Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

OK... You have to use this formula: <u>Y2 - Y1</u>

                                                          X2 - X1

  • -2 represents X1
  • 7 represents Y1
  • 2 represents X2
  • -5 represents Y2    

<u>Y2 - Y1</u>

X2 - X1

<u>-5 - 7</u>

2 - - 2

<u>-12</u>

-2

Simplify by dividing both -12 & -2 by 2: <u>-6</u>

                                                                 -1

It's either <u>-6</u> or it's just -6 by itself... Really sorry if I'm wrong...

                -1

Well, a linear equation should look like this: y = ax + b.

So if the slope is 0, then y = a*0 + b = b.

If y = b, then the line is a horizontal line like this:    ______________

Now, we look at the points that were given in the question: (-2, 7), (2, -5)

If the slope is 0, then the value of y, should not change, but the value of x will constantly be changing. So it means that as x increases, y is always the same.

If we look at the y place on the points: The y values are the bold numbers:

(-2, 7), (2, -5)

As you can see, 7 is not the same as -5. So the line's slope is not 0. The slope would be a negative number. Why? Well, 7 is above the x-axis and -5 is below the x-axis. For the x values, -2 is smaller than 2, so the point (-2, 7) is located at the top left quadrant and the point (2, -5) is located at the bottom right quadrant.

So to answer your question, the slope is not zero. The slope is negative.

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-2, 1) and (0, -3)?
sergeinik [125]

the answer is c. -2

to find slope you do

y2-y1/x2-x1

in this case it’s

-3-1/0- -2

which simplifies to

-4/2 = -2

Triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle with side AB, BC, and AC. If side BC is equal to 10 cm what is the measure of side AC?
nordsb [41]

Answer:

AC = 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We are givne with a triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle with side AB, BC, and AC. We are given that side BC is equal to 10 cm . We are required to find the measurement of side AC.

The basic property of any equilateral triangle is that all the sides are equal. Hence

AB = BC = CA

BC=10 cm

Hence, AB = 10 cm and also AC=10 cm

Answer:

∠ QPR = 125°

Step-by-step explanation:

the angles subtended by 2 congruent arcs are congruent , that is

5x = 4x + 25 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

x = 25

Then

∠ QPR = 4x + 25 = 4(25) + 25 = 100 + 25 = 125°
