Answer:

2. 1080

3. 56

4. $1665

Step-by-step explanation:

2. 1080 (/6), 180 (/6), 30 (/6), 5

3. 4(6 + 8) = 4 x 14 = 56

4. $75 + 30(53) = $75 + 1590 = $1665

NEED HELP ASAP 30 POINTS WILL BE GIVEN TO BRAINLIEST

WINSTONCH [101]

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

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

we have

$G(-1,3)\ H(1,2)\ J(-3,-1)$

Step 1

<u>Find the slope GH</u>

$G(-1,3)\ H(1,2)$

substitute in the formula

$m=\frac{2-3}{1+1}$

$m=\frac{-1}{2}$

$mGH=-\frac{1}{2}$

Step 2

<u>Find the slope HJ</u>

$H(1,2)\ J(-3,-1)$

substitute in the formula

$m=\frac{-1-2}{-3-1}$

$m=\frac{-3}{-4}$

$mHJ=\frac{3}{4}$

Step 3

<u>Find the slope JG</u>

$J(-3,-1)\ G(-1,3)$

substitute in the formula

$m=\frac{3+1}{-1+3}$

$m=\frac{4}{2}$

$mJG=2$

Step 4

Verify if triangle GHJ is a right triangle

we know that

if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal to minus one

so

$m1*m2=-1$

compare slope GH with slope JG

we have

$mGH=-\frac{1}{2}$

$mJG=2$

$-\frac{1}{2}*2=-1$ -----> side GH and side JG are perpendicular

The triangle GHJ is a right triangle

Write an equation to fit these points (0,4) (5,6) (10,9) (15,12)

Daniel [21]

Answer:

y=3/5x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(9-6)/(10-5)=3/5

y=3/5(x-5)+6

y=3/5x+3

I think (0,4) in this problem is weird.
