Find the slope of the line passing through the points <br> , −8−3<br> and <br> , −34<br> .
alukav5142 [94]

Slope of the line passing through two points <span><span>P=<span>(<span><span>x1</span>,<span>y1</span></span>) </span></span></span>and <span><span>Q=<span>(<span><span>x2</span>,<span>y2</span></span>)</span></span></span> is given by <span><span>m=<span><span><span>y2</span>−<span>y1/</span></span><span><span>x2</span>−<span>x1</span></span></span></span></span>.

We have that <span><span><span>x1</span>=−8</span></span>, <span><span><span>y1</span>=−3</span></span>, <span><span><span>x2</span>=−3</span></span>, <span><span><span>y2</span>=4</span></span>.

Plug given values into formula for slope: <span><span>m=<span><span><span>(4)</span>−<span>(<span>−3</span>)/</span></span><span><span>(<span>−3</span>)</span>−<span>(<span>−8</span>)</span></span></span>=<span>7/5</span></span></span>.

Now y-intercept is <span><span>b=<span>y1</span>−m⋅<span>x1</span></span></span> .

<span><span>b=−3−<span>(<span>7/5</span>)</span>⋅<span>(<span>−8</span>)</span>=<span>41/5.</span></span></span>

Finally, equation of the line can be written in the form <span><span>y=mx+b</span></span>.

<span><span>y=<span>7/5</span>x+<span>41/5</span></span></span>

Answer:

y = (x - 3)² - 4      Vertex form

(3, -4)    Vertex

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x² - 6x + 5

Complete the square

y = (x - 3)² + 5 - (-3)²

y = (x - 3)² + 5 - 9

y = (x - 3)² - 4      Vertex form

(3, -4)    Vertex

Rewrite each fraction in simplest form using the GCF of the numerator and denominator.
Elanso [62]

Answer:

\sf 6. \quad \dfrac{7}{10}

\sf 7. \quad \dfrac{5}{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Question 6</u></h3>

To find the greatest common factor (GCF), first list the prime factors of each number:

  • 42 = 2 × 3 × 7
  • 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5

42 and 60 share one 2 and one 3 in common.

Multiply them together to get the GCF:  2 × 3 = 6.

Therefore, 6 is the GCF of 42 and 60.

Divide the numerator and the denominator by the found GCF:

\implies \sf \dfrac{42 \div 6}{60 \div 6}=\dfrac{7}{10}

<h3><u>Question 7</u></h3>

To find the greatest common factor (GCF), first list the prime factors of each number:

  • 80 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
  • 272 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 17

80 and 272 share four 2s in common.

Multiply them together to get the GCF:  2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16.

Therefore, 16 is the GCF of 80 and 272.

Divide the numerator and the denominator by the found GCF:

\implies \sf \dfrac{80 \div 16}{272 \div 16}=\dfrac{5}{17}
