Answer:

The answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1} \\$

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(-4, 2) and (6, 8)

The slope is

$m = \frac{8 - 2}{6 + 4} = \frac{6}{10} = \frac{3}{5} \\$

We have the final answer as

$\frac{3}{5} \\$

Hope this helps you

Solve this equation -3(6 + 6b) + 4 = -104

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

b = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(6 + 6b) + 4 = -104

-18 - 18b + 4 = -104

-18b = -104 + 18 - 4

-18b = -90

b = -90 / -18

b = 5.

A midwestern music competition awarded 38 ribbons. The number of blue ribbons awarded was 1 less than the number of white ribbon

Artist 52 [7]

Starting from what I know (the difference between ribbons), I decided to go from the bottom and work my way up. I then noticed a pattern (each sum was three more of the previous one), and decided to keep my pattern of the three numbers but not have to do any major mental work and instead add three to the previous sum until I got to 38.

Prove that the triangle EDF is isosceles. Give reasons for your answer.

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

$\triangle EDF$ is isosceles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please have a look at the attached figure.

We are given the following things:

$\angle EDF = y$

$\text{External }\angle DFG = 90 +\dfrac{y}{2}$

Let us try to find out $\angle E$ and $\angle DFE$ . After that we will compare them.

Finding  $\angle DFE$ :

Side EG is a straight line so $\angle GFE = 180$

$\angle GFE$ is sum of internal $\angle DFE$ and external $\angle DFG$

$\angle GFE = 180 = \angle DFE + \angle DFG\\\Rightarrow 180 = \angle DFE + (90+\dfrac{y}{2})\\\Rightarrow \angle DFE = 180 - 90 - \dfrac{y}{2}\\\Rightarrow \angle DFE = 90 - \dfrac{y}{2} ....... (1)$
