Answer:

-2 is the slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope (gradient) = rise/run or (y1 - y2/x1 - x2)

We will take the points so that we have a whole number:

Therefore the two points are:

(10,0) and (30, -40)

Now the gradient;

(y1 - y2/x1 - x2)

0 - -(40) / 10 - 30

40/-20

-2/1

-2

George tells you that when variables are in the denominator, the equation becomes unsolvable. "There is a value for x that makes

lyudmila [28]

The equation can still be solved but it should be stated clearly at what value of would the equation be undefined. For instance, you have an expression,

1/x+2

When x is equal to -2, the denominator will be 0 resulting to an undefined solution. The value of x here can be any real number except -2.

In simplest radical form, what are the solutions to the quadratic equation 6 = x2 - 10x?

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

x = $5 - \sqrt{31}$ , $5 + \sqrt{31}$

Step-by-step explanation:

6 = x^2 - 10x

0 = x^2 - 10x - 6

Let's use the quadratic formula. ( $x = \frac{-b +- \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$ )

$x = \frac{10 +- \sqrt{-10^2 - 4(-6)}}{2}$

x = $\frac{10 +- 2\sqrt{31} }{2}$

= 5 +- $\sqrt{31}$

x = $5 - \sqrt{31}$ , $5 + \sqrt{31}$

Jarvis left out a statement from the proof shown.which statement is best explained by the corresponding angles postulate

Salsk061 [2.6K]

The postulate of the corresponding angles establishes that when a transversal line cuts two parallel lines, the corresponding angles are congruent. These angles are on the same side of the parallel lines and on the same side of the transversal line.

Then, if we based on this definition and analize the figure attached, we can notice that the angles ∠1 and ∠3 are corresponding angles, so they are congruent. In this case the angle ∠1 is internal and the angle ∠3 is external.

The answer is: ∠1 and ∠3 are congruent (See the image attached).
