What is the slope of (8,3) and (-4,-6)?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nonamiya [84]4 years ago
8 0

<u>Answer:</u> The slope of the line formed by these two points is \frac{3}{4}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

To calculate the slope, we use the formula:

Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

For the coordinates given:

x_1=8\\y_1=3\\x_2=-4\\y_2=-6

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Slope=\frac{(-6-3)}{(-4-8)}\\\\Slope=\frac{-9}{-12}\\\\Slope=\frac{3}{4}

Hence, the slope of the line formed from these two coordinates is  \frac{3}{4}

1. Find the equation of a line passing through the points (1,-2) and (-3,10).​
liraira [26]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(1 , -2)   x₁ =1 & y₁ = -2

(-3,10)  x₂= -3 & y₂ = 10

First we need to find the slope.

\boxed{Slope = $\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$}\boxed{Slope=\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}}

          =\dfrac{10-[-2]}{-3-1}\\\\\\=\dfrac{10+2}{-4}\\\\\\=\dfrac{12}{-4}\\\\\\= - 3

m = -3

Equation of the line: y = mx + b

y = -3x + b

To find the value of b, take one of the point and substitue in the above equaiton.

(1 , -2)

-2 = -3*1 + b

-2 = -3 + b

-2 + 3 = b

b = 1

Equation of the line:

y = -3x + 1

On a piece of paper, use a protractor and a ruler to construct △ABC with AB=4 in., AC=4 in., and m∠A=60°.
ollegr [7]

Answer:

BC 4 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps for construction;

  • Using a ruler draw line AB 4 inches  and label the end points A and B
  • At point A , using a protractor, measure angle 60° and mark with point. Draw a line from A passing through this point extending to a length of 4 inches
  • Mark that point C.
  • Using the ruler, join point C and B and measure BC.

From calculation, length BC can be found by the formula;

BC=\sqrt{a^2+b^2-2*a*b*cosA}------where a=b=4 in , cos A = cos 60°

BC=\sqrt{4^2+4^2-2*4*4*cos60}

BC = 4 in

Identity the congruence statement for the triangles below.
GalinKa [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

Triangle HMK≅Triangle ILJ

<u>Explanation:</u>

Two triangles are congruent if they have the same sides and the same size. This means they have the same shape and size, regardless of their position or orientation.


If we want to verify if two triangles are congruent, they must fulfill some conditions:


a) Two triangles are congruent if their three sides are respectively equal



b) Two triangles are congruent if two of their sides and the angle between them are respectively of equal length.



c) Two triangles are congruent if they have a congruent side and the angles with vertex at the ends of that side are also congruent.  


d) Two triangles are congruent if they have two sides respectively congruent and the angles opposite the greater of the sides are also congruent



According to these criteria, Triangle HMK≅Triangle ILJ
