Answer:

-2 $\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The line passes through points (1,4) and (4,-4)

Slope (m) = change in y ÷ change in x

i.e m = $\frac{-4 - 4}{4 - 1} = \frac{-8}{3} = -2\frac{2}{3}$

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1,-5) and (3,5)?

Answer:

a) 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Put them into slope intercept form AKA y=mx+b: -5=m1+b and 5=m3+b

Subtract the equations to get -10=-2m

Divide both sides by two to get: 5=m

Hope this helps! (^-^)

Find the slope between (3,2) and (-2,3)

blagie [28]

$(x_1;\ y_1);\ (x_2;\ y_2)\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\(3;\ 2);\ (-2;\ 3)\\\\\boxed{m=\dfrac{3-2}{-2-3}=\dfrac{1}{-5}=-\dfrac{1}{5}}$

A triangle has sides with lengths of 60 centimeters, 63 centimeters, and 87 centimeters. Is it a right triangle

lozanna [386]

We can check this by seeing if Pythagorean's theorem applies. The longest side is the hypotenuse, so let's see if this is true:
$60^2+63^2 = 87^2$
$7569 = 7569$

This is, indeed correct, thus, this is a right triangle.
