Answer:

Option a) A line joining points, does not describe the slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of a line:

Slope is calculated by finding the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between two distinct points on a line.
It is defined as the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate, between two distinct points on the line.
Slope of a line is a number that describes both the direction and the steepness of the line.
Slope gives the constant rate of change or a measure of change between two points.

Hence, from the given options slope is not a line segment joining two points but it is the change in the line segment between two points.

Hence, option a) A line joining points, does not describe the slope.

Solve the equation <br><br> 3x-1/2y=2

poizon [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Without a second equation relating x and y, we can solve 3x - 1/2y = 2 ONLY for x in terms of y or for y in terms of x:

x in terms of y: Multiply all three terms of 3x - 1/2y = 2 by 2, to eliminate the fraction: 6x - y = 4. Now add y to both sides to isolate 6x: 6x = 4 + y.

Last, divide both sides by 6 to isolate x:

x = (4 + y)/6

y in terms of x:

y = 6x - 4

If you want a numerical solution, please provide another equation in x and y and solve the resulting system.

30 POINTS!!! Louie is trying to find a rectangular canvas for his art project. Its diagonal must measure 23.3 inches and form a

Lisa [10]

Answer:

12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\theta = 31^{\circ}$

$diagonal = 23.3\ in$

Required

Determine the height of the canvas

The question is illustrated using the attached image.

Using the attachment as a point of reference, the height is calculated from

$sin \theta = \frac{opp}{hyp}$

This gives:

$sin 31^{\circ}= \frac{h}{23.3}$

Make h the subject

$h = 23.3 * sin(31^{\circ)$

$h = 23.3 * 0.5150\\$

$h = 11.9995$

$h = 12\ inches$

1. r - 29 = -2r + 19

Sphinxa [80]

Answer: r=16

Step-by-step explanation:

r-29=-2r+19

r=−2r+19+29

r=−2r+48

r+2r=48

3r=48

r=48/3

r=16

Hope this helps, now you know the answer and how to do it. HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great Valentines Day! :-)
