In the standard (x, y) coordinate plane, what is the slope of the line joining the points (3,7) and (4,−8)?

1 answer:

7 0

We know that the slope formula is m = (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)
Your points are: (3, 7) and (4, -8)
In this case,
x1 = 3
x2 = 4
y1 = 7
y2 = -8
Now, just plug in the numbers:
m = (7 - -8)/(3-4)
m = 15/-1
m = -15
Your slope is -15.

A cube with a side of 1m was sawn into cubes with a side of 1 cm and then laid in a row (in a straight line). What was the lengt

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

10 km

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of cube = s^3

1 m = 100 cm

volume = s^3 = (1 m)^3 = (100 cm)^3 = 1,000,000 cm^3

Since 1 m^3 = 1,000,000 cm^3, when you lay down the 1-cm cubes in a straight line with the edges touching, the line is 1,000,000 cm long.

1,000,000 cm = 10,000 m = 10 km

Me. Silvera bought a can of paint. He used 3/8 of it to paint a fence and 1/4 to paint a table top. He painted a chair with some

LuckyWell [14K]

Well, seeing the information above, he used 5/8 of paint to paint the fence and table top. If he only had 1/8 left of the paint, he used 2/8 on the chair.

I found the 5/8 because I needed a common denominator. I multiplied the top and bottom by 2 to get 2/8. 3/8+2/8=5/8, and then I added 2/8 to the 5/8 that then gave me 7/8 of paint used, and 1/8 of paint left.

Hope I helped!
