1. **What is the slope of a line that passes through the points (-1,30) and (4, 10)

Mathematics
1 answer:
tresset_1 [31]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Slope = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are :

(-1,30) and (4, 10)

We need to find the slope of the line that passes through these points.

We know that, the formula for the slope of line is given by :

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have, x₁ = -1, y₁ = 30, x₂ = 4 and y₂ = 10

Put values in the above formula.

m=\dfrac{10-30}{4-(-1)}\\\\=\dfrac{-20}{5}\\\\=-4

So, the slope of the line is -4.

Describe in a couple of sentences what key features you can identify from the graph of a quadratic equation?
bezimeni [28]
From the graph of a quadratic equation, you can find:
The roots. These are the points where the graph crosses the x-axis, and is the solution of the quadratic equation when y=0. Usually, there are either two or zero.
The coefficient of the leading term. In the quadratic equation y= ax^2 + bx + c,
the parabola points upward if a is positive, and downward if a is negative. 
The vertex. You can find the vertex, or where the two sides of the parabola meet, by looking at the graph.

System of linear equations.<br> 2x + 4y =, 10<br> 2x + 2y + 3z = 3<br> -3x + y + 2z = -3
Dimas [21]

Answer:

x = 1, y = 2, z = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 4y = 10

2x = -4y + 10

x = -2y + 5

now sub -2y + 5 in for x, back into the other 2 equations

2x + 2y + 3z = 3                                   -3x + y + 2z = -3

2(-2y + 5) + 2y + 3z = 3                       -3(-2y + 5) + y + 2z = -3

-4y + 10 + 2y + 3z = 3                           6y - 15 + y + 2z = -3

-2y + 3z = 3 - 10                                    7y + 2z = - 3 + 15

-2y + 3z = - 7                                         7y + 2z = 12

-2y + 3z = -7....multiply by 2

7y + 2z = 12...multiply by -3

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

-4y + 6z = -14 (result of multiplying by 2)

-21y - 6z = -36 (result of multiplying by -3)

---------------------------add

-25y = - 50

y = -50/-25

y = 2 <===

2x + 4y = 10                        2x + 2y + 3z = 3

2x + 4(2) = 10                      2(1) + 2(2) + 3z = 3

2x + 8 = 10                          2 + 4 + 3z = 3

2x = 10 - 8                            6 + 3z = 3

2x = 2                                   3z = 3 - 6

x = 2/2                                 3z = -3

x = 1  <==                              z = -3/3

                                            z = -1 <===

Can someone help me understand how to add and subtract negatives and positives?
IgorC [24]
Okay, as you know, adding a positive and a positive gives you a bigger positive number. e.g 21 + 19 = 40.

Subtracting a positive from a positive might give you a negative number or a smaller positive number. e.g 21 - 19 = 2 or 20 - 24 = -4. That's simple, we all learned this! :)


Adding two negatives (e.g -4 + -5) will always give you a negative number. To make it easier, just think of the numbers only (4, 5), add them together, and then just put a negative sign by the answer (e.g 4 + 5 = 9 so put - to make -9).

Subtracting two negatives can be a bit tricky! When we say, for example, -5 - -4, we must turn the negative number that was to the right of the minus ( -4) into a positive number! So now it becomes -5 +4 ! And then you get your answer. (which is -1).


Adding a positive to a negative can give you a positive or a negative answer. It just depends which number is "bigger". E.g -20 + 31. << 31 is the "bigger" number, and it is a positive, so we know that our answer will be positive. E.g -20 + 9. << 20 is the "bigger" number (even though it's a negative but forget about that) and it is negative, so we know that our answer will be negative.

Adding a negative to a positive can give you a negative or a positive answer. Like I said, it depends on which number is "bigger". e.g 20 + -9 . We can just remove the + sign and it now becomes 20 -9, which is easier to understand. 20 is the bigger number, and it is positive, so we get a positive answer. e.g 20 + -30 becomes 20 -30 and -30 is the "bigger" number and it is negative, so we'll get a negative answer.

Subtracting a negative from a positive does the thing I mentioned earlier: e.g 20 - -9. The -9 is right of the minus sign and becomes positive: 20 +9! :)

Subtracting a positive from a negative, like I said, depends on which number is "bigger". e.g -30 - 9 (we know 9 is positive even though we don't show the + sign).  Now, to make it simple, just block out the - sign by the 30 so it becomes 30 - 9. You know what that answer is: 21. But because -30 is "bigger", and it is a negative number,  the answer will be negative so it's -21. E.g -30 - 42 <<  Block out the - sign by the 30, and 42 is the "bigger" number, so the answer will be a positive. Just look at the difference between "bigger" number and the smaller number (without signs) . That'll give your answer. 42 - 30 = 12. 42 was the "bigger" number and a positive, and we looked at the difference. :)
