Why does a horizontal line have a slope of 0, but a vertical line has anundened slope?

Mathematics

aleksley [76]3 years ago

<span>The slope of a line is defined as the rate of change on the vertical axis, divided by the rate of change on the horizontal axis, Δy/Δx. So for a horizontal line, the rate of change on the y axis is zero, this means that it's slope will be 0/Δx and for vertical line, x-axis does not change, which make the denominator 0 Δy/0.</span>

Sidana [21]

Answer:

she turned 82 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the unknown angle is A

Now, we know that according to the sine law ,

the ratio of side of a triangle and the sine value of the angle opposite to that side is same . It says that,

if a triangle has 3 sides a,b and c and 3 angles A,B,and C and they are opposite to the sides respectively then,

a/SinA=b/sinB=c/SinC

check the image below in attachment.

From the diagram at attachment.

here , angle A is required.

given, angle C= 30

side b=89 m and c= 48 m

sin law says a/sinA=b/sinB=c/sinC

first we take , b/sinB=c/sinC

or, 89/sinB= 48/sin30

or, sinB=( 89×0.5)/48 =0.92

or, B=68

we know, in every triangle , the sum of 3 angles of a triangle is 180

then, A+B+C=180

or, A=180-B-C= 180 - ( B+C)

=180-(68+30)

or, A = 82

therefore , the required angle is 82 degree.

she turned 82 degrees.

(x - 1)2 = 4<br> how do i do this
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 1)2 = 4

how to get this solved is very simple.

first step to apply is the BODMAS RULE

B..................... bracket

O..................... of

D.....................Division

M.................... multiplication

A..................... addition

S.................... Subtraction

so (x - 1)2 = 4

we have,

2x - 2 = 4 ( by opening the bracket)

collect the like terms

2x = 4+2

divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 6/2

x = 3

to check if your answer is correct put the value of x = 3 into the question and see if the right hand side will equal to the left handside

(x - 1)2 = 4

(3-1)2=4

2(2)=4

4=4.............................. proved
