What is the slope of (-6,8) and (-6,2)

Mathematics
2 answers:
MrRissso [65]3 years ago

Answer:

Undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for slope is y1-y2/x1-x2

This is where:  

y1 is the y coordinate of the first point

y2 is the y coordinate of the second point

x1 is the x coordinate of the first point

x2 is the x coordinte of the second point

Keep in mind, a point is always (x coordinate, y coordinate)

This said we can plug our values in.

8-2/-6-(-6)

Now, we simplify.

6/0

Since you can't divide a number by 0, the slope of the line would be undefined.

This happens when a line is vertical, and only goes through one x value.

Answer:

Undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

First, slope is change in y over change in x, or rise over run. Plugging these points in (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)=(2-8)/(-6--6), or -6/0. Oh no! You can't divide by 0. Therefore, the slope is undefined.

You can also see this by graphing the line, which is a straight vertical line. Vertical lines have undefined slopes.

Yvonne had a rope that measured 2/5 long. She
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Number of smaller ropes she can make from the larger rope = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of rope = 2/5 ft

Length of smaller rope = 3/5 ft

How many smaller ropes can she make from the larger rope?

Number of smaller ropes she can make from the larger rope = Total length of rope / Length of smaller rope

= 2/5 ÷ 3/5

= 2/5 × 5/3

= (2*5)/(5*3)

= 10/15

= 2/3

Number of smaller ropes she can make from the larger rope = 2/3

Sarah is 6 years older than Amy.
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem has got to be addition.

The sentence "Sarah is 6 years older than Amy." does not include any hint of subtracting, or multiplying.

A hint of multiplying in a expression would be the word 'times', like "Brandon is 6 times the age of Emily" which eliminates D.

A hint of subtraction in an expression would be the word 'less', like "Brandon is 6 less the age of Emily." which eliminates A and C.

The word 'older' indicates addition, or adding, and if it would have been subtraction, the keyword would be 'younger' because you are subtracting their age, like 19 - 11. The same goes with B, but adding.

Finally, we now know that it is B because there is no other addition choice.

I hope this helped. Please correct me if I am wrong.

The sum of a number and five is at least 5?
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Hello! For this type of problem, the sum is addition. Therefore, you add n and 5. The inequality for this question would be n + 5 >= 5. At least would mean a greater than or equal to symbol. If you need the answer as the value of n, n >= 0.

2,-10,50,-250,.. Geometric sequence
nikklg [1K]

This question is incomplete, here is the complete question

What is the recursive formula for this geometric sequence 2, -10, 50, -250, .... ?

The recursive formula for this geometric sequence is:

a_{1} = 2; a_{n} = (-5) • a_{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the recursive formula for a geometric sequence:

  1. Determine if the sequence is geometric (Do you multiply, or divide, the same amount from one term to the next?)
  2. Find the common ratio. (The number you multiply or divide.)
  3. Create a recursive formula by stating the first term, and then stating the formula to be the common ratio times the previous term.

The recursive formula is:

a_{1} = first term;  a_{n} = r • a_{n-1}  , where

  • a_{1} is the first term in the sequence
  • a_{n-1} is the term before the nth term  
  • r is the common ratio

∵ The geometric sequence is 2 , -10 , 50 , -250

∴ a_{1} = 2

- To find r divide the 2nd term by the first term

∵ r=\frac{a_{2}}{a_{1}}

∴ r=\frac{-10}{2}=-5

- Substitute the values of a_{1} and r in the formula above

∴  a_{1} = 2; a_{n} = (-5) • a_{n-1}

The recursive formula for this geometric sequence is:

a_{1} = 2; a_{n} = (-5) • a_{n-1}
