100 points Explain what the slope and intercept mean in the situation.

Mathematics

Answer:

The slope means that every time the x value changes by +1, then the y value will change by +2.

The y-intercept is 3, which means is that when the y value is at 3, the line crosses the y-axis, or x has as value of 0.

For real though, why are there so many questions about slope and intercept, I just finished answering a question like this.

What is the equation of the following line? (7,2) (0,0)

butalik [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(7,2) , (0,0)

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (0 - 2) / (0 - 7) = -2/-7 = 2/7

y = mx + b

slope(m) = 2/7

(0,0)...x = 0 and y = 0

now sub

0 = 2/7(0) + b

0 = b

ur equation is : y = 2/7x + 0.....same as y = 2/7x <====

Solve the simultaneous equation: x-y=2

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Y= –7.08, 5.08

Step-by-step explanation:

hope ya ready bro.

X=36/Y

replace 36/y instead of X

36/Y–Y=2===> 36–Y²=2Y===> Y²+2Y–36=0

Y1= –1+√37≈ –7.08

Y2= –1–√37≈ 5.08

What is the most precise name for a quadrilateral with the following vertices:

lozanna [386]

Answer:

The most precise name for a quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

A(2,3) B(7,2) C(6,-1) D(1,0)

Plot the quadrilateral'

using a graphing tool

The quadrilateral ABCD in the attached figure

Verify the length of the sides

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

step 1

Find distance AB

A(2,3) B(7,2)

substitute

$d=\sqrt{(2-3)^{2}+(7-2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-1)^{2}+(5)^{2}}$

$d_A_B=\sqrt{26}\ units$

step 2

Find distance BC

B(7,2) C(6,-1)

substitute

$d=\sqrt{(-1-2)^{2}+(6-7)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(-1)^{2}}$

$d_B_C=\sqrt{10}\ units$

step 3

Find distance CD

C(6,-1) D(1,0)

substitute

$d=\sqrt{(0+1)^{2}+(1-6)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(1)^{2}+(-5)^{2}}$

$d_C_D=\sqrt{26}\ units$

step 4

Find distance AD

A(2,3) D(1,0)

substitute

$d=\sqrt{(0-3)^{2}+(1-2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(-1)^{2}}$

$d_A_D=\sqrt{10}\ units$

step 5

Compare the length sides

AB=CD

BC=AD

Opposite sides are congruent

<em>Verify the slope of the sides</em>

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

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

step 1

Find slope AB

A(2,3) B(7,2)

substitute

$m=\frac{2-3}{7-2}$

$m=\frac{-1}{5}$

$m_A_B=-\frac{1}{5}$

step 2

Find slope BC

B(7,2) C(6,-1)

substitute

$m=\frac{-1-2}{6-7}$

$m=\frac{-3}{-1}$

$m_B_C=3$

step 3

Find slope CD

C(6,-1) D(1,0)

substitute

$m=\frac{0+1}{1-6}$

$m=\frac{1}{-5}$

$m_C_D=-\frac{1}{5}$

step 4

Find slope AD

A(2,3) D(1,0)

substitute

$m=\frac{0-3}{1-2}$

$m=\frac{-3}{-1}$

$m_A_D=3$

step 5

Compare the slopes

$m_A_B=m_C_D$

$m_B_C=m_A_D$

The slope of the opposite sides are equal, that means, opposite sides are parallel

The slopes of consecutive sides are not opposite reciprocal, that means, consecutive sides are not perpendicular

therefore

The most precise name for a quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram
