Answer:

slope = - $\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

y - 3 = 3 (x + 4) ← is in point- slope form

with slope m = 3

The diagonals of a square are perpendicular to each other.

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{3}$

Thus the slope of FH is - $\frac{1}{3}$

X+y=1<br> x+3y=9<br><br> Solve<br> (First answer gets brainliest)

Firdavs [7]

X + y = 1
x + 3y = 9

Subtract the second equation from the first.
-2y = -8
divide both sides by -2
y = 4

Plug 4 back into either equation and solve for x.
x + y = 1
x + 4 = 1
subtract 4 from each side
x = -3
(-3, 4)

Cos ( α ) = √ 6/ 6 and sin ( β ) = √ 2/4 . Find tan ( α − β )

Zina [86]

Answer:

$\purple{ \bold{ \tan( \alpha - \beta ) = 1.00701798}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\cos( \alpha ) = \frac{ \sqrt{6} }{6} = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{6} } \\ \\ \therefore \: \sin( \alpha ) = \sqrt{1 - { \cos}^{2} ( \alpha ) } \\ \\ = \sqrt{1 - \bigg( {\frac{1}{ \sqrt{6} } \bigg )}^{2} } \\ \\ = \sqrt{1 - {\frac{1}{ {6} }}} \\ \\ = \sqrt{ {\frac{6 - 1}{ {6} }}} \\ \\ \red{\sin( \alpha ) = \sqrt{ { \frac{5}{ {6} }}} } \\ \\ \tan( \alpha ) = \frac{\sin( \alpha ) }{\cos( \alpha ) } = \sqrt{5} \\ \\ \sin( \beta ) = \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{4} \\ \\ \implies \: \cos( \beta ) = \sqrt{ \frac{7}{8} } \\ \\ \tan( \beta ) = \frac{\sin( \beta ) }{\cos( \beta ) } = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{7} } \\ \\ \tan( \alpha - \beta ) = \frac{ \tan \alpha - \tan \beta }{1 + \tan \alpha . \tan \beta} \\ \\ = \frac{ \sqrt{5} - \frac{1}{ \sqrt{7} } }{1 + \sqrt{5} . \frac{1}{ \sqrt{7} } } \\ \\ = \frac{ \sqrt{35} - 1 }{ \sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5} } \\ \\ \purple{ \bold{ \tan( \alpha - \beta ) = 1.00701798}}$

Subtract- a(b-5) from b(5-a)

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

5b - 5a

Step-by-step explanation:

b(5 - a) = 5b - ab

- a(b - 5) = - ab + 5a

Subtracting gives

5b - ab - (- ab + 5a) ← distribute parenthesis by - 1

= 5b - ab + ab - 5a ← collect like terms

= 5b - 5a

Write a linear equation with a slope of 14 and y-intercept -12.

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

y=14x-12

Step-by-step explanation:

in the standard format y=mx+b, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, so this equation would be y=14x-12 since the slope is 14 and the y-intercept is -12.
