The <em>correct answer</em> is:

To draw arcs of a given size.

Explanation:

A compass is a tool used to draw a circle. Since an arc is a part of a circle, the most direct use of a compass would be to draw arcs of a given size.

Which equation represents the line that passes through the points (–3, 7) and (9, –1)?

galben [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we find the slope

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

(-3,7)....x1 = -3 and y1 = 7

(9,-1)...x2 = 9 and y2 = -1

now we sub

slope(m) = (-1 - 7) / (9 - (-3) = -8 / (9 + 3) = -8 / 12 reduces to - 2/3

y = mx + b

slope(m) = -2/3

use either of ur points...I will use (-3,7)...x = -3 and y = 7

now we sub and find b, the y intercept

7 = -2/3(-3) + b

7 = 2 + b

7 - 2 = b

5 = b

so ur equation is : y = -2/3x + 5 <===

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = - 1/3x + 4 and passes through the point (6, 5)?

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

$y=-\frac{1}{3}x+7$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two lines are parallel then their slopes are equal

The equation of the given line is

$y=-\frac{1}{3}x+4$

the slope is $m=-\frac{1}{3}$

the slope of the parallel line to the given line is also $m=-\frac{1}{3}$

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (6, 5)

we have

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

$point\ (6,5)$

The equation of the line in point slope form is

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

substitute

$y-5=-\frac{1}{3}(x-6)$

Convert to slope intercept form

$y=mx+b$

isolate the variable y

$y-5=-\frac{1}{3}x+2$

$y=-\frac{1}{3}x+2+5$

$y=-\frac{1}{3}x+7$
