Answer:

-\frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula is:

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

Let's plug-in our numbers.

\frac{12 - 8}{4 - 10} = \frac{4}{-6} = -\frac{4}{6}

Now, we must simplify the fraction. We can do this by by finding the GCF (Greatest Common Factor). Let's list out what 6 and 4 have in common.

What can 6 be divided into?

2 * 3 = 6

1 * 6 = 6

What can 4 be divided into?

2 * 2 = 4

1 * 4 = 4

The GCF of these two numbers is 2!

-\frac{4\div2}{6\div2} = -\frac{2}{3}

So, our slope is -\frac{2}{3}

<h3>Another way to solve this is \frac{rise}{run}</h3>

I have shown how to do this in the picture below. We get the same answer solving this way as well.

Answer:

finger it out

Step-by-step explanation:

5/6 % 1/2 you flip the 1 and 2 so it will look like 2/1 then you multiply the fractions together

5/6 % 2 you make the 2 a frustration like 1/2 then you multiply 5/6 and 1/2 together

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first parabola has vertex (-1, 0) and y-intercept (0, 1).

We plug these values into the given vertex form equation of a parabola:

y - k = a(x - h)^2 becomes

y - 0 = a(x + 1)^2

Next, we subst. the coordinates of the y-intercept (0, 1) into the above, obtaining:

1 = a(0 + 1)^2, and from this we know that a = 1.  Thus, the equation of the first parabola is

y = (x + 1)^2

Second parabola:  We follow essentially the same approach.  Identify the vertex and the two horizontal intercepts.  They are:

vertex:  (1, 4)

x-intercepts:  (-1, 0) and (3, 0)

Subbing these values into y - k = a(x - h)^2, we obtain:

                                            0 - 4 = a(3 - 1)^2, or

                                                -4 = a(2)².  This yields a = -1.

Then the desired equation of the parabola is

y - 4 = -(x - 1)^2

Karen purchased a used vehicle that depreciates under a straight line method the initial value if the car is 4400 and the salvag
emmasim [6.3K]
It is expected to depreciate from 4400 to 800 in 6 years. The depreciation per year is the ratio
  depreciation per year = (total depreciation) / (number of years)

The total depreciation is the change in value, so the depreciation per year is
  (4400 - 800)/6 = 600

Karen expects the vehicle to depreciate by 600 each year.

A face of a solid is
nalin [4]

Answer:

In solid geometry, a face is a flat (planar) surface that forms part of the boundary of a solid object; a three-dimensional solid bounded exclusively by faces is a polyhedron. (OR) A face is a 2D shape that makes up one surface of a 3D shape, an edge is where two faces meet and a vertex is the point or corner of a geometric shape.
