Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=-\dfrac{3}{2}x-10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the point (-10, 5) and the slope m = -3/2.

Substitute to the equation of a line:

$5=-\dfrac{3}{2}(-10)+b$

$5=(3)(5)+b$

$5=15+b$ subtract 15 from both sides

$5-15=15-15+b$

$-10=b\to b=-10$

Finally we have:

$\large{y=-\dfrac{3}{2}x-10}$

I need help find the coordinates

stellarik [79]

2×2=4

4÷2=2

4+2=6

4+2+6=12

we know that,

put a number you like anything I will write x°

x°+12°=90°

90°-12°=78°,,

again,

78°-12°=66°,,

now,

remove 6° from 60°

-----

=5,,

Learning Task II. Illustrate the following: Illustration Given 1. Line Segment MN 2. Ray XY 3. Ray YX 4. Angle ABC 5. LK

Mashutka [201]

The illustration of the given mathematical elements is as in the attached images.

<h3>Illustration of mathematical elements</h3>

For line segments;

The beginning and end of the line are specified by the assigned alphabets.

However, for rays;

The ray is illustrated to originate from a point and span on from there till infinity.

For angles;

The alphabet in the middle of the set of 3 alphabets used to identify the angle represents the center point of where the angle is located.

A circle that has a center at the point (3, -2) with a radius of 6. Write an equation for the circle.

crimeas [40]

Answer:

(x – 3)^2+ (y +2)^2 = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

The formula for the equation of a circle is (x – h)2+ (y – k)2 = r^2,

where (h, k) represents the coordinates of the center of the circle

h=3

k=-2

r= 6

Substitute

(x – 3)^2+ (y – (-2))^2 = 6^2

(x – 3)^2+ (y +2)^2 = 36

Hence the expression for the equation of the circle is

(x – 3)^2+ (y +2)^2 = 36

Tell whether the sequence is arithmetic. If it is, identify the common difference.

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Option A is correct not arithmetic

Explanation:

We have given terms $\frac{1}{2},{1}{3},{1}{4}$ these terms are not an arithmetic progression because

Arithmetic progression is the sequence of terms in which difference between successive and proceeding terms is same.

$d=a_2-a_1$

we can see the difference between $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ is $\frac{-1}{6}$

Whereas, the difference between $\frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$ is $\frac{-1}{12}$ .
