Slope=rise/run or
if you have 2 points in (x,y) form then slope=(y₁-y₂)/(x₁-x₂)
the first point is (x₁,y₁) the second point is (x₂,y₂)
we have the points
(-1,3) and (4,-7)
x1=-1
y1=3
x2=4
y2=-7
subsitute
(3-(-7))/(-1-4)=(3+7)/(-1-4)=10/-5=2/-1=-2
slope=-2/1
To compare these numbers, you must first put them into one format. Since you have mixed numbers, you may have to find and use the LCD.
-2.5, 1/5, 10, -12/4, 18/5, 10 could be simplified somewhat immediately:
-2.5, 1/5, 10, -3, (3 3/5) This set of numbers is simple enough so that you could rearrange them in ascending order mentally:
-3, -2.5, 1/5, (3 3/5), 10
In this case the number of elements in this set is odd, so all you have to do is to select the MIDDLE element: 1/5.
The median is 1/5.
You MUST learn this procedure (arranging the set elements in ascending order and selecting the middle element) so that you can apply it yourself.
Answer:
3,-2
Step-by-step explanation:
ANSWER
EXPLANATION
The slope is given by the formula,
We now substitute the points to obtain,
We simplify to obtain,
This must equal
This implies that,
We multiply both sides by -6 to obtain,
The value of is therefore 3.
7x4=28 , and 28/2= 14. the area of the triangle is a. 14m^2
