The slope of the line that contains the points (1 -1) and (-2 8) is -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope measures the steepness of a line. It is the ratio of vertical change to horizontal change. If the line increasing, the slope is positive and if the line is decreasing the slope is negative. If the line is horizontal slope is zero and if the line is vertical slope is undefined.

Equation for slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

here y2= 8

x2=-2

y1=-1

x1=1

Substituting the following,

slope = (8+1)/(-2-1)

=9/-3

=-3

hence the slope is -3

The following ratios are equivalent 16 girls to 12 boys and 8 girls : 6 boys
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of boys to girls is 12 to 16, 12:16 or 12/16 (all different ways this can be written). The fraction form 12/16 can be reduced by dividing by the greatest common factor. Both 12 and 16 are divisible by 4, so the reduced fraction is 12/4 over 16/4 = 3/4. In other words, there are 3 boys for every 4 girls in the class.

Unit test, Part 2: Measurement of Two-Dimensional Figures Please help!!!
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Area of the composite figure = Area of the sector + Area of rectangle

Area of sector = (θ/ 360) x \pir^{2}

From the figure,

θ = 30, and r = 65

Area of sector = \frac{30}{360} x \frac{22}{7} x 65 x 65

                        = 1 1065.55m^{2}

Area of rectangle = length x width

                        = 65 x 4

                       = 260 m^{2}

Area of the composite figure = 1 1065.55 + 260

                                                  = 11325.55

Area of the composite figure is 11326 m^{2}.

How long would it take an ant to run from Los Angeles to New York City?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

2 Years, 9 Months, 3 Weeks, 5 Days and 1 Hour

Step-by-step explanation:

2,798.5 miles from L.A. to New York, an ant travels at 3 inches a second, we multiply 3 by 60 to get 120 inches a minute convert that into feet to get 10 feet, now multiply that by another 60 to get 600 feet an hour now multiply 600 by 24 to get 14,400 feet a day convert that into miles to get  2.72 miles a day now take 2.72 miles and divide that by the distance between the 2 cities to get about 1030 days, now if we put that into years, months, weeks, days and hours we get 2 Years, 9 Months, 3 Weeks, 5 Days and 1 Hour
