How can you find the slope of a line and use it to solve problems?

Mathematics
1 answer:
ziro4ka [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Mark two points on the line in the graph.

2) Determine the rise and run. Rise ---> difference in y-coordinates. (y2-y1)

Run -----> difference in  x-coordinates (x2 - x1)

3) Plugin the values in the below mentioned formula.

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

1.If slope = 0, then the line is parallel to x-axis.

2. If slope is undefined, then the line is parallel to y-axis.

3. If slope is +ve, then the line slant upwards and if slope = -ve, then the line slant downwards.

If y varies directly as x, and y is 16 when x is 4, when y= 24 what is the value of x?
sergejj [24]

Answer:

x = 6 possibly

Step-by-step explanation:

I am just an algebra student, but if I am correct I would appreciate a crown.

16/4 is 4, so i assumed that was the geometric pattern, so i divided 24 by 4 and got 6.

Hoped this helped.

Consider a fair coin which when tossed results in either heads (H) or tails (T). If the coin is tossed TWO times 1. List all pos
Volgvan

Answer:

Sample space = {(T,T), (T,H), (HT), (HH)}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a fair coin which when tossed one times either gives heads(H) or tails(T).

Now, the same coin is tossed two times.

1) All the possible outcomes

Tails followed by tails

Rails followed by heads

Heads followed by a tail

Heads followed by heads

2) Sample space

{(T,T), (T,H), (HT), (HH)}

3) Formula:

Probability = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Favourable outcome}}{\text{Total number of outcome}}

Using the above formula, we can compute the following probabilities.

Probability((T,T)) =\frac{1}{4}

Probability((T,H)) =\frac{1}{4}

Probability((H,T)) =\frac{1}{4}

Probability((H, H)) =\frac{1}{4}

Probability(Atleast one tails) = \frac{3}{4}

Probability(Atleast one heads) = \frac{3}{4}

Probability(Exactly one tails) = \frac{2}{4}

Probability(Exactly one heads) = \frac{2}{4}

Write the equation of the line perpendicular to y = -3/4x that passes through the point (3,-8)
arlik [135]

Answer:

y = \frac{4}{3} x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - \frac{3}{4} x ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - \frac{3}{4} , c = 0

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{-\frac{3}{4} } = \frac{4}{3} , then

y = \frac{4}{3} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (3, - 8) into the partial equation

- 8 = 4 + c ⇒ c = - 8 - 4 = - 12

y = \frac{4}{3} x - 12 ← equation of perpendicular line

Consider this equation. cos(theta) = (-2√5)/5. If theta is an angle in quadrant II, what is the value of sin(theta)? NO LINKS!!!
vlada-n [284]
  • In second quadrant sin and cosec are positive

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow sin^2\theta=1-cos^2\theta

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow sin^2\theta=1-(\dfrac{-2\sqrt{5}}{5})^2

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow sin^2\theta=1-\dfrac{20}{25}

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow sin^2\theta=\dfrac{5}{25}

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow sin\theta=\dfrac{\sqrt{5}}{5}

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow sin\theta=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5}}
