Answer:

-5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is rise over run which means that the -5 will apply to your y values and the 4 will apply to your x values. This slope would have a point move down 5 units and to the right 4 units to get the location of the next point when going left to right. Because the slope contains a negative, the slope will be angled downward left to right. The negative only applies to the 5.

Cerrena [4.2K]

$\bf \begin{cases}
x=-\frac{1}{2}\implies &x+\frac{1}{2}=0\\\\
x=\frac{1}{4}\implies &x-\frac{1}{4}=0
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\left( x+\frac{1}{2} \right)\left( x-\frac{1}{4} \right)=\stackrel{y}{0}\implies \stackrel{FOIL}{x^2+\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{1}{8}}=y$

In triangle ABC, angle A is 75o and angle B is 20o. Select the triangle that is similar to triangle ABC.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

A. $\triangle$ DEF where $\angle D = 75^{\circ}$ and $\angle E = 20^{\circ}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

At first we must keep in mind that two triangles are similar when they have same angle configuration, that is, each pair of angles is congruent. If $\triangle$ ABC and $\triangle$ DEF, then $\angle A \equiv \angle D$ and $\angle B \equiv \angle E$ . Hence, $\angle D = 75^{\circ}$ and $\angle E = 20^{\circ}$ .
