Slope of the line formed by points (-1,-2) and (3,-3) is $Slope=\frac{-1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find slope of the line formed by points (-1,-2) and (3,-3)

Finding slope:

The formula used is:

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

here, $x_1=-1,y_1=-2,x_2=3,y_2=-3$

Putting values and finding slope:

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

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

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

$Slope=\frac{-1}{4}$

So, slope of the line formed by points (-1,-2) and (3,-3) is $Slope=\frac{-1}{4}$

The black graph is the graph of y=f(x). Choose the equation for the red graph.

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

y-1 = f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to choose the equation for the ref graph

The red graph as we can see is above the black

This means it is more positive

The difference between the two is just 1 unit

By the addition of 1 to the y-value of the black graph, we get the red

Thus, we have that;

y- 1 = f(x)

A 25-foot ladder is placed against a vertical wall. Suppose the bottom of the ladder slides away from the wall at a constant ra

dsp73

Answer: The ladder is sliding down the wall at a rate of $5\dfrac{17}{50}\ ft/sec$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of ladder = 25 foot

Distance from the wall to the bottom of ladder = 15 feet

Let base be 'x'.

Let length of wall be 'y'.

So, by pythagorus theorem, we get that

$x^2+y^2=25^2\\\\15^2+y^2+625\\\\225+y^2=625\\\\y^2=625-225\\\\y^2=400\\\\y=\sqrt{400}\\\\y=20\ feet$

$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=-4\ ft/sec$

Now, the equation would be

$x^2+y^2=625\\$

Differentiating w.r.t x, we get that

$2x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+2y.\dfrac{dy}{dt}=0\\\\2\times 15\dfrac{dx}{dt}+2\times 20\times -4=0\\\\30\dfrac{dx}{dt}-160=0\\\\\dfrac{dx}{dt}=\dfrac{160}{30}=5.34\ ft/sec$

Hence, the ladder is sliding down the wall at a rate of $5\dfrac{17}{50}\ ft/sec$

13+[8×16-(24+5×b)÷2]÷3-45=0

alexgriva [62]

13 + [128 + (-24 - 5b)/2)]/3 - 45 = 0
(52 - 5b/2)/3 = 32
52/3 - 5b/6 = 32
14.67(6) = -5b
b = 88/-b
b= -17.6
