A line passes through the point(4,-1) and (2,3). What is the slope of the line

1 answer:

7 0

Slope is found using the equation (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
So we can plug the numbers into the equation

(-1)-3/ 4-2
(-1)-3= -4
4-2=2

The equation is now -4/2
-4/2= -2

So the slope of the line is -2

Which can also be written as y=-2x

A)
8^2+9^2=c^264+81=c^2
c^2=145c=sqrt 145c=12.04
B)
Pythagerean Theorum:
A^2+B^2=C^2, where C is the hypotenuse and A and B are the other legs
15^2=9^2+B^2
225=81+B^2
225-81=B^2
144=B^2 (square root both sides)
12=B

Hey!

Your answer is C.42.4yd

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 ways you can work this on out...

1. Using Pythagoras Theorem...

= 30^2 + 30^2 = 1,800 (30^2=900 so you've added 2 of those to make 1,800)

= SQUARE ROOT THE ANSWER OF 1,800
