Answer:

$m=\frac{-1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope <em>m</em>:

$m=\frac{-3-(-1)}{2-(-2)}$

$m=\frac{-3+1}{2+2}$

$m=\frac{-2}{4}$

$m=\frac{-1}{2}$

Fond the area of the shaded sector of circle C to the nearest tenth

Lesechka [4]

Solution

Step 1

Write an expression for the area of sector

$Area\text{ (A) = }\frac{\theta}{360}\times\pi\times r^2$

Where

θ = 52°

π = 3.14

r = 8cm

Step 2

Find the area of the sector after substitution of values into the formula above.

$\begin{gathered} A\text{ =}\frac{52}{360}\times3.14\times8^2 \\ A=29.028cm^2 \end{gathered}$

To the nearest tenth the area of the shaded sector of circle C = 29.0cm²

Enter the equivalent distance in km in the box.

devlian [24]

100 cm = 1m

To find 60 000cm, multiply by 600 :
60 000 cm = 600m

To convert from m to km, divide by 1000 :
600m ÷ 1000 = 0.6km
