Answer:

$x_1 = 5, x_2 =11, y_1 =9, y_2 = -3$

The slope can be founded with this formula:

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

And replacing we got:

$m =\frac{-3 -9}{11-5}= -2$

And the best answer for this case would be :

$m=-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following two points given:

$x_1 = 5, x_2 =11, y_1 =9, y_2 = -3$

The slope can be founded with this formula:

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

And replacing we got:

$m =\frac{-3 -9}{11-5}= -2$

And the best answer for this case would be :

$m=-2$

What is the coordinate?

faltersainse [42]

Remember that the equation of a circle is:
$(x - h)^{2} + (y - k)^{2} = r^{2}$
Where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius.
We need to get the equation into that form, and find k.

$x^{2} - 6x + y^{2} - 10y = 56$

Complete the square. We must do this for x² - 6x and y² - 10y separately.

x² - 6x
Divide -6 by 2 to get -3.
Square -3 to get 9. Add 9,
x² - 6x + 9

Because we've added 9 on one side of the equation, we have to remember to do the same on the other side.

$x^{2} - 6x + 9 + y^{2} - 10y = 65$

Now factor x² - 6x + 9 to get (x - 3)² and do the same thing with y² - 10y.

y² - 10y
Divide -10 by 2 to get -5.
Square -5 to get 25.
Add 25 on both sides.

$(x - 3)^{2}+ y^{2} - 10y + 25= 90$

Factor y² - 10y + 25 to get (y - 5)²

$(x - 3)^{2}+ (y - 5)^{2} = 90$

Now our equation is in the correct form. We can easily see that h is 3 and k is 5. (not negative because the original equation has -h and -k so you must multiply -1 to it)

Since (h, k) represents the center, (3, 5) is the center and 5 is the y-coordinate of the center.

Mr. Jones wants to place a chimney on his roof. It is recommended that the chimney be set at a height of at least 30 feet. The h

Tom [10]

Absolute value of any number is always positive because it represent distance and distance will always positive.

To place chimney at least 30 feet , the distance along the width of the roof (x) will be x = 17.5 feet or x = 2.5 feet.

Since, The height of the roof is described by the function f(x)=−4/3|x−10| + 40

Since, minimum height is 30 feet.

So , substitute f(x)=30 in above expression.

30=−4/3|x−10| + 40

4/3|x−10| = 10

|x−10|=30/4

|x−10| = 7.5

Taking positive case,

x−10 = 7.5

x = 17.5 feet

Taking negative case,

x−10 = - 7.5

x = 10 - 7.5

x = 2.5 feet

Jen has 2 meters of taffy. She wants to give each of her 3 best friends an equal amount of taffy. How many centimeters of taffy

Katarina [22]

first you'll need to convert the meters to centimeters. 2 meters = 200 centimeters. then you divide 200 by 3 which is 6 2/3 centimeters for each person.
