Find the slope of the line (4,5),(-3,-1)

koban [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

${ \rm{slope = \frac{y _{2} - y _{1} }{x _{2} - x _{1} } }} \\$

• y2 → -1

• y1 → 5

• x1 → 4

• x2 → -3

${ \tt{slope = \frac{ - 1 - 5}{ - 3 - 4} }} \\ \\ { \tt{slope = \frac{ - 6}{ - 7} }} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \tt{ \: slope = \frac{6}{7} }}}$

the first few steps in solving the quadratic equation 5x2 27x = 14 − 13x by completing the square are shown. 5x2 27x = 14 − 13x

Artist 52 [7]

The best step to do next is to add 80 to both sides of equation:
5 ( x² + 8 x ) + 80 = 14 + 80
and since 80 = 5 · 16
5 ( x² + 8 x + 16 ) = 94 Answer : B )
After that we will continue like this:
5 ( x + 4 )² = 94
( x + 4 )² = 18.8 ... etc
