What is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (3, -1) and (5, -8)

Mathematics

vfiekz [6]3 years ago
8 0

The two points are (x1,y1) = (3,-1) and (x2,y2) = (5,-8)

Plug those coordinates into the slope formula below.

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (-8 - (-1))/(5 - 3)

m = (-8 + 1)/(5 - 3)

m = -7/2

<h3>Answer: The slope is -7/2</h3>

note: the fraction -7/2 converts to the decimal form -3.5

Use the geometric mean (altitude) theorem. What is the value of m? 4 2 StartRoot 7 EndRoot 4 StartRoot 10 EndRoot 160
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Option C: 4√10

Step-by-step explanation:

From the geometric mean theorem, when we have this type of rectangle with a height of say "x" and left and right distances to this height as "a" and "b" respectively, then the theorem says that;

x/a = b/x

Applying it to this question;

Altitude is "m"

Left side measurement is 8

Right side measurement is 20

Thus;

m/8 = 20/m

Cross multiply to get;

m² = 160

m = √160

m = √(16 × 10)

m = 4√10

Can someone help me figure out what are the two checkpoints?
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

13,000 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

X -------10960----------C---------------D---------------Y

The entire race (from X to Y) is 7 miles.  There are 5,280 ft. in one mile, so 7 miles is 36960 ft.

If we subtract 10,960 from 36,960, then we get the distance from C to Y.

36960-10960 = 26000

They tell you D is at the midpoint between C and Y

So if we divide 26,000 by 2, then we know the distance from C to D and from D to Y.

26000/2 = 13000

The checkpoints are C and D, so the distance between them is 13,000 ft.

The longest human power sporting event is the tour de France cycling race in a particular year the average speed for the winner
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The winner completed the race in 96 hours and 52 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance of the cycling race = 2292 miles

Average speed of the winner = 23.66\  mph

We need to find time required by winner to complete the race.

Solution:

Now we know that;

Time required can be calculated by dividing Total Distance from the Average speed.

framing in equation form we get;

time required by winner to complete the race = \frac{2292}{23.66} = 96.87\ hrs

Now converting 0.87\ hrs into minutes we get;

0.87\times 60= 52.2\approx 52\ mins

Hence the winner completed the race in 96 hours and 52 minutes.
