Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2,-2) , (5,-5)

Slope=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\\=\frac{-5-(-2)}{5-(-2)}\\\\=\frac{-5+2}{5+2}\\\\=\frac{-3}{7}\\

(-2,-2), m= -3/7

Line equation: y -y1 =m*(x -x1)

y-(-2) = -(-3/7)(x - [-2])

y+2=\frac{-3}{7}*(x+2)\\\\y+2=\frac{-3}{7}*x+(\frac{-3}{7})*2\\\\y+2=\frac{-3}{7}x-\frac{6}{7}\\\\y=\frac{-3}{7}x-\frac{6}{7}-2\\\\y=\frac{-3}{7}x-\frac{6}{7}-\frac{2*7}{1*7}\\\\y=\frac{-3}{7}x-\frac{6}{7}-\frac{14}{7}\\\\y=\frac{-3}{7}x-\frac{20}{7}

Answer:

y = -(3/7)x - 20/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope: (-5 - -2)/(5 - -2)

= -3/7

y = (-3/7)x + c

-2 = (-3/7)(-2) + c

-2 - 6/7 = c

c = -20/7

y = -(3/7)x - 20/7

The sum of the measures of seven angles of an octagon is 1000 degrees fine the measure of the eighth angle
horrorfan [7]
Now, we're assuming this is for interior angles.

the sum of all the interior angles in a polygon is

180(n - 2)   n = number of sides in a polygon.

now, this is an OCTAgon, it has OCTA=8 sides, so it has a sum of its interior angles at 180( 8 - 2) --> 180(6) ---> 1080°.

now, we already know seven of those eight angles add up to 1000, so... surely you'd know what the last one is.

Suppose three candidates are running in the texas democratic primary for governor. what happens if candidate x wins 45% of the v
mash [69]
Winners in primary elections in TX are determined by majority vote. If no candidate receives 50% of the vote, then the top 2 candidates proceed to a run-off election.

So in the above problem, since nobody received the majority vote of 50%, the candidate X and candidate Y are going to proceed to a run-off election to determine the democratic candidate for governor

masha68 [24]
1 hour and 10 minutes = 70 total minutes
The aerobics class is 20 minutes and then since the yoga class is 30 minutes longer it will then be 50 minutes.
20 minutes aerobic+50 minutes yoga= 70 total minutes

The shortest leg of a triangle is 1 feet shorter than the other leg.The hypotenuse of this triangle is 5 feet. what are the leng
givi [52]

Answer:

  • shortest: 3 ft
  • other: 4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The right triangle with hypotenuse 5 that has legs that differ by 1 is the 3-4-5 right triangle. The legs are 3 ft and 4 ft.

__

<em>Alternate solution</em>

If you have never heard of a 3-4-5 right triangle, you can figure the leg lengths algebraically using the Pythagorean theorem. Let x represent the length of the "other" leg. Then the shortest is (x-1). The Pythagorean theorem tells you ...

  5^2 = (x)^2 +(x -1)^2

  25 = 2x^2 -2x +1

  12 = x^2 -x = x(x -1)

Factors of 12 that differ by 1 are 3 and 4 or -3 and -4. We want x to be positive, so the value of interest is x=4

The "other" leg is 4 ft; the shortest leg is 3 ft.

Which of the following best describes an unpredictable event?​
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

B. The weather on a particular day a year from now

Step-by-step explanation:

We can only predict the weather in the near future, not long term or all time. The rest of the answer choices are predictable. We will always know the age of a person 10 years from now, we can predict the rating of the movie if we preview and watch it, and if a student studies enough/not enough we can predict the type of grade they will get on a test.
