What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, -9) and (5, 3)

Mathematics

egoroff_w [7]3 years ago

Answer:

4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving from (-4, -9) to (5, 3), x (the 'run') increases by 9 from -4 to 5, and y (the 'rise') increases by 12 from -9 to +3.  Thus, the slope of the line connecting the two points is

m = rise / run = 12/9 = 4/3

It may help to think of the change in x (9) as the horizontal leg of a right triangle and the change in y (12) as the vertical leg.  Then  

m = (vertical leg length) / (horizontal leg length) = 12/9 = 4/3

$119.50 skateboard 20% off
Triss [41]
To find 20% of 119.50 you multiply 119.50 by 20% in decimal form
Then you subtract the discount (d) from the total to get your new price (n)

119.5*.2=d
23.9=d

119.5-d=n
119.5-23.9=95.6

So the new price is <u><em>$95.60</em></u>

Find the approximate surface-area-to-volume ratio of the Moon. The radius of the Moon is 1,080 miles. A. 0.0009 B. 0.0028 C. 360
yKpoI14uk [10]
We know that
surface area of a sphere=4*pi*r²

volume of a sphere=(4/3)*pi*r³

the ratio surface area to volume
=4*pi*r²/[(4/3)*pi*r³]-----> 3/r----> 3/1080-----> 0.0028

the answer is
the option <span>B. 0.0028 </span>
