Anya found the slope of the line that passes through the points (–7, 4) and (2, –3). Her work is shown below. Let (x2, y2) be (–

7, 4) and (x1, y1) be (2, –3). m = = = The slope is . What error did she make? She simplified the denominator incorrectly. The denominator simplifies to –7. She labeled the points incorrectly. The point (–7, 4) should be (x1, y1). She used an incorrect formula. The formula should be the change in y-values with respect to the change in the x-values. She used an incorrect formula. The formula should be the sum of the x-values with respect to the sum of the y-values.

Answer:

The formula should be the change in y-values with respect to the change in the x-values.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that slope of the line passing through two points was found as per working shown.

We are to locate the error in the method

Slope of the line passing through two points = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Here (x2, y2) be (–7, 4) and (x1, y1) be (2, –3).

Hence numerator = 4-(-3) =7

and denominator = -7-2=-9

The formula should be the change in y-values with respect to the change in the x-values.

If we use this formula only we get correct slope.

But Anya used formula incorrectly.

Which step brings you closest to getting the variable alone on one side of the equation
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Adding 5 from both sides then dividing by 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to isolate x is to add 5 to both sides first:

21 = 7x

Then to isolate x by itself divide both sides by 7

x = 3

That would be the value of x and your final answer.

Prove that the product of any two consecutive natural numbers is even.
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the 2 consecutive natural numbers are 'n' and 'n+1'

Thus the product of the 2 numbers is given by

Product=n(n+1)\\\\

We know that the sum of 'n' consecutive natural numbers starting from 1 is

S_n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\\\\\therefore n(n+1)=2\times S_n............(i)

Thus from equation 'i' we can write

Product=2\times S_n

As we know that any number multiplied by 2 is even thus we conclude that the product of 2 consecutive numbers is even.

A lighthouse casts a shadow 32 meters long at the same time a nearby statue casts a shadow that is 9 meters long. If the statue
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so basically let's start with a proportion.

x/32 = 11.25/9

Cross multiply:

x * 9 = 32 * 11.25

9x = 32 * 11.25

9x = 360

Solving for variable 'x'.

Divide each side by '9'.

x = 40

I don't know if this is the correct answer, but it was based on my math. I hope this helps!
