Answer:
Three ways to find the slope of a line: You may have two points #(x_1,y_1)# and #(x_2,y_2)# (often one or both of these points may be intercepts of the #x# and/or #y# axes). The slope is given by the equation. #m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#. You may have a linear equation that is either in the form or can be manipulated into the form. #y = mx + b#.
Step-by-step explanation:
-13+9=-4
When you add a positive number to a negative number the answer will get closer to 0 and then progress up in positive numbers. In this case we are finding which of the numbers equals -4 when added to -13. Remember, if you add a negative to a negative you will get a negative.
-13+-17=-30 This is the wrong answer.
-13+-9=-21 This is the wrong answer.
-13+17=4 This is the wrong answer. (This is positive 4 we are trying to find -4)
-13+9=-4 This is the right answer
Therefore X=9
8-3x
Divide the whole thing by 2 so it would be y=4-1.5x
Answer:
123.5 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: To find the area of a rectangle, you have to multiply base times height.
To find the area of a triangle, you have to do base times height devided by 2.
Finding the area: Let's break up this shape into polygons. At the bottom there is a rectangle. We know that to find the area of the rectangle you have to do base times height. 13in•7in will give you <u>91in</u> square for the rectangle.
Now for the triangle. If you can see, if you break the triangle in half, there are 2 right triangles. Let's look at the right one for now. Since we know that to find the area of a triangle you have to do base times height divided by 2, you do 5in•6.5in=32.5in. 32.5in divided by 2 is <u>16.25in </u>square which is the area of one triangle. You might be wondering why i did 5•6.5, and that's because at the bottom of the rectangle you can see it's 13in, and 13in÷2=6.5in.
We already found the area of the rectangle and one triangle. The other triangle is equal to it so we can just do 16.25+16.25=<u>32.5in</u> square for both of the triangles.
Now we add it all up: 32.5+91=123.5 square inches
