Wich expression can be used to find the slope of a line containing the points (-3,2) and (7,-1)

1 answer:

6 0

$A(x_1;\ y_1);\ B(x_2;\ y_2)\\\\\text{The slope:}\ m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\text{We have:}\\(-3;\ 2)\to\ x_1=-3;\ y_1=2\\(7;\ -1)\to x_2=7;\ y_2=-1$

$\text{substitute}\\\\m=\dfrac{-1-2}{7-(-3)}=\dfrac{-3}{10}=-\dfrac{3}{10}$

PLEASE HELP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

You may or may not need to include the units.

A = 18x - 18

P = 6x + 6

Graph is attached below. (2, 18)

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the information we need, "l" and "w", into the formulas.

l is for length, 6cm.

w is for width, (3x - 3)cm.

Use the formula for area of a rectangle.

A = lw

A = (6)(3x-3)cm²

A = (18x - 18)cm² or 18x - 18

Use the formula for perimeter of a rectangle.

P = 2(l + w)

P = 2(6 + (3x - 3))cm

P = 2(3x + 3)cm

P = (6x + 6)cm or 6x + 6

Linear equations are written in the form y = mx + b, so we do not need to factor or further simplify the formulas.

To graph, first turn the "m" value into a fraction form.

8 -> 8/1

6 -> 6/1

You need two points to graph each line.

For each equation, the first point is on the y-axis at the "b" value. Then use the "m" in the equation to count the number of units up (numerator) and to the right (denominator).

The solution is (2,18)

Which of the following do not have precise definitions in geometry. Select the two correct answers

guapka [62]

Answer:

2 and 5

Point and line.

Step-by-step explanation:

In geometry, there are many terms and jargons Mathematicians make use of.

Angle is one of the term used in geometry which depicts any form of inclination.

Segment is also use to analyze and to solve many questions.

Lines are used to join one segment or the other.

Point and ray are also used but are majorly used in optics

Asking that Which of the following do not have precise definitions in geometry.

The best answer are point and line.

Because there is no specific definition for the two variables.

Tony separates a number of paintbrushes, x, into 3 equally sized groups. He claims that this is the same as making a group 1/3 t

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Size of each group = $\frac{x}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of paint brushes = x

Since each the three groups are equally sized, to get the number of paintbrushes in a group, we will have to divide the total number of paint brushes by 3

∴ We have, number of paint brushes in a group = $\frac{Total number of paintbrushes}{3}\\$
