Answer:

a = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula and equate to - 2

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (a, 3)

m = \frac{3+1}{a+3} = \frac{4}{a+3} = - 2 ( multiply both sides by a + 3 )

- 2(a + 3) = 4 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

a + 3 = - 2 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

a = - 5

Answer:

a=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

When you do this every time the slope will go down 2 and over 1 which is rise over run or slope. You can see the y coordinates go down 4 points and every time is should go down 2 so you will know that it would have gone down 2 times so a+2 should equal -3 so if we subtract 2 from both sides we would get a=-5 and that is our answer.

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding it, so this is basically just negative 8 plus 6, which is -2. Don't know who was right though, you kinda left that part of the question out.

Sofia cuts a piece of felt in the shape of a kite for an art project. The top two sides measure 20 cm each and the bottom two si
Phantasy [73]

x + y  = 24       where x and y are the 2 parts of diagonal Other diagonal wil be smaller that 24. 
x^2 + z^2 = 13^2
y^2 + z^2  = 20^2            where z  = 0.5 * length of smaller diagonal)

form last 2 equations

y^2 - x^2  = 20^2 - 13^2  =  231
 now y = 24-x so we have

(24 - x)^2    - x^2 = 231

576 - 48x = 231

48x = 345

x =  7.1875

z^2  =  13^2 - 7.1875^2 =  117.34
z =  1.83

so smaller diagonal = 21.66 cm


looks like its the third choice.

ira [324]

Answer:

a = 0,-1

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + a=0

Factor out an a

a(a+1) =0

Using the zero product property

a=0   a+1 =0

a=0  a= -1
