Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Triangle L N P has centroid S.

NS=7x-3, SR=5x-3

To find: NS

Solution:

Centroid is the point of intersection of the medians of the triangle such that it divides each of the median in ratio 2:1

So,

NS:SR=2:1\\\frac{NS}{SR}=\frac{2}{1}  \\

Put NS=7x-3, SR=5x-3

\frac{7x-3}{5x-3}=\frac{2}{1}\\  7x-3=10x-6\\10x-7x=-3+6\\3x=3\\x=1

Therefore,

NS=7x-3=7(1)-3=4\,\,units\\SR=5x-3=5(1)-3=2\,units

So,

NS=NS+SR=4+2=6\,\,units

Find the slope between the two points: (3,-2) and (4,7)
cupoosta [38]
To find slope given two points, there is a formula you can use: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Y2 stands for the second y coordinate and y1 stands for the first y coordinate. The same logic applies to the x's. Let's assume that (3, -2) is x1, y1 and (4,7) is x2, y2. Let's plug them into the formula.

(7-(-2))/(4-3).
7-(-2)=9 for total y value.

4-3=1 for the x value.

Now we divide them.
9/1=9. 9=m. M is the variable commonly used for slope. Hope this helped!

Explain why an inverse variation function is not the best model for the data set?
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

- The products of corresponding x- and y- values of an inverse variation function are constant.

- As x increases, y also increases.

-The product of the coordinate pairs are not equal: (165)(198)=32,670 and (170)(204)=34,680
