Answer:

c = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

**I assume that side WX in my diagram (attached as an image below) is the value of C that we're looking for. ALSO, the sizes and lengths of the parallelograms are NOT to scale.**

If two parallelograms are similar, that means the lengths of the corresponding sides have EQUAL ratios.

PL corresponds with WZ. To get from 15 to 45, you would multiply 15 by 3, so the ratio of the legnths of the corresponding sides between these two parallelograms is 1:3.

With that in mind, we can apply this ratio to find WX.

We know that AP has a length of 7, so we will multiply that by 3, getting a value of 21, and 7:21 ratio is the same as 1:3.

c = 21

Find the slope of the line that passes through (4,2) and (9,1)?

pshichka [43]

Answer:

The slope of the line is $\displaystyle -\frac{1}{5}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two coordinate points:

$(4, 2)$
$(9, 1)$

We are asked to find the slope of the line.

We can use the rise-over-run formula to solve for the slope of the line.

$\displaystyle \text{slope} = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}\\\\\text{slope} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

However, we firstly need to name our coordinate points.

In math, we can label our coordinates using the following label system:

$(x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2)$

Therefore, we can also label our coordinates as such:

$x_1 = 4$
$y_1 = 2$
$x_2 = 9$
$y_2 = 1$

Now, we can supply these values into the formula and solve for our slope, or a better known variable, m.

$\displaystyle m = \frac{1 - 2}{9 - 4}\\\\m = \frac{-1}{5}\\\\m = -\frac{1}{5}$

Therefore, our slope is $\displaystyle -\frac{1}{5}$ .

The probability that the marble will be blue if he shakes the bag and when you puts his hand into the bag, to move it around and probably he'll get the blue marble.
