Answer:

"a" must be negative

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope between points (-1, 1) and (1, -1) is a minimum of (-1-1)/(1-(-1)) = -1.

The slope between points (1, -1 and (3, -4) is a maximum of (-4-(-1))/(3-1) = -3/2.

Thus, as x increases, the slope is decreasing. In order for that to be the case, the value of <em>a</em> must satisfy a < 0.

Answer:

8/15

Step-by-step explanation:

you first want to change your whole number, 4, into a fraction so all you have to do is add a 1 in the denominator so it will be 4/1

then you multiply across

2/15 * 4/1

you first multiply 2 and 4 and your answer will be 8 which is the numerator

then multiply 15 and 1 which is 15, the denominator

then you get

8/15

The orthocenter will be inside, on, or outside the scalene triangle, depending on whether it is acute, right, or obtuse, respectively. The number of congruent sides does not affect the location of the orthocenter.
