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

What is the first step in proving that the sum of the measures of triangle XYZ is 180 degrees?

mylen [45]

In geometry, the definition of a triangle is a two-dimensional closed figure with three sides. Aside from this, it is proven that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°. This is a triangle's innate property. Therefore, any closed shape with three sides is a triangle and it follows that the sum of the three angles is equal to 180°.

It is logical therefore, that the first step in proving this is by using the definition of a triangle.

Select the correct expressions. 1 Identify each expression that represents the slope of a tangent to the curve y= * +1 at any po

Olegator [25]

The expressions which represents the slope of a tangent to the curve $y=\frac{1}{x+1}$ at any point (x, y) are:

$f'(x) =limh \rightarrow 0\frac{-h}{h(x+1)(x+h+1)}\\\\f'(x) =limh \rightarrow 0\frac{-h}{x^2h+2xh+xh^2+h^2 +1}$

<h3>The slope of a tangent to the curve.</h3>

Mathematically, the slope of a tangent line to the curve is given by this equation:

$f'(x) =limh \rightarrow 0\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$

Given the function:

$f(x)=y=\frac{1}{x+1}$

When (x + h), we have:

$f(x+h)=y=\frac{1}{x+h+1}$

Next, we would find the derivative of f(x):

$f'(x) =limh \rightarrow 0\frac{\frac{1}{x+h+1} -\frac{1}{x+1}}{h}\\\\f'(x) =limh \rightarrow 0\frac{x+1 -(x+h+1)}{h(x+1)(x+h+1)}\\\\f'(x) =limh \rightarrow 0\frac{x+1 -x-h-1}{h(x+1)(x+h+1)}\\\\f'(x) =limh \rightarrow 0\frac{-h}{h(x+1)(x+h+1)}\\\\f'(x) =limh \rightarrow 0\frac{-h}{x^2h+2xh+xh^2+h^2 +1}\\\\f'(x) = \frac{-1}{(x+1)(x+1)} \\\\f'(x) = \frac{-1}{(x+1)^2}$
