Mathematics
1 answer:
stepladder [879]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

y = - 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line passing through the origin is

y = mx ← m is the slope

To calculate m use the slope formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 0) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{0-2}{0+1} = \frac{-2}{1} = - 2

y = - 2x ← equation of line

A bike ramp has a slope of 1/4. What is the angle the ramps makes with the ground to the nearest degree?
Alexus [3.1K]

The slope is equivalent to the rise over run. Since the slope of the bike ramp is ¼, the rise is equivalent to 1 and the run is equivalent to 4. To get the angle of the bike ramp make with the ground, let us use the equation tanθ= rise/run.

Therefore, tanθ= ¼.  

Θ=tan-1 (1/4)

So the angle of the bike ramp is Θ= 14degrees

What is the maximum number of snowmen they can make?
Anastasy [175]
To answer this question, you do 5 2/3 divided by 1/2. First, change 5 2/3 to 17/3. Then, use the reciprocal method by doing 17/3 times 2/1, which gives you 34/3. That’s 11.3 repeating, so they can make 11 whole snowmen.
