Answer:

$\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to find the slope of the line is $m=\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}$ . Let us have (6,-1) as $(x_1,y_1)$ and (2,-7) as $(x_2,y_2)$ :

$m=\frac{-1-(-7)}{6-2} \\m=\frac{6}{4}\\\\m=\frac{3}{2}$

Therefore, the slope of the line is $\frac{3}{2}$

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)

Form a polynomial whose real zeros and degree are given. zeros: negative 2−2,negative 1−1,44, 55; degree: 4 type a polyno

prisoha [69]

We write the polynomial in its factored form first.
We have then:
(x + 2) * (x + 1) * (x-4) * (x-5)
We now rewrite the polynomial:
(x ^ 2 + x + 2x + 1) * (x ^ 2-5x-4x + 20)
(x ^ 2 + 3x + 1) * (x ^ 2-9x + 20)
x ^ 4 - 9x ^ 3 + 20x ^ 2 + 3x ^ 3 - 27x ^ 2 + 60x + x ^ 2 - 9x + 20
We now add terms of the same degree:
x ^ 4 + (-9 + 3) x ^ 3 + (20-27 + 1) x ^ 2 + (60-9) x + (20)
x ^ 4 + (-6) x ^ 3 + (-6) x ^ 2 + (21) x + (20)
x ^ 4 - 6x ^ 3 - 6x ^ 2 + 21x + 20
Answer:
The polynomial sought is:
x ^ 4 - 6x ^ 3 - 6x ^ 2 + 21x + 20

For the triangles to be congruent by HL, what must be the value of x?

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

For the triangles to be congruent, then the legs

ED = AB, that is

4x + 2 = 34 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

4x = 32 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 8
