Answer:

7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line going through (2,3) and (-2,-4) can be found by:

A) Lining up points

B)  Subtracting the numbers vertically

C) Answer: Putting 2nd difference over 1st difference (yes a fraction)

 Let's do it!

 (  2  ,  3)

-( -2  ,  -4)

--------------

4       7

So the slope is 7/4

For this case we have that by definition, the slope of a line is given by:

m = \frac {y2-y1} {x2-x1}

We have as data the following points:

(x1, y1) = (2,3)\\(x2, y2) = (- 2, -4)

Substituting in the formula we have:

m = \frac {-4-3} {- 2-2}

Equal signs are added and the same sign is placed:

m = \frac {-7} {- 4}\\m = \frac {7} {4}

Answer:

m = \frac {7} {4}

A box contains a collection of triangular and square tiles. There are 2525 tiles in the box, containing 8484 edges total. How ma
AnnyKZ [126]
Let us consider the number of edges = x
we know that a triangle will have 3 edges and a square will have 4 edges. Using this details we can form an equation.
3x + 4x = 8484
7x = 8484
x = 8484/7
  = 1212
Then
Number of square tiles = 1212/4
                                     = 303
So there are 303 square tiles in the box. I hope the procedure is clear enough for your understanding. You can always use this method for solving similar problems.

Find an equation of the plane that is parallel to the xz-plane and is located 11 units to the right of the xz-plane in standard
mina [271]

Answer:

y = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Since our plane is parallel to the xz plane, the x and z are independent of each other, i.e. they could be anything. So xz plane has an equation of y = 0. So if this plane is located 11 units to the right of the xz plane then its equation must be y = 11.
