Answer:

slope = - \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 3x + 6y + 12 = 0 into this form

Subtract 3x + 12 from both sides

6y = - 3x - 12 ( divide all terms by 6 )

y = - \frac{1}{2} x - 2 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - \frac{1}{2}

Answer:

\large\boxed{m=-\dfrac{1}{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the equation in general form

Ax+By+C=0

Convert it to the slope-intercept form:

3x+6y+12=0              <em>subtract 6y from both sides</em>

3x+12=-6y               <em>divide both sides by (-6)</em>

y=\dfrac{3}{-6}x+\dfrac{12}{-6}

y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x-2

Therefore the slope

m=-\dfrac{1}{2}

Other method.

If we have the equation of lines in the general form Ax + By + C = 0 or the standard form Ax + By = C, then the slope is equal to:

m=\dfrac{-A}{B}

We have

3x+6y+12=0\to A=3,\ B=6

Substitute:

m=\dfrac{-3}{6}=-\dfrac{1}{2}

HELP ME NOW PLEASE, IM BEGGING.

1. $1.23 per pair
A dozen is 12 so you do 12x7=84

Then you do 103.32 divided by 84 which gives you 1.23

2. His error was doing 103.32 divided by 7 because he thought it was only 7 pairs but it’s 7 dozen.

In the figure below AB is a diameter of circle P. What is the arc measure of minor arc AC in degrees? ​
arlik [135]

Answer:

P = 139

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for complete question

Required

Determine measure of Arc length AC

The interpretation of this question is to find P

If AB is the diameter, then

P + 41 = 180

P + 41 - 41= 180 - 41

P = 139

<em>Hence, the measure is 139 degrees</em>

Could someone help me please?
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

a. 7.2

b. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the side lengths of similar polygons are proportional to each other, therefore:

\frac{b}{10} = \frac{9}{15} = \frac{a}{12}

Thus, let's find b using:

\frac{b}{10} = \frac{9}{15}

Cross multiply

b*15 = 10*9

15b = 90

Divide both sides by 15

b = 6

Let's find a using:

\frac{9}{15} = \frac{a}{12}

Cross multiply

9*12 = 15*a

108 = 15a

Divide both sides by 15

a = 7.2
