The formula of a slope m:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points (0, -1) and (5, -2). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{-2-(-1)}{5-0}=\dfrac{-2+1}{5}=-\dfrac{1}{5}$

<h3>Answer: The slope = -1/5</h3>

31.) State the slope of the line shown below.

Murljashka [212]

The answer is undefined

The slope of a line can be positive, negative, zero, or undefined. A horizontal line has slope zero since it does not rise vertically (i.e. y1 − y2 = 0), while a vertical line has undefined slope since it does not run horizontally (i.e. x1 − x2 = 0).

caleb and emily are standing 100 yards from each other. caleb looks up at a 45 degree angle to see a hot air balloon. Emily look

Check the picture below.

thus then

$\bf \begin{cases}
y=100-a\\
y=a\sqrt{3}
\end{cases}\implies 100-a=a\sqrt{3}\implies 100=a+a\sqrt{3}
\\\\\\
100=a(1+\sqrt{3})\implies \boxed{\cfrac{100}{1+\sqrt{3}}=a}
\\\\\\
\textit{what is the altitude \underline{y} then?}\qquad y=100-a
\\\\\\
y=100-\cfrac{100}{1+\sqrt{3}}\implies y\approx 63.39745962156~yards$
