In this question, you're finding the slope with the given points.

To find slope, you would use this equation:

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Plug in the coordinates and solve:

(12 - 14) / (-6 - ( -10))

-2 / (-6 + 10)

-2 / 4

simplify:

-1/2

The slope of the line would be -1/2

Answer:

-1/2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\triangle CDE \sim \triangle GDF.. (given) \\\\\therefore \frac{CD}{GD} =\frac{DE}{DF}.. (csst) \\\\\therefore \frac{15}{x+3} =\frac{3x+1}{4}\\\\ \therefore \: 15 \times 4 = (x + 3)(3x + 1) \\ \\ \therefore \: 60 = 3 {x}^{2} + x + 9x + 3 \\ \\ \therefore 3 {x}^{2} + 10x + 3 - 60 = 0 \\ \therefore 3 {x}^{2} + 10x - 57 = 0 \\ \therefore 3 {x}^{2} + 19x - 9x - 57 = 0 \\ \therefore \: x(3x + 19) - 3(3x + 19) = 0 \\\therefore \: (3x + 19)(x - 3) = 0 \\ \therefore \: 3x + 19 = 0 \: \: or \: \: x - 3 = 0 \\ \therefore \: x = - \frac{19}{3} \: \: or \: \: x = 3 \\ \because \: x \: can \: not \: be \: - ve \\ \therefore \: x = 3 \\ ED = 3x + 1 = 3 \times 3 + 1 \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ ED= 10}}$

Write the fraction as an equivalent fraction with the given denominator 7/4 = _/20

zzz [600]

Answer:

35/20

Step-by-step explanation:

20 divided by 4 = 5

so our multiple is 5

5 x 4 = 20

so we have to do the same to the numerator

5 x 7 = 35

Simplified= 1 3/5

Which statements are true about the ordered pair (−1, 5) and the system of equations?

{x+y=4 x−y=−6

Select each correct answer.

The ordered pair (−1, 5) is a solution to the first equation because it makes the first equation true.The ordered pair (−1, 5) is a solution to the second equation because it makes the second equation true.The ordered pair (−1, 5) is not a solution to the system because it makes at least one of the equations false.The ordered pair (−1, 5) is a solution to the system because it makes both
