im still in 7th grade but..

Answer:

2 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

im going to choose (10,4) as x2,y2 and (6,-2) as x1,y1

so the fraction will look like this: $\frac{4+6}{10-6}$

now we have to slove it, 4+6 = 10

and 10-6 = 4

we have the fraction 10/4

now simplify: 2 1/2

hopefully i got this correct

Slope: 1.5

Work: I used the slope formula method which is y2 - y1/ x2 - x1. After plugging it in, the new equation is 4 - (-2) / 10 - 6. After subtraction, I had gotten 6/4. And when you divide 6/4, you get 1.5

I hope this helps. :)

What is the slope of the line that passes through the point (-9,8) and (-3-1)?

natulia [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x₁, y₁) = (-9 ,8) and (x₂ , y₂) = (-3 , -1)

$Slope = \dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\\=\dfrac{-1-8}{-3-[-9]}\\\\=\dfrac{-9}{-3+9}\\\\=\dfrac{-9}{6}\\\\=\dfrac{-3}{2}$

When a cylindrical tank is filled with water at a rate of 22 cubic meters per hour, the level of water in the tank rises at a ra

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

$r=\sqrt{10}\text{ m}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that when a cylindrical tank is filled with water at a rate of 22 cubic meters per hour, the level of water in the tank rises at a rate of 0.7 meters per hour. We are asked to find the approximate radius of tank in meters.

We will use volume of cylinder formula to solve our given problem as:

$V=\pi r^2h$ , where,
