Answer: -4. Reasoning: We are trying to get the angle of both lines to equal 180. If you add 60+124 together to see how much we have currently, your answer comes up to 184. That’s 4 over what we need, therefore, -4 would be needed to bring the current amount back down to 180.
((x2-x1),(y2-y1))
((6-5),(9-8))
Component form: (1,1)
(1^2+1^2)^(1/2)
Magnitude: (2)^(1/2)
To find the slope of the line, simply remember the basic equation for the slope intercept.
Y = mx +/- b
Where m = slope or rise/run
b = y intercept.
In this case the slope is a negative value and is -5/2.
3/4*3=2 1/4
The race is 2 1/4 miles long
Hope this helps :)
