What is the slope of the line passing through the points (–1, 3) and (4, –7)?

1 answer:

6 0

Slope=rise/run
slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) if you have the points
(x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

we have the points (-1,3) and (4,-7)
x1=-1
y1=3
x2=4
y2=-7

slope=(-7-3)/(4-(-1))=-10/5=-2

answer is D

Please answer. In parallelogram WXYZ, diagonals WY and XZ intersect at point A. Give WA=x^2-48 and AY=x^2-6x. What is WY? Show y

netineya [11]

The diagonals of a parallelogram are congruent

The length WY is 32

<h3>How to determine the length WY</h3>

Given that:

$WA = x^2 - 48$ and

$AY = x^2 - 6x$

Then, we have:

$x^2 - 48 = x^2 - 6x$ diagonal

Subtract x^2 from both sides

$- 48 =- 6x$

Divide both sides by -6

$x = 8$

The length WY is calculated as:

$WY=2 * WA$

So, we have:

$WY=2 * [x^2 - 48]$

Substitute 8 for x

$WY=2 * [8^2 - 48]$

Simplify

$WY=32$

Hence, the length WY is 32
