Answer: -2-8= -10

4+1 = 5 (the negative switches to a positive)

Your slope equals -10/5. You can look at this in a fraction for when you might use it later in point slope or slope intercept form, or you can just simplify it to -2. It might also be helpful to remember the numerator as the rise and the denominator as run, or “rise over run” if you need to graph it.

Slope = -10/5 or -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope, often referred to as the variable “m” can be found by solving y2-y1/x2-x1. You can do it the opposite way, though make sure the y-values are on the top.

Answer:

-5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

-1-4=-5

8-(-2)=-6

the slope is m=-5/6

m=rise/run=y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

2x + 3y = 5x - y<br> Complete the missing value in the solution to the equation.<br> ( _ , 0 )
wariber [46]

Answer:

(4y/3, 0) or if there are no options, it's probably (0, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 5x - y

So we are trying to find the missing value in the solution (_, 0)

We are looking for the x-intercept/root if the coordinate is in this way:  (_, 0)

So to find the root, We are solving for x

2x + 3y = 5x - y

First, subtract 5x from bth sides

2x + 3y - 5x = 5x - y - 5x

2x + 3y - 5x = -y

Add like terms

-3x + 3y = -y

Now, subtract 3y from both sides

-3x + 3y - 3y = -y - 3y

-3x = -4y

Divide both sides by -3

-3x/-3 = -4y/-3

x = -4y/-3

We are not done yet because the answer above is not quite right. A negative number divided by a negative number results in a positive number.

So x = 4y/3

Now that we found x, we can input it to the coordinate

(4y/3, 0)

I put it on Sesmos graphing calculator and the answer seems to be (0, 0)

Two cruise ships leave port at the same time. Ship A sails north at a speed of 20 mph while Ship B sails east at a speed of 40 m
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

a) D(t) = \[20*\sqrt{5} * t\]

b) 178.885 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Ship A travels north at the rate of 20 mph.

Ship B travels east at the rate of 40 mph.

After t hours, Ship A is at a distance of 20t miles from the origin.

Similarly, Ship B is at a distance of 40t miles from the origin.

(a) Distance D(t) = \[\sqrt{(20t)^{2}+(40t)^{2}}\]

= \[\sqrt{400*t^{2}+1600 * (t)^{2}}\]

= \[\sqrt{2000*t^{2}}\]

= \[20*\sqrt{5} * t\]

(b) Distance between the two ships when t = 4,

= \[20*\sqrt{5} * 4\]

= \[80*\sqrt{5} \] miles

= 80 * 2.236

= 178.885 miles
