Hi there, KawallPotato! :)

Finding the slope of a line is finding the rise over run, or the change in y over the change in x. Let me show you what I mean.

Slope = change in y / change in x

Or in other words, \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

Let's try it with AB. The first thing to consider is the placement of the letters. The blank space is asking for the slope of point A to point B, which means that the coordinates of A are your y₁ and x₁ values and the coordinates of B are your y₂ and x₂ values.

Put them in the equation like this:

\frac{2 - (-1)}{-1 - (-4)}

2 - (-1) is a double negative, so it becomes 2 + 1, which is 3.

-1 - (-4) turns into -1 + 4 for the same reason. The change in x is also 3.

\frac{3}{3} = 1, so the slope of line AB is 1.


Using the same method, we can solve the next three problems.

Coordinates of B: (-1, 2)

Coordinates of C: (5, 1)

Slope: \frac{1 - 2}{5 - (-1)} = \frac{-1}{5+1} = -\frac{1}{6}

The slope of BC is -1/6.


Coordinates of C: (5, 1)

Coordinates of D: (1, -3)

Slope: \frac{1 - (-3)}{5 - 1} = \frac{1 + 3}{5 -1} = \frac{4}{4}, so the slope is 1.


Coordinates of A: (-4, -1)

Coordinates of D: (1, -3)

Slope: \frac{-1 - (-3)}{1 - (-4)} =  -\frac{2}{5}

The slope is -\frac{2}{5}.


Quadrilateral ABCD is not a parallelogram because it has only one pair of parallel opposite sides.

I hope this was helpful. Have a great day. :D

Each number after the first is derived in the same way from the previous number. What is the number that logically follows 63?
alexdok [17]

The number that logically follows 63 would be 31.

arithmetic progression

We arrive at this logical conclusion by finding the common difference between the second number (94) and (63) in the arithmetic series.

That is, 94 - 63 = 31

Adding this common difference (31) in reversal would lead to the same logical order: 31+63 = 94. Hence, 31 is the number that logically follows 63. Remember, once we know the common difference in the numeric series, it allows us what number should logically follow.

Find the area of the circle.. PLEASE HELP
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The area is 154 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the formula for the area of a circle is pi times the radius squared, divide the diameter in half to get the radius (7). Then, square the radius (49). Next, multiply that by pi (153.938). After that round to the nearest whole number (154). Hope that helps!

HELP PLZ.....I NEED THIS....One wheel of a bicycle has 24-inch diameter. About how many feet will the bicycle travel when the wh
Ne4ueva [31]
First, find the circumference of the wheel using C=2 \pi r

You know that your diameter is 24. To find the radius, divide the diameter by 2, which is 12.

Input 12 as r and simplify. ->  C=2 \pi (12)
C=24 \pi

estimate your Pi as 3.14
C=24(3.14)

and multiply. C=75.36

Now you know the distance of one full revolution in inches. To find 200 revolutions, multiply that answer by 200.

75.36 * 200 = 15,072 inches

But because this is in inches, you have to find the answer in feet, so just divide that answer by 12.

15,072 / 12 = 1,256 ft

What annual rate of interest would you have to earn on an investment of $3500 to ensure receiving $273.00 interest after 1 year?
kogti [31]

To find the answer, we will have to find the percentage of $273 to $ 3500, and we can use the formula:

\frac{interest received}{investment amount} \times 100%

In this case:

273/3500 x 100%

=39/500 x 100%

=7.8%

Therefore the annual interest rate would be 7.8%.

Hope it helps!
