Answer:

The slope is: A. -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points: (5, -11), (-9, 17)

Use the equation for slope:

m = y - y1 / x - x1

m = -11 - 17 / 5 - (-9)

m = -28 / 14

m = -2

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!!  :-)

What is the exact volume of a sphere that has a radius of 9.6 m?<br><br> <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cpi%20" id="TexF
Evgesh-ka [11]
<span>We have to find the volume of the sphere that has a radius of 9.6 m. The formula for the volume of the sphere is: V = 4/3 r^3 Pi. ( r = 9.6 m, Pi = 3.14 ) V = 4/3 * 9.6^3 * 3.14; V = 4/3 * 884.736 * 3.14; V = 3,705.97349m^3 ( when the number Pi is more accurate ). Answer: The exact volume of the sphere is 3,704.97349 m^3.</span>

Consider the line shown on the graph. Enter the
Semenov [28]

<h2>Solution -</h2>

From the graph, we concluded that line passes through the points (0, 3) and (1, 4) respectively.

So, slope of the line (m) passing through the points (a, b) and (c, d) is

m = d - b/ c - a

<h3>So, on substituting the values, we get </h3>

m = 4 - 3 / 1 - 0 = 1/1 = 1

Also, line makes an intercept of 3 units in positive direction of y - axis.

So, c = 3

<h3>So, Equation of line is given by</h3>

y = mx + c

y = 1 × x + 3

<h3>y = x + 3</h3>

<h3>Alternative Method :-</h3>

We know, Equation of line passing through the points (a,b) and (c, d) is given by

y - b = d - b / c - a (x - a)

<h3>Here,</h3>

a = 0

b = 3

c = 1

d = 4

<h3>So, on substituting these values in above result, we get :-</h3>

y - 3 = 4 - 3 /1 - 0 ( x - 0 )

y - 3 = 1/1 ( x - 0 )

y - 3 = x

<h3>y = x + 3</h3>

<h3>Different forms of equations of a straight line :-</h3>

1. Equations of horizontal and vertical lines

Equation of line parallel to x - axis passes through the point (a, b) is y = b.

Equation of line parallel to y - axis passes through the point (a, b) is x = a.

<h3>2. Point-slope form equation of line</h3>

Equation of line passing through the point (a, b) having slope m isy - b = m(x - a)

<h3>3. Slope-intercept form equation of line</h3>

Equation of line which makes an intercept of c units on y axis and having slope m is y = mx + c.

<h3>4. Intercept Form of Line</h3>

Equation of line which makes an intercept of a and b units on x - axis and y axis respectively is x/a + y/b = 1.

<h3>5. Normal form of Line</h3>

Equation of line which is at a distance of p units from the origin and perpendicular makes an angle B with the positive X-axis is x cosB + y sinB = p.

Can someone answer this please with an explanation.
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

x=92

Step-by-step explanation:

those to angles are supplementary meaning that they add up to equal 180

so you set up the equation 180=x+x-4

180=2x-4

step 1 add 4 to each side

184=2x

step 2 divide each side by 2

x=92

so the angles equal 92 and 88
