Answer: Slope is -1

Using the slope formula, we get

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (0 - 4)/(2 - (-2))

m = (0 - 4)/(2 + 2)

m = -4/4

m = -1

What's going on here is that we subtract the y values 0 and 4 to get -4. This means that we dropped 4 units vertically to go from A to B. This is the rise. So rise = -4

The run is 4 because we moved 4 units to the right to go from A to B. This is found algebraically when we subtracted the x coordinates, so 2 - (-2) = 2 + 2 = 4.

Slope = rise/run = -4/4 = -1

You have the correct answer, assuming you wrote -1. I think your teacher just marked it wrong because you forgot to show steps.

The height of a triangle is 3cm less than twice the base. The area is 10cm2

Kamila [148]

Answer:

The base is 4cm and the height is 5cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a solve the system question. Call H the height of the triangle and B the base. The question tells us:

$H=2B-3$

and

$\frac{B \times H}{2}=10$

Sub the first equation into the second (as H is already isolated). You will end up with a quadratic equation - solve that any way you wish (e.g. quadratic formula). I've provided the factored form below which shows you the roots:

$\frac{B(2B-3)}{2}=10\\\frac{2B^2-3B}{2}=10\\2B^2-3B=20\\2B^2-3B-20=0\\(2B+5)(B-4)=0\\B= - \frac{5}{2},4$

In this question, we take B=4. You can't have a negative side length so the other answer is eliminated. Now sub the value for B into either of the original equations. I'll use the first, again because H is already isolated:

$H=2(4)-3\\H=8-3\\H=5$

Who would have a difficult time responding to this survey question? Select all that apply.

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

18 and 65

Step-by-step explanation:

under 18 would be 17 and under, therefore not including 18 year olds. obviously they are not 19 yet either, so they wouldn't fall into either category, therefore they may be unsure of what to answer.

same with 65 year olds; they are more than 64 year old, but not yet /over/ 65, therefore they would not fit into either category either.

Answer:

5/8 of a quart.

Step-by-step explanation:

That would be 28/32 - 1/4

= 28/32 - 8 /32

= 20/32
