Find the slope of the line that passes through (6, 7) and (2, 10). and simplify if needed thx guys.

Answer:

$-\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation for finding the slope of a line when given two points is $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ , aka the change in y over the change in x.

pick one of your coordinate pairs to be $y_2\\$ and $x_2$ . it doesn't matter which coordinate pair you choose as long as you keep them as $y_2\\$ and $x_2$ . the remaining coordinate pair will be $y_1$ and $x_1$ .

for this example, i'll use (2, 10) for $y_2\\$ and $x_2$ and (6, 7) for $y_1$ and $x_1$ .

<em>**before i begin, i just want to note that you can do these next four steps in any order that you want. i personally prefer to plug in my y-values first and then my x-values, but you can choose to instead plug in the values of each coordinate pair (like starting by plugging in the coordinate pair (2, 10) with 10 for </em> $y_2\\$ and 2 for $x_2$ <em>). it's up to you. i'm going to explain the steps by plugging in my y-values first and then my x-values because that's the way i normally do it.</em>

<em />

first, start by plugging in the y-value from the coordinate pair of your choosing in for $y_2\\$ . since i chose (2, 10) for $y_2\\$ and $x_2$ , i'll plug in 10 for $y_2\\$ .

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ ⇒ $\frac{10-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

then plug in the remaining coordinate pair's y-value in for $y_1$ . since the coordinate pair that's left is (6, 7), i will plug in 7 for $y_1$ .

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ ⇒ $\frac{10-7}{x_2-x_1}$

now i'm going to plug in the x-values. i chose (2, 10) to plug in for $y_2\\$ and $x_2$ , so now i'll plug in 2 for $x_2$ .

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ ⇒ $\frac{10-7}{2-x_1}$

and all that's left to plug in is the x-value from (6, 7), so i will plug that in for $x_1$ .

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ ⇒ $\frac{10-7}{2-6}$

after plugging in all the values, you have $\frac{10-7}{2-6}$ .

subtract 10 - 7 as well as 2 - 6.

$\frac{10-7}{2-6}$ ⇒ $\frac{3}{-4}$

$\frac{3}{-4}$ cannot be simplified, therefore the slope of the line is $\frac{3}{-4}$ or $-\frac{3}{4}$ .

i hope this helps! have a lovely day <3

Congruent angle pairs : Find value of x

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

(Opt.B) 18

Step-by-step explanation:

4x = 2y - x (vertically opposite angles are equal)

4x + x = 2y

5x = 2y ----- (1)

4x + 2y + x = 180 (Linear pair angles)

5x + 2y = 180

From (1) we can understand that, the value of 5x and 2y is the same. So,

5x + 5x = 180

10x = 180

x = 180/10

x = 18

Just completing,

Putting the value of x in (1)

5*18 = 2y

90 = 2y

90/2 = y

45 = y

Hope you understand

A surveyor is measuring the distance across a canyon. He sets up two similar right triangles and finds that the length of CD = 1

Citrus2011 [14]

The length side AB is 64 ft , Option D is the correct answer.

<h3>What is a Right triangle ?</h3>

A triangle that has one angle 90 degree is called Right angled Triangle.

From the figure it can be seen that

The triangle CDE is a right Triangle

Applying Pythagoras theorem to find the length of CE

CE² = 12² + 16²

CE = 20 ft

As both the triangles are similar therefore the ratio of the sides will be equal

BC : CD = AC : CE

48 / 12 = AC / 20

AC = 80ft

As Triangle ABC is also a right angled triangle

Applying Pythagoras theorem to find the length of AB

AC² = BC² +AB²

6400 = 48² +AB²

AB² = 4096

AB = 64 ft

Therefore Option D is the correct answer.

bus a and bus b leave the bus depot at 4pm. Bus a takes 15 minutes to do its route and bus b takes 35 minutes to complete its ro

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

4.35pm is the later time, both buses were together back at the depot.

Reasons;

As bus b did not return his return route until 35 minute after departure.

We can say this was a return route taking 35 minute as the question does not point out length of time getting back. We therefore state it is a return route in the workings to explain how we found the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

4.00 + 0.35 = 4.35 = b

4.00 + 0.15 = 4.15 = a

4.35 is the later time.
