}{VU}=\dfrac{VN}{VT}\\ \\\dfrac{VM}{VM+8}=\dfrac{49-14}{49}\\ \\49VM=35(VM+8)\\ \\49VM=35VM+280\\ \\49VM-35VM=280\\ \\14VM=280\\ \\VM=20\ units$

Point M is the midpoint of AB. The coordinates of point A are (-7, 1) and the coordinates of M are (-4,1). What are the coordina

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The coordinates of point B are : (-1, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{-7+x^{2} }{2} = -4\\\frac{1+y^{2} }{2} =1$ You multiply -4 by 2 which gives you -8 then you multiply 1 by 2 which gives 2.

Then you create the equations $-7 + x^{2} = -8\\1 + y^{2} = 2$ you substitute -7 for +7 and add 7 to -8 which gives -1 ( $x^{2}$ ) and subtract 1 from 2 which gives you 1 ( $y^{2}$ )
