(4,-2) and (24,-17) finding the slope from points

1 answer:

3 0

Use the equation for the slope:
$slope = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$
The two points are equal to (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).

So choose one of your points to be (x1, y1). Let's choose (4, -2). That means x1 = 4 and y1 = -2.
The other point would then be (x2, y2). So x2 = 24 and y2 = -17.

Now put these values in to the equation:
$Slope = \frac{-17-(-2)}{24-4} = \frac{-15}{20} = \frac{-3}{4}$

The slope is -3/4.

Add 3 feet 6 in add 3 feet 6 in + 8 ft 2 in + 4in + 2ft 5in what does that add up to

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

173 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

i don't entirely understand the question but i think you're trying to add 3 feet 6 inches + 8 feet 2 inches + 4 inches + 2 feet 5 inches?

(3 feet 6 inches) + (8 feet 2 inches) + (4 inches) + (2 feet 5 inches)

i've added these parentheses in order to make it easier to see the grouped measurements. this isn't necessary but i'm just doing it to hopefully aid my explanation since there's so many terms in the expression!

start by converting everything to inches just to make the addition as well as showing your work easier. all you have to do is multiply the amount of feet by 12 because there are 12 inches in a foot! :)

(3 feet 6 inches) + (8 feet 2 inches) + (4 inches) + (2 feet 5 inches)

for your first measurement, 3 feet 6 inches, convert 3 feet to inches by multiplying the amount of feet, 3, by 12.

3(12) = 36 (therefore 3 feet is equal to 36 inches!)

and add the remaining 6 inches.

36 + 6 = 42 (therefore 3 feet 6 inches is equal to 42 inches!)

(3 feet 6 inches) + (8 feet 2 inches) + (4 inches) + (2 feet 5 inches)

for your second measurement, 8 feet 2 inches, convert 8 feet to inches by multiplying the amount of feet, 8, by 12.

8(12) = 96 (therefore 8 feet is equal to 96 inches!)

and add the remaining 2 inches.

96 + 2 = 98 (therefore 8 feet 2 inches is equal to 98 inches!)

(3 feet 6 inches) + (8 feet 2 inches) + (4 inches) + (2 feet 5 inches)

nothing needs to be done to this quantity since it's already in inches.

(3 feet 6 inches) + (8 feet 2 inches) + (4 inches) + (2 feet 5 inches)

for your fourth measurement, 2 feet 5 inches, convert 2 feet to inches by multiplying the amount of feet, 2, by 12.

2(12) = 24 (therefore 2 feet is equal to 24 inches!)

and add the remaining 5 inches.

24 + 5 = 29 (therefore 2 feet 5 inches is equal to 29 inches!)

now, here is the expression with everything in inches.

42 inches + 98 inches + 4 inches + 29 inches aka 42 + 98 + 4 + 29

now add everything up!

42 + 98 + 4 + 29 = 173 inches

your total is 173 inches! i hope this helps and i hope i explained it well enough. have a lovely day! <3

Find the value of x, y, and z in the parallelogram below.

telo118 [61]

The values of x, y, and z of the parallelogram are -19°, -115° and 27°

<h3>What is a parallelogram?</h3>

A parallelogram is a two-dimensional geometrical shape whose sides are parallel to each other. It is a type of polygon having four sides (also called quadrilateral), where the pair of parallel sides are equal in length. The Sum of adjacent angles of a parallelogram is equal to 180 degrees.

for a parallelogram opposite angles are equal

-4x -1 = 75

-4x = 76

x = 76/-4

x = -19°

sum of adjacent angles are supplementary

(-y-10) + 75 = 180

-y + 65 = 180

-y = 180 - 65

-y = 115

y = -115°

Also

4z - 3 + 75 = 180

4z + 72 = 180

4z = 180 - 72

4z = 108

z = 108/4

z = 27°

In conclusion, the values of x = -19, y = -115, z = 27
