Here's an example...
So, in our last example...
In the point ( -2, -1 ), x1 = -2 and y1 = -1 ... and, in the point ( 4, 3 ), x2 = 3 and y2 = 3
m = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 ) = ( 3 - ( -1 ) ) / ( 4 - ( -2 ) ) = 4 / 6 = 2 / 3
But, notice something cool...
The order of the points doesn't matter! Let's switch them and see what we get:
In the point ( 4, 3 ), x1 = 4 and y1 = 3 ... and, in the point ( -2, -1 ), x2 = -2 and y2 = -1
m = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 ) = ( -1 - 3 ) / ( -2 - 4 ) = -4 / -6 = 2 / 3 ... Same thing!
Let's try our new formula with the second example in the last lesson:
It was a line passing through
( -1, 4 ) and ( 2, -2 )
m = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 ) = ( -2 - 4 ) / ( 2 - ( -1 ) ) = -6 / 3 = -2
2 / 10 = 1/5
3/5 > 1/5
3 > 1
Hence, 3/5 is greater than 2/10
Step-by-step explanation:
18.029= (1×10)+(8×1)+(2×1100)+(9×1100)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x^3+4x^2)−(6x^2−2x−9)
To find the opposite of 6x^2−2x−9 find the opposite of each term.
5x^3+4x^2−6x^2+2x+9
Combine 4x^2 and 6x^2 to get −2x^2.
5x^3-2x^2+2x+9
You could use change of base formula
