The slope is found as follows:

The answer is: slope = -4.
Answer:
altitude = 15 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
you can use the Pythagorean Theorem where you have a right triangle with a base of 8 (half of 16), a hypotenue of 17, and the altitude is 'a'
a² + 8² = 17²
a² + 64 = 289
a² = 225
a = 
a = 15
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
∠2= ∠4 { alternate interior angles}
∠2= 65
∠1 + ∠2 = 180 {linear pair}
∠1 + 65 = 180
∠1 = 180- 65
∠1 = 115
The roots routine will return a column vector containing the roots of a polynomial. The general syntax is
z = roots(p)
where p is a vector containing the coefficients of the polynomial ordered in descending powers.
Given a vector
which describes a polynomial
we construct the companion matrix (which has a characteristic polynomial matching the polynomial described by p), and then find the eigenvalues of it (which are the roots of its characteristic polynomial)
Example
Here is an example of finding the roots to the polynomial
--> roots([1 -6 -72 -27])

Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
=
( cross- multiply )
16x = 80 ( divide both sides by 16 )
x = 5
