Slope is rise over run

Answer:

-2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of a line is also called gradient.

Let A(x₁,y₁) and B(x₂,y₂) be points on a certain line;

slope = (y₂ -y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

In this question the 2 points that lie on the line are: (-5,5) and (0,3)

slope = (3 - 5)/(0 - -5)

         = -2/5

The perpendicular bisector of the line segment connecting the points $(-3,8)$ and $(-5,4)$ has an equation of the form $y = mx +
docker41 [41]

Answer:

m = -1/2 and b = 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the original line segment, we have to do the change in y/the change in x:

(4-8)/(-5--3) = -4/-2 = 2

2 is the slope of the original line segment, but since this is the perpendicular bisector, we have to take the negative reciprocal of 2 so m = -1/2

To find b we substitute the values of x, y, and m into the equation. Let's use the x value of -3 and the y value of 8:

y = mx + b

8 = -1/2(-3) + b

8 = 3/2 + b

6.5 = b

The sum of the first four terms of an arithmetic sequence is $10$. If the fifth term is $5$, what is the sixth term?
Nookie1986 [14]

The sixth term of an arithmetic sequence is 6

<h3>How to find arithmetic sequence?</h3>

The sum of the first four terms of an arithmetic sequence is 10.

The fifth term is 5.

Therefore,

sum of term = n / 2(2a + (n - 1)d)

where

  • a = first term
  • d = common difference
  • n = number of terms

Therefore,

n = 4

10 = 4 / 2 (2a + 3d)

10 = 2(2a + 3d)

10 = 4a + 6d

4a + 6d = 10

a + 4d = 5

4a + 6d = 10

4a + 16d = 20

10d = 10

d = 1

a + 4(1) = 5

a = 1

Therefore,

6th term = a + 5d

6th term = 1 + 5(1)

6th term = 6

What is the effect on the graph of the function f(x) = 2x when f(x) is replaced with f(0.5x)? A) vertical stretching B) vertical
PtichkaEL [24]
<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

Option: D

Horizontal stretching.

<h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>

We have to find the effect on the graph of the function f(x)=2x when it is replaced by f(0.5 x).

We know that when a parent function f(x) is replaced by f(kx) then either the graph is stretched horizontally or shrinked horizontally.

if k>1 then the graph is shrinked horizontally.

if k<1 then the graph is stretched horizontally.

Hence here k=0.5<1 so the graph of the function is stretched horizontally.
