Answer:

- 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the following equation to calculate slope between two points:

( Y2 - Y1 ) / ( X2 - X1 )

What's Y2? Y1? X2? X1?

( -1, 6 )

-1 = X1

6 = Y1

( 5, 5 )

5 = X2

5 = Y2

So when we plug in those numbers:

5 - 6 = - 1

5 - (-1) = 6

- 1/6

To solve y and x, I am adding a picture

Viktor [21]

Answer:

$x =\sqrt 5$

$y = \sqrt{5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached triangle

Required

Solve for x

Considering angle 45 degrees, we have:

$\cos(45) = \frac{y}{\sqrt{10}}$ --- cosine formula i.e. adj/hyp

Solve for y

$y = \sqrt{10} * \cos(45)$

In radical form, we have:

$y = \sqrt{10} * \frac{1}{\sqrt 2}$

$y = \sqrt{10/2}$

$y = \sqrt{5$

To solve for x, we make use of Pythagoras theorem

$x^2 + y^2 = (\sqrt{10})^2$

$x^2 + y^2 =10$

Substitute for y

$x^2 + (\sqrt 5)^2 =10$

$x^2 + 5 =10$

Collect like terms

$x^2 =10-5$

$x^2= 5$

Solve for x

$x =\sqrt 5$

What values of b satisfy 4(3b + 2)2 = 64?

Vikentia [17]

Given the equation 4(3b + 2)² = 64, dividing both sides of the equation by 4, we have (3b + 2)² = 16 and getting the square root of both sides, (3b + 2) = 4 and (3b + 2) = -4 We can solve for b for each equation and have 3b = 2 | 3b = -6 b = 2/3 | b = -2 Therefore, the values of b are 2/3 and -2 and from the choices, the answer is <span>A: b = 2/3 and b = -2.</span>
