What is the slope of the line? 3x-4y=73x−4y=7

To find the slope, we put this in y = mx + b form where m is ur slope.

3x - 4y = 7.....subtract 3x from both sides
-4y = -3x + 7 ...now we divide both sides by -4
(-4/-4)y = (-3/-4)x + (-7/4)...simplify
y = 3/4x - 7/4

y = mx + b
y = 3/4x - 7/4.....so the number in the m position is 3/4 <== ur slope

A line is tangent to the circle x^2+y^2=41, at the point (-4,-5)
VashaNatasha [74]
If the equation of the circle is x^2+ y^2 = 41, we must first understand the parts of the equation.
 A general circle's equation is (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2= r^2  
(h.k) is the radius of the circle
r is the radius of the circle
Another useful fact to know is that tangent lines touch the circle at one point (4,5)

Since in our original equation there are no h or k values, we can assume that the center of the circle is (0,0). 

The formula for slope is <u>Y1-Y2</u>
                                   X1-X2
We can break this down with our two points (center and tangent)
  (0,0)    and   (-4,-5)
(X1,Y1) and (X2,Y2)

therefore, we will put the equation as such
<u>0-(-5)= 5</u>  = <em> </em><u><em>5</em></u>
0-(-4)= 4     <em> 4</em>

<em>this is our slope from the center to the point of tangency.</em>

We know that tangent lines are perpendicular to the radius, which we've already found the slope of. Perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals of the line they are perpendicular to. 

Therefore, we take our slope from center to the tangent, and make it opposite and then take the reciprocal of that slope, which will give us the slope of the tangent line itself. (note: reciprocal means flip the numerator and denominator)
<u>5</u> =  <u>-5</u>  =  <u>-4</u><u>
</u>4     4        5   

Now, we have a point on the line, and the line's slope. We can use slope-intercept equation to find the equation of the line.

Slope-int      y=mx+b
(x,y) is a point,
m is the slope
b is the y intercept  ( the point where x=0, or where its on the y axis)

now we plug things in
(-4,-5) is our point,
<u>-4</u>  is our slope
5

-5=<u>-4</u>(-4)+b       After we plug things in, solve for b
     5

-5= 3.2+b

-1.8= b  or  b=  <u />1 <u>4</u>
                         5

Now we just need to rewrite our equation with all our components.
(-4.-5) = point
<u>-4</u>  = slope<u>
</u>5
1 <u>4</u> = y-intercept<u>
</u>   5

<em>y=</em><u><em>-4</em></u><em> x+ 1 </em><u><em>4</em></u><em>     This is the equation of the tangent line</em><u>
</u><em>    5         5</em>

Answer:

The parallelograms PQRS and TUVW are not alike.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram, if one angle is known, then all the other angles can also be determined.  

Now, parallelograms PQRS and TUVW have one angle of 120° equal.  

So, the other three angles will be the same for them.

The adjacent sides of the parallelogram PQRS are 8 ft and  12 ft. and the adjacent sides of the parallelogram TUVW are 2.4 ft and 5.2 ft.

So the ratios of sides of the two parallelograms are \frac{8}{2.4} = 3.33 and \frac{12}{5.2} = 2.3 which are not equal.

So, the parallelograms PQRS and TUVW are not alike. (Answer)

The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 19 cm more than five times the length of the shorter leg. The length of the
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

13 cm, 84 cm, 85 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sides of triangle are be a, b, c

  • a = x, b = 5x + 19, c = 5x + 20

<u>As per Pythagorean theorem:</u>

  • c² = a² + b²
  • (5x+20)² = (5x +19)² + x²
  • 25x² + 200x + 400 = 25x² + 190x + 361 + x²
  • x² - 10x - 39 = 0

<u>Solving the quadratic equation we get:</u>

  • x= 13

<u>Then:</u>

  • a= 13 cm
  • b = 5*13 +19 = 84 cm
  • c= 5*13 + 20 = 85 cm
