<span>(a) the slope of curve is calculated from the derivative of the curve expression y=5/x. In this problem, the slope m=-5/(a^2). (b) x=1, y=5,and m=-5, the tangent line is y-5=-5*(x-1). x=4, y=5/4, and m=-5/16, the tangent line is y-5/4=-5/16*(x-4)</span>

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-1,-7) and (-9,-2)?
nalin [4]

Answer: m = -5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for slope is rise over run, also known as:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

From the points (x, y), we can get all the variables we need.

(-1, -7) gives us x1 = -1 and y1 = -7

(-9, -2) gives us x2 = -9 and y2 = -2

If we plug all the values in, we get:

m = (-2 - (-7))/(-9 - (-1))

m = (-2 + 7)/(-9 + 1) the negatives cancel

m = (5)/(-8)

m = -5/8

In Jaden’s yard, there is a triangular garden patch. He wants to plant a geranium in the patch at a point equidistant from all i
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Jaden has to plant the geranium in the circumcentre of the triangular yard in order such that it is equidistant from all its vertices.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Jaden’s yard, there is a triangular garden patch. He wants to plant a geranium in the patch at a point equidistant from all its vertices.

<em>" The CIRCUMCENTER (C) of a triangle is the point in the plane equidistant from the three vertices of the triangle "</em>

Hence Jaden has to plant the geranium in the circumcentre of the triangular yard in order such that it is equidistant from all its vertices.

Kryger [21]
7/8 = 0.875
14/16 = 0.875

Therefore, 7/8 = 14/16
