Answer: y = -x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to find the slope of the line we will use: (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

Using the two points, we get: (8-1)/(1-8)

Simplify it: 7/-7

Finally, the slope is -1

We can now write: y = -x + b

Next we will plug in a point into the equation we have:

(8,1) --> 1 = -8 + b Then solve algebraically

b = 9

Then finish the equation:

y = -x + 9

Answer:

x = 62

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangle has two values that are the same like your 6s that means that they have the same angle, so you take the angle(56 degrees) and subtract 180 and 56 making 124. You take 124 and divide it by 2. Making x =62.

Find the measurement of Angle SPQ

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

146 °

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of angles in circle = 360°

360 - 154-60-86 = 60

60 = UPS

SPQ = UPS + QUP = 60 + 86 = 146°

A pedestrian walks 7.4 kilometers west

attashe74 [19]

Answer: 11.8 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The resulting figure is a right angled triangle shown below

$Apply the Pythagorean theorem to find out the magnitude of the resultant vector $A B$ in the triangle $A B C$ as follows -$$\begin{aligned}&A B^{2}=B C^{2}+C A^{2} \text { (Hypotenuse }{ }^{2}=\text { Base }^{2}+\text { Adjacent }^{2} \text { ) } \\&=7.4^{2}+9.2^{2} \\&=139.4 \\&A B=11.806777 \\&\quad A B \approx 11.8 \mathrm{~km} \text { (Rounded off to the nearest tenth) }\end{aligned}$

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM

mestny [16]

Hi, I believe the answer is Donna makes 0.2 revolutions per foot of distance traveled and the slope of the graph is 1/5.

To find the number of revolutions per minute you find a point on the graph where the x line and the y line match up, such as (2, 10) then you divide the amount of revolutions in ten feet by ten to find the amount in just one foot, 0.2.

To find the slope of the graph you pick two points on it such as (2, 10) and (4, 20) and subtract the first y coordinate from the second (4 - 2) and do the same with the x coordinates (20 - 10). Then you divide the difference in the y coordinates by the difference in the x coordinates to get the 2/10, then simplify to get 1/5.

Hope this is helpful and not too drawn out :)
