What is a slope on a graph

2 answers:

5 0

The slope on a graph is "rise over run" (rise/run)
The equation for slope is mx + b = y. (the mx is the slope)
To find the slope, you will see two points on your graph. From one point, count either upwards or downwards from the y axis till you reach to where the other point is. (this is the rise)
After finding the rise, you will then count either left or right across the x axis till you count to the other point.
For example, if you had one point at (-3,4) and another at (6,2)
The rise would be 6, and the run would be 6 as well.
hope this helps

<span> A line that never changes, so you can choose whatever two points you want and you will always get the same slope.

What is the value of x

slega [8]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A tangent line makes a right angle with the radius to the point of tangency. Hence this triangle is a right triangle, and x° is the complement of 36°:

x° = 90° -36° = 54°

The value of x is 54.

What is 2x-{2-[2(x-2)-(2-x)]}=0

Ludmilka [50]

$2x-(2-(2(x-2)-(2-x)))=0\\
2x-(2-(2x-4-2+x))=0\\
2x-(2-(3x-6))=0\\2x-(2-3x+6)=0\\
2x-(-3x+8)=0\\
2x+3x-8=0\\
5x=8\\
x=\dfrac{8}{5}$

Which of the following sums would be under the radical symbol to find the distance between the points (7, -1) and (-8, -9)?

fomenos

The "distance formula" an extension of the Pythagorean Theorem is:

d^2=(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2 in this case:

d^2=(-8-7)^2+(-9--1)^2

d^2=(-15)^2+(-8)^2

d^2=15^2+8^2

d=√(15^2+8^2)

So the answer is 15^2+8^2
