Answer:  The correct option is (D) -\dfrac{5}{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the slope of the line that contain the points x(2, -1) and y(0, 4).

We know that

the slope of a line that contain the points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by

m=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}.

Therefore, the slope of the given line will be

m=\dfrac{4-(-1)}{0-2}=\dfrac{4+1}{-2}=-\dfrac{5}{2}.

Thus, the slope of the given line is -\dfrac{5}{2}.

Option (D) is CORRECT.

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(2,-1)(0,4)
slope = (4 - (-1) / (0 - 2) = (4 + 1) / -2 = 5/-2 = -5/2

The consecutive angles of a parallelogram measure (x+30) and 4x°. What is the measure of the smallest
Sophie [7]

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

180=(x+30)+(4x)

Ok, combine like terms. That'll give you

180=5x+30.

Now solve for x. X is going to equal 30.

Then substitute 30 for x in the angles. One angle will be 60 and the other will be 120.

60 is smaller than 120 so that's your answer.
