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

Mathematics
1 answer:
alexira [117]3 years ago
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 :)

<h3>How do we measure and calculate the distance in Geometry?</h3>

The distance between two points in geometry can be calculated by using the Pythagoras theorem.

Mathematically, the Pythagoras theorem can be expressed as:

\mathbf{d = \sqrt{x^2 +y^2}}

where;

  • x and y are opposite and adjacent sides respectively.

\mathbf{d = \sqrt{(9)^2 +(12)^2}}

\mathbf{d = \sqrt{81+144}}

\mathbf{d = \sqrt{225}}

d = 15 miles  

Therefore, we can conclude that they will be 15 miles apart after one hour if they left the same point at the same time.

Is a measure of 26 inches​ "far away" from a mean of 16 ​inches? As someone with knowledge of​ statistics, you answer​ "it depen
alexandr402 [8]

Answer: Hello!

In a normal distribution, between the mean and the mean plus the standar deviation, there is a 34.1% of the data set, between the mean plus the standar deviation, and the mean between two times the standard deviation, there is a 16.2% of the data set, and so on.

If our mean is 16 inches, and the measure is 26 inches, then the difference is 10 inches between them.

a) if the standar deviation is 2 inches, then you are 10/2 = 5 standar deviations from the mean.

b) yes, is really far away from the mean, in a normal distribution a displacement of 5 standar deviations has a very small probability.

c) Now the standar deviation is 7, so now 26 is in the range between 1 standar deviation and 2 standar deviations away from the mean.

Then this you have a 16% of the data, then in this case, 26 inches is not far away from the mean.

Group Work 2.6 Newton's Law of Cooling states that an object cools at a rate proportional to the difference between the temperat
Airida [17]

Answer:

ΔT = ΔT0 e^-K T

As I understand Newton's Law of Cooling

ΔT at any time is the difference between the temperature and the surroundings

Originally       ΔT0 = 95 - 22   difference between 95 and room temperature

65 - 22 = 33 = 73 e^-KT      where t is time to cool to 65 deg

ln (33/73) = -KT       K = .794 / 5 = .159    where 5 is time to cool to 65 deg

40 - 22 = 73 e^-.159 T      where t is time to cool to 40 deg

18 = 73 e^-.159 T

ln (18 / 73) = -.159 T

T = 8.8 min

It would take 8.8 min for the object to cool to 40 deg C

Suppose the object cooled from 95 to 90 deg, then

ln 68 / 73 = -.159 T     and T = .45 min
