Find the slope of the line passing through the points (8,-6) and (4,-8) .

Mathematics

Murljashka [212]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

1/2 is the slope of the line

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope, use the following equation

slope (m) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

First, set each coordinate. Let:

(x₁ , y₁) = (8 , -6)

(x₂ , y₂) = (4 , -8)

Plug in the corresponding numbers for the corresponding variables.

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

m = (-8 - (-6))/(4 - 8)

Simplify. Note that two negative signs would result in a positive sign.

m = (-8 + 6)/(4 - 8)

Combine like terms.

m = -2/-4

Simplify. Divide common factors from both the numerator and denominator.

m = (-2/-4)/(-2/-2) = 1/2

1/2 is the slope of the line

The value of a and b
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Both a and b would both equal 45 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we need to note that a and 135 create a straight line. Since a straight line has 180 degrees, we can create an equation to solve for a.

135 + a = 180

a = 45

Now that we know a is equal to 45, we can tell that b is also equal to that amount. This is because two parallel lines cut by a transversal creates the same angle.

In ΔEFG, the measure of ∠G=90°, GE = 32 feet, and EF = 41 feet. Find the measure of ∠E to the nearest tenth of a degree.
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

m∠E = 38.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

If you make a drawing it will help.  What you have is a right triangle where you are given the adjacent side to ∠E and the hypotenuse.

The cosine of a angle = adjacent side/hypotenuse.

Therefore cos E = 32/41

arccos (32/41) = 38.7°

Integral of ln times cube root x dx
zvonat [6]
If u = ln(x^(1/3))
then by the chain rule
du = [1/x^(1/3)] * (1/3)x^(-2/3) dx = (1/3)(1/x) dx. 
You could get there faster by noting that
 ln(x^(1/3)) = (1/3) ln(x), so du = (1/3) dx/x
