Step-by-step explanation:

$slope = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

(-5-(-10)/(-2-(-9)=

5/7=slope

X^2 - y^2 = 100

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by rewriting the second equation in terms of "x":

$x+y=5$

Subtract y from both sides:

$x=5-y$

Now, substitute "5-y" for "x" in the first equation:

$(5-y)^2-y^2=100$

Note that:

$(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2$

$25-10y+y^2-y^2=100$

Cancel out like terms:

$25-10y=100$

Subtract 25 from both sides:

$-10y=75$

Divide both sides by -10

$y=\frac{75}{-10}=\frac{15}{-2}=-\frac{15}{2}$

Now, substitute this value back into either of the equations to solve for x.

$x+y=5\\x-\frac{15}{2}=5\\$

Add 15/2 to both sides:

$x=5+\frac{15}{2}\\x=\frac{10}{2}+\frac{15}{2}\\x=\frac{25}{2}$

Now, find the difference:

$x-y=\frac{25}{2}-(-\frac{15}{2})=\frac{25}{2}+\frac{15}{2}=\frac{40}{2}=20$

How do I construct bisectors, angles, & segments?

Doss [256]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

These come directly from my textbook, so I'm not sure if your teacher will accept this kind of work.

1. Angle construction:

Given an angle. construct an angle congruent to the given angle.

Given: Angle ABC

Construct: An angle congruent to angle ABC

Procedure:

1. Draw a ray. Label it ray RY.

2. Using B as center and any radius, draw an arc that intersects ray BA and ray BC. Label the points of intersection D and E, respectively.

3. Using R as center and the same radius as in Step 2, draw an arc intersecting ray RY. Label the arc XS, with S being the point where the arc intersects ray RY.

4. Using S as center and a radius equal to DE, draw an arc that intersects arc XS at a point Q.

5. Draw ray RQ.

Justification (for congruence): If you draw line segment DE and line segment QS, triangle DBE is congruent to triangle QRS (SSS postulate) Then angle QRS is congruent to angle ABC.

You can probably also Google videos if it's hard to imagine this. Sorry, construction is super hard to describe.
