Answer:

The answer is

<h2>- \frac{3}{10}</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1}

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

A(-2,3) and B(-12,6)

The slope is

m =  \frac{ 6 - 3}{ - 12 -  - 2}  =  \frac{3}{ - 12 + 2}  \\  =   - \frac{3}{10}

We have the final answer as

- \frac{3}{10}

Hope this helps you

11 The sides of two similar triangle are in a ratio of 5:6. The area of the larger triangle is 108.
Elodia [21]

Answer:

The area of the smaller triangle is 75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the ratio of the sides of the similar triangle are 5 : 6

The area if the larger triangle = 108

let us assume that the area of the smaller triangle = m

By the Theorem:

In two similar triangles, the ratio of the areas of similar triangles is the square of the ratio of their sides.

Similarly, here

[tex](\frac{5}{6}) ^2  = \frac{m}{108}[/tex]

⇒\frac{(5)^2}{(6)^2}   = \frac{m}{108}

or, \frac{25}{36}   = \frac{m}{108}  \implies m = \frac{108 \times 25}{36}  = 75

⇒ m = 75

Hence, the area of the smaller triangle is 75.
