wlad13 [49]3 years ago
5 0

Step-by-step explanation: In geometry, a line segment is a segment that's composed of two points, which are called the endpoints, and all the points that are between the endpoints.

So, in order for a figure to be a line segment,

it needs to begin and end at an endpoint.

Take a look at the image provided below.

Write an equation of the line passing through (-5,5) and having slope -6. Guve the answer in slope-intercept form.
Fynjy0 [20]
Passes through (-5, 5) & has a slope of -6.

We want the answer in slope-intercept form.

** Remember! Slope-intercept form : y=mx+b where m=slope, b=y-intercept.

Simply plug everything in :)

y = mx + b

y = (-6)x + (5)

Simplify.

y = -6x + 5

Which statements about finding the area of the equilateral triangle are true? Check all that apply.
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The correct options are 1, 2 and 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle is an equilateral triangle. All the sides of an equilateral triangle are same. All interior angles are equal with measure 60 degree.

The distance from the center of an equilateral triangle to the midpoint of a side is known as apothem. In the given figure letter a represents the apothem.

Point D is the midpoint of BC,

b=\frac{BC}{2}=\frac{8.7}{2}=4.35

Use Pythagorean theorem in triangle COD. So, option 1 is correct.

OC^2=OD^2+DC^2

5^2=a^2+(4.35)^2

25=a^2+18.9225

a=\pm 2.46526

a\approx\pm 2.5

The distance can not be negative, so the length of the apothem is approximately 2.5 cm. Option 4 is correct.

The line OC bisects the angle C.

tan(30^{\circ})=\frac{a}{b}

\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}=\frac{a}{4.35}

a\approx\pm 2.5

Therefore option 2 is correct.

The perimeter of an equality triangle is

P=3a=3(8.7)=26.1

Option 3 is incorrect.

A=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(8.7)^2=32.77

Option 5 is incorrect.

Therefore options 1, 2 and 4 are correct.

y = -16x2 + 32x - 10 This parabola has x-intercepts, representing the times when the dolphin's height above water is feet.
Lina20 [59]
Answer: This parabola has 0.3875 x-intercepts,
<span>representing the times when the dolphin's height above water is </span>
0 feet.

The x-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the x-axis, which is when the value is y=0. 
The calculation for y=0 would be
<span>Y = -16x2 + 32x - 10
</span><span>0 = -16x2 + 32x - 10
</span>-8x2 + 16x - 5=0

-b +-√(b^2-4ac)  /2a=
-16 +-√(16^2-4(-8)(-5))  /2(-8) =
-16+- √(256-160/ -16 =
-16+- √(96/ -16 =
-16+- 9.8/ -16 =
x1= 0.3875
x2= -1.6125
