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

Mathematics

Murljashka [212]3 years ago

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

Do rational expressions contain logarithmic functions? A. always B. sometimes C. never
bazaltina [42]

The right answer is C. never


The quotient of two algebraic expressions is a<em> fractional expression. </em> Moreover, the quotient of two <em>polynomials</em> such as:


\frac{1}{x} \\ \\ \frac{3x-2}{1+x} \\ \\ \frac{x^2-4}{x^2+2}


is called a rational expression. So according to this definition rational expressions does not contain logarithmic functions. In fact, a rational expression is an expression that is the ratio of two polynomials like this:


f(x)=\frac{P(x)}{Q(x)} \\ \\ with \ Q(x) \neq 0

Match each graph with the correct slope of the line. drag and drop the answer
OLEGan [10]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Slope of the first graph:

Using two points on the line, (0, 1) and (3, 2),

slope (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{2 - 1}{3 - 0} = \frac{1}{3}

Slope = ⅓

✔️Slope of the second graph:

Using two points on the line, (0, 0) and (1, 1),

slope (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{1 - 0}{1 - 0} = \frac{1}{1} = 1

Slope = 1

✔️Slope of the third graph:

Using two points on the line, (0, 1) and (2, 2),

slope (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{2 - 1}{2 - 0} = \frac{1}{2}

Slope = ½
