Answer:

-6/5 or -1 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the slope with any 2 points of a line is rise/run, or

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

In this case, y2 is -5, y1 is 1, x1 is -3, and x2 is 2.

So, the slope is:

(-5-1)/(2-(-3))

-6/5 which, as a mixed number, is -1 1/5.

You can also graph out the points on a coordinate plane, draw the line between the points, and count the rise/run, but that might take a minute or two, which is not the best if you have a timed test.

Answer:

- 6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope

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

= ( -5-1)/(2- -3)

= (-5-1)/(2+3)

- 6/5

Answer:

$\sqrt{3} + \frac{5\sqrt{3} }{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

tan(30°) = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$

cot(30°) = $\sqrt{3}$

sin(60°) = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3} +\sqrt{3} +\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \sqrt{3} +\frac{5\sqrt{3} }{6}$

A leg of a right triangle can never be greater then the hypotenuse

this formula will tell you if it's a valid right triangle
${?}^{2} + {?}^{2} = {?}^{2}$
the first two question marks are the legs of the triangle while the one after the = is the hypotenuse.

THE STEPS:
${3}^{2} + { \sqrt{7}^{2} } = {4}^{2}$
$9 + {2.65}^{2} = 16$
${2.65}^{2} = 7$
$9 + 7 = 16$
ANSWER: $\sqrt{7}$

£100 in the ratio 3:2

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

66.66 (other currency)

Step-by-step explanation:

If every £3 represents 2 of another currency, you just need to figure out how many groups of £3 are in £100 (so £100/£3 = 33.33). Now multiply this value by 2 to get the equivalent of £100 in another currency.
