Answer:
By virtue of the Pythagorean Theorem, in a right triangle the sum of the squares of the smaller two sides equals the square of the largest side. Only 9, 12, and 15 fit this rule.
Answer for problem 1: slope = 2, y intercept = 3
Answer for problem 2: slope = 3/4, y intercept = -2
Explanation:
Both equations are in the form y = mx+b. This is known as slope intercept form. This is because we can read off the values of the slope and y intercept very quickly. We have y = 2x+3 match up with y = mx+b. The m is the slope and b is the y intercept. So m = 2 and b = 3 for this equation. A similar situation happens with the other equation as well. It might help to rewrite the second equation into y = (3/4)x + (-2).
Answer:
3.17x10^-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the
10. If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.
Answer:
The slope of the line = m = -9/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the points
Determining the slope between (-2, 4) and (3, -5)
(x₁, y₁) = (-2, 4)
(x₂, y₂) = (3, -5)
Using the formula
Slope = m = [y₂ - y₁] / [x₂ - x₁]
= [-5 - 4] / [3 - (-2)]
= [-9] / [3 + 2]
= -9/5
Thus, the slope of the line = m = -9/5
