8 0

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number 212x5 is a multiple of 3, the sum of the digits needs to be a multiple of 3, so we have:

2 + 1 + 2 + x + 5 = 10 + x

The value of x can be 2, 5 or 8

If the number is a multiple of 11, we have to calculate the first number minus the second, plus the third, minus the fourth... and so on, and the result needs to be a multiple of 11. So we have:

2 - 1 + 2 - x + 5 = 8 - x

x needs to be 8, so we have 8 - 8 = 0, that is a multiple of 11.

So the value of x is 8.

Work out the gradient of the straight line that passes through (2,6) and (6,12)

Furkat [3]

Answer:

The gradient of the straight line that passes through (2, 6) and (6, 12) is $m = \frac{3}{2}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically speaking, lines are represented by following first-order polynomials of the form:

$y = b + m\cdot x$ (1)

Where:

$x$ - Independent variable.

$y$ - Dependent variable.

$m$ - Slope.

$b$ - Intercept.

The gradient of the function is represented by the first derivative of the function:

$y' = m$

Then, we conclude that the gradient of the staight line is the slope. According to Euclidean Geometry, a line can be form after knowing the locations of two distinct points on plane. By definition of secant line, we calculate the slope:

$m = \frac{y_{B}-y_{A}}{x_{B}-x_{A}}$ (2)
