What is the slope of (-7,5) and (5,-1)

Mathematics
1 answer:
svlad2 [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1)

Use the graph

You must go from point (-7, 5) to point (5, -1) by using only vertical and horizontal paths.

Start at point (-7, 5).

Go down 6 units. That means a rise of -6.

Now go right 12 units to point (5, 1)

That is a run of 12 units.

slope = rise/run = -6/12 = -1/2

Method 2)

Use the slope formula

slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = [5 - (1)]/(-7 - 5) = (5 + 1)/(-12) = 6/(-12) = -1/2

graph the parabola y equals negative x squared + 3 to graph a parabola plot the vertex and four additional points two on each si
Nataliya [291]

You don't have the graph icon here, so we'll have to graph this parabola without it.


Your parabola is y = -x^2 + 3., which resembles y = a(x-h)^2 + k. We can tell immediately that this parabola opens down and that the vertex is (0,3).


Plot (0,3). Besides being the vertex, this point is also the max. of the function.


Now calculate four more points. Choose four arbitrary x-values, such as {-2, 1, 4, 5} and find the y value for each one. Plot the resulting four points. Draw a smooth curve thru them, remembering (again) that the vertex is at (0,3) and that the parabola opens down.

Factor 15z^2+17z-18 please show work
siniylev [52]

There is no common factor between 15, 17 and 18 because 17 is prime.  

15z² +17z - 18 =  

d = 17² - 4.15.-18  

d = 289 + 1080  

d = 1369  

z = (-17 +/- \/1369) : 2 * 15  

z = (-17 + 37) : 30  

z' = 20 : 30 = 2/3  

z" = (-17 - 37) : 30  

z" = -54 : 30 = -1.8
