Slope =change of y over change of x

(2, −5) and (4, 1)

M= 1-(-5)/4-2

M=6/2

M=3

So the slope is 3.

If you need the equation

Y=mx+b

(4, 1)

1= 3(4)+b

1=12+b

1-12=b

-11=b

So equation

Y=3x-11

raj and his sister zia are both at secondary school. Raj is three years older than zia. the sum of the squares of their ages is

Cerrena [4.2K]

Let Zia's age be = x years

Raj is three years older than Zia, so Raj's age = x+3 years

As the sum of the squares of their ages is 369, so

$x^{2}+(x+3)^{2}=369$

$x^{2}+x^{2}+6x+9=369$

$2x^{2}+6x+9=369$

$2x^{2}+6x-360=0$

Factoring 2 out we have,

$x^{2}+3x-180=0$

Now solving this equation,

$x^{2}+15x-12x-180=0$

$x(x+15)-12(x+15)$

$(x+15)(x-12)$

x=-15 and x=12

Neglect the negative value as x cannot be negative

So x=12

Hence, Zia's age is 12 years and

Raj's age is 12+3 = 15 years

Find the value of that makes ADEFAXYZ.

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

x = 2/3

DF = 10

scale factor of ΔDEF to ΔXYX is 1:3

Step-by-step explanation:

DF corresponds to XZ and DE corresponds to XY so we can set up a proportion:

6x+6/30 = 8/24

simplify 8/24 to be 1/3

6x+6/30 = 1/3

cross-multiply:

3(6x+6) = 30

18x + 18 = 30

18x = 12

x = 12/18 or 2/3

Answer:

B) r= c/2 $\pi$

Step-by-step explanation:

To isolate r, divide 2 $\pi$ on both sides

c = 2 $\pi$ r
