Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

take two points on the line ,i take (-4,0) and (0,-2)

slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(-2-0)/(0+4)=-2/4=-1/2

Answer: -1/2

Step-by-step explanation: In algebra, we use the word slope to describe how steep a line is and slope can be found using the ratio rise/run between any 2 points that are on that line.

So for the line you see here, I have labeled 2 distinct points. One of the points crosses the x-axis and one of them crosses the y-axis. let's use the points A and B to find its slope.

To get from point A to point B, we must first go down 2 units so our rise is -2 and our run is 4 units. So our slope or rise/run is -2/4.

As a last step to these problems, make sure you have reduced your slope as much as possible and notice that -2/4 can be reduced to -1/2.

The variable that's used to represent slope is m.

So we can say that m = -1/2.

This net can be folded to make a square pyramid. what is the surface area of the pyramid

givi [52]

Answer:

$85in^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the surface area we need to find the followng areas:

area of the square

area of a triangle and multiply it by 4 (because there are 4 triangles)

And once we have those areas, we add them to find the surface area.

Area of the square:

the formula to find the area of a square is:

$a_{square}=l^2$

where $l$ is the length of the side: $l=5in$

thus the area of the square is:

$a_{square}=(5in)^2$

$a_{square}=25in^2$

Area of the triangles:

the are of 1 triangle is given by

$a_{triangle} =\frac{b*h}{2}$

where $b$ is the base of the triangle: $b=5in$ (the base of the triangle is the side of the square)

and $h$ is the height of the triangle: $h=6in$

thus, the area of 1 triangle is:

$a_{triangle} =\frac{(5in)*(6in)}{2}$

$a_{triangle} =\frac{30in^2}{2}$

$a_{triangle} =15in^2$

the area of the 4 triangles is (we multiply by 4):

$a_{4-triangles}=4(15in^2)$

$a_{4-triangles}=60in^2$

finally we add the area of the square and the area of the 4 triangles to find the total surface area:

$Surface=25in^2+60in^2$

$Surface=85in^2$

The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 75. Find the integers.

makkiz [27]

Answer:

23, 25, and 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first odd integer be k.

Since the three numbers are consecutive odd integers, the second is given by (k + 2) and the third by (k + 4).

Their sum is 75. Hence:

$k + (k + 2) + (k + 4) = 75$

Solve for k. Combine like terms:

$3k + 6 = 75$

Subtract:

$3k = 69$

And divide:

$k = 23$

Therefore, the first number is 23.

In conclusion, the three consecutive, odd integers are 23, 25, and 27.
