Answer:

The pitch (slope) of the roof is $0.25$ or $25\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

where

${y2-y1}=2.5\ m$ -----> is the vertical distance (rise)

${x2-x1}=10\ m$ -----> is the horizontal distance (run)

therefore

$m=\frac{2.5}{10}=0.25$

convert to percentage

$0.25*100=25\%$

No you could have left it as the last but one line or write them separately as

Which formula gives the x-coordinates of the maximum values for y = cos(x)?

solong [7]

We have been given a function $y=\cos(x)$ . We are asked to find the formula which gives the x-coordinates of the maximum values for given function.

We know that cosine function oscillates between $-1$ and 1 that is minimum value of cosine is $-1$ and maximum value is $1$ .

We also know that $\cos(0)=1$ and after period of cosine is $2\pi$ . This means after every $2\pi$ , we will get to $1$ .

So maximum of cosine is $2\pi n$ , where n is an integer.

Therefore, our required formula is $2\pi n$ , where, $n=0,\pm 1,\pm 2,\pm3,...$

Consider m = y2 - y1/ x2 - x1 . Which x1 and x2-values would determine that the line is vertical? Justify your answer

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

$x_2=x_1$

Step-by-step explanation:

We were given the slope formula;

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

This line is vertical if the denominator is zero.

That is when $x_2-x-1=0$

This implies that;

$x_2=x_1$

Justification;

When $x_2=x_1$ , then, the line passes through;

$(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_1,y_2)$

The slope now become

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_1-x_1}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{0}$

The equation of the line is

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{0}(x-x_1)$

This implies that;

$0(y-y_1)=(y_2-y_1)(x-x_1)$

$0=(y_2-y_1)(x-x_1)$

$\frac{0}{y_2-y_1}=(x-x_1)$

$0=(x-x_1)$

$x=x_1$ ... This is the equation of a vertical line.
