Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is given by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (3 - 7)/(1 - -1)

= (3-7)/(1+1)

= -4/2

-2

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m=\frac{3-7}{1-(-1)} =\frac{-4}{2} =-\frac{4}{2} =-2$

The slope of the line should be -2.

Dante's Mom wants to build a fence around their yard. Here are the measurements of the yard. What are the measurements of the mi

timama [110]

Answer:

(a)The missing measurements are 9 feet and $16\frac{1}{4}$ feet$ .

(b)Therefore, the length of the fence is $97\frac{1}{2}$ feet$

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the yard is attached below.

(a)I have labeled the missing dimensions of the yard as x and y.

Therefore:

$y+8\frac{1}{4}=17 \frac{1}{4}\\y=17 \frac{1}{4}-8\frac{1}{4}\\y=9$ feet$

Similarly:

$x+15\frac{1}{4}=31\frac{1}{2}\\x=31\frac{1}{2}-15\frac{1}{4}\\x=31-15+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}\\x=16+\frac{1}{4}\\x=16\frac{1}{4}$ feet$

The missing measurements are 9 feet and $16\frac{1}{4}$ feet$ .

(b)Length of the Fence

The fence is rectangular shaped with:

Length = $31\frac{1}{2}$ feet$

Width = $17 \frac{1}{4}$ feet$

Perimeter of a Rectangle = 2(L+W)

Therefore, the length of the fence

$=2(31\frac{1}{2}+17 \frac{1}{4})\\=2(31+17+\frac{1}{2}+ \frac{1}{4})\\=2(48+ \frac{3}{4})\\=96+\frac{3}{2}\\=97\frac{1}{2}$ feet$

Find the center and the radius of the circle with the equation: <br> x2+6x+y2+4y+12=0

Andrews [41]

Answer:

centre = (- 3, - 2) , radius = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

Given

x² + 6x + y² + 4y + 12 = 0 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

x² + 6x + y² + 4y = - 12

Use the method of completing the square on the x and y terms

add ( half the coefficient of the x/ y terms )² to both sides

x² + 2(3)x + 9 + y² + 2(2)y + 4 = - 12 + 9 + 4

(x + 3)² + (y + 2)² = 1 ← in standard form

with centre = (- (- 3), - (- 2)) and r² = 1, that is

centre = (- 3, - 2) and radius = 1

A flat rectangular piece of aluminum has a perimeter of 62 inches. The length is 15

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

So, the required width of rectangular piece of aluminium is 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Perimeter of rectangular piece of aluminium = 62 inches

Let width of rectangular piece of aluminium = w

and length of rectangular piece of aluminium = w+15

We need to find width i.e value of x

The formula for finding perimeter of rectangle is: $Perimeter=2(Length+Width)\\$

Now, Putting values in formula for finding Width w:

$Perimeter=2(Length+Width)\\\\62=2(w+15+w)\\62=2(2w+15)\\62=4w+30\\62-30=4w\\4w=32\\w=\frac{32}{4}\\w=8$

After solving we get the width of rectangular piece :w = 8

So, the required width of rectangular piece of aluminium is 8 inches

WILL AWARD BRAILEST!!!!!! A triangular prism has a triangular face with a base of 16.8 centimeters and a height of 10.2 centimet

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to find the area of the triangular base. The formula for the area of a triangle is $\frac{bh}{2}=\frac{10.2\cdot16.8}{2}=85.68$ . Now, you can divide the total volume by this to find the length. 1199.52/85.68=14. Hope this helps!
