What is the slope of the line that goes through (2, 5) and (-6, -2) ?

1 answer:

7 0

Answer:
slope = 7/8

Explanation:
Slope of the line can be calculated using the following equation:
slope = $\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

The two points given are:
(2,5) representing (x1 , y1)
(-6,-2) representing (x2 , y2)

Substitute with the points in the above equation to get the slope as follows:
slope = $\frac{-2 - 5}{-6 - 2}$ = 7/8

Hope this helps :)

Two boys are running track. They decide to start in the northwest corner and go opposite directions around the rectangular track

Mariulka [41]

= <u>187.3 yards</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The set-up will represent a triangle whereby the :

Width = Height = 150 yards
Diagonal = Hypotenuse = 240 yards
Length = Base = ?

${a}^{2} = {c}^{2} - {b}^{2} \\ {a}^{2} = {240}^{2} - {150}^{2} \\ {a}^{2} = 57600 - 22500 \\ \sqrt{ {a}^{2} } = \sqrt{35100} \\ a = 187.3yards \: (rounded \: off \: to \: 1dp)$

a sphere has a diameter of 7 centimeters what is the surface area is 3.14 to approximate Pi round to the nearest hundredth if ne

Over [174]

Good idea to look up the formula for "surface area of a sphere" and to write it down for later reference. It is A=4 pi r^2, where r is the radius of the sphere.
If the given sphere has a diameter of 7 cm, what is the radius of this sphere?

Write your answer inside the parentheses, below:

Sphere surface area = 4 pi (r)^2, or (in this case), A = 4(3.14)( )^2
