A student fond the slope of a line that passes through the points (-8,-6) and (2,-3) to be 3/10. what mistake did she make?

1 answer:

4 0

Simple ....

we know to find slope is (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)

if we plug in what we know......

(-8,-6),(2,-3)

(-6--3)/(-8-2)

it turns into...

(-6++3)/(-8+-2)

(-3)/(-10)= 3/10

Thus, your answer is that she made no mistake. (C)

How to find the slope with only the x and y intercepts?

yuradex [85]

If we have the equation of a line: y=ax+b
How to find a if with only the x-intercepts (called m) and y-intercepts (called n)
+ First we have y=0 and x=m or 0=a*m+b or b= -a*m
+ Then we have x=0, y=n or n=a*0+b or b=n
And if m≠0 we have a= -n/m
and if m=0 this line has no slope

HERE'S HOW TO DO IT :)

A composite figure is made up of several simple geometric figures such as triangles, rectangles, squares, circles, and semicircles.

To find the area of a composite figure, separate the figure into simpler shapes whose area can be found. Then add the areas together.

(SEE EXAMPLE ATTACHED)

HERES WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT COMPOSITE FIGURES:

Composite Figures. A figure (or shape) that can be divided into more than one of the basic figures is said to be a composite figure (or shape). For example, figure ABCD is a composite figure as it consists of two basic figures

let me know if i can help more :)
