The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points A(-6, 6) and B(12, 3). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{3-6}{12-(-6)}=\dfrac{-3}{18}=-\dfrac{3:3}{18:3}=-\dfrac{1}{6}

Therefore we have y=-\dfrac{1}{6}x+b.

Put the coordinates of the point B to the equation:

3=-\dfrac{1}{6}(12)+b

3=-2+b          <em>add 2 to both sides</em>

5=b\to b=5

Answer:

m=-\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\b=5

If measure of angle 1=30, then measure of arc ab=
Mnenie [13.5K]
An arc of a circle has the same measure as the central angle that intercepts it.

Central angle 1 intercepts arc AB.

The measure of central angle 1 is the same as the measure of angle AB.

The measure of arc AB is 30 deg.

Based on the diagram shown, find θ to the nearest degree.
sattari [20]

Answer:

  θ = 38°

Step-by-step explanation:

The lower right triangle is congruent to the upper left triangle, so we have θ and 20° being the two acute angles in the triangle. The law of sines tells you ...

  sin(θ)/9 = sin(20°)/5

  sin(θ) = (9/5)sin(20°)

  θ = arcsin(9/5·sin(20°)) ≈ 38°

___

Another solution to the triangle is θ = 180° -38° = 142°. The diagram clearly shows θ as an acute angle, so we take this second solution to be extraneous.

P(x) = x2 – 1 and q(x)=5(x-1), which expression is equivalent to (p – q)(x)?
Delicious77 [7]
P(x) - q(x) = x²-1 -5(x-1)
= x²-1-5x+5
=x²-5x+4

Scott has a rope 8 metres long. He says, “I need 9 pieces each 0.89 metres long.’’ Will Scott have enough ribbon?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

How did it go from "rope" to "ribbon", therefore, the statement is incorrect. This is a man-made equation that clearly has a mistake. If it was to say, "Will Scott have enough rope?" then the answer will be "YES"
