Answer:

-\frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Points = (1,1) and (5,-5)

Unknown:

Slope = ?

Solution:

The slope of the a line is the ratio of the rise of a line to its run.

 Slope  = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1}  }  

x1  = 1

y1  = 1

x2  = 5

y2 = -5

  Insert the parameters and solve;

     Slope  = \frac{-5 - 1}{5-1}   = \frac{-6}{4}   = -\frac{3}{2}

Which number line below shows the set of numbers graphed correctly
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

The number line shows the graph of an inequality: A number line is shown from negative 5 to positive 5 with increments of 0.5. All the whole numbers are labeled on the number line. An empty circle is shown on the third mark to the left of 0. The region to the left of the empty circle is shaded. Which statement explains whether −3.5 can be a value in the shaded region? Yes it can, because −3.5 lies to the right of −1.5. No it cannot, because −3.5 lies to the left of −1.5. Yes it can, because −3.5 lies to the left of −1.5. No it cannot, because −3.5 lies to the right of −1.5.

a gardenner is designing a new garden in the shape of a trapezoing she wants the short base to be twice the height and loger bas
taurus [48]

Answer:

Height = 5 ft

Short base = 10 ft

Long base = 14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h = height, a = short base, b = long base.

From the question,

a = 2h

b = a + 4 = 2h + 4

The area of the trapezoid is given by \frac{1}{2}(a+b)h. Thus,

60 = \frac{1}{2}(2h + 2h + 4)h

60 = \frac{(4h  + 4)h }{2}

60 = \frac{4h(h  + 1)}{2}

60 = 2h(h  + 1)

30 = h(h  + 1)

0 = h^2  + h - 30

0 = (h+6)(h-5)

h-5 = 0 or h+6 = 0

h= 5 or h = -6

We discard the negative value of h since it is a measurement and cannot be negative.

h= 5

a= 2h=2\times5=10

b= a+4=10+4=14

Find the dimensions of a rectangle whose perimeter is 42 m and whose area is 104 m squared
julia-pushkina [17]
P=42 m
1/2 of P=21
1/2 of P= l+w
21=13+8
A=13×8
A=104 m^2. As a result, the length is 13 m, and the width is 8 m. Hope it help!
