You've got five different problems in this photo ... four on top and the word problem on the bottom ... and they're all exactly the same thing: Taking two points and finding the slope of the line that goes through them.
In every case, the procedure is the same.
If the two points are (x₁ , y₁) and (x₂ , y₂) , then
the slope of the line that goes through them is
Slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) .
This is important, and you should memorize it.
#1). (8, 10) and (-7, 14)
Slope = (14 - 10) / (-7 - 8) = 4 / -15
#2). (-3, 1) and (-17, 2)
Slope = (2 - 1) / (-17 - -3) = (2 - 1) / (-17 + 3) = 1 / -14
#3). (-20, -4) and (-12, -10)
Slope = [ -10 - (-4) ] / [ -12 - (-20) ]
=========================================
The word problem:
This question only gives you one point on the graph,
and then it wants to know what's the slope ?
What are you going to do for another point ?
A "proportional relationship" always passes through the origin,
so another point on the line is (0, 0) .
Now you have two points on THAT line too, and you can easily
find its slope.
Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
To find the surface area of a pyramid, start by multiplying the perimeter of the pyramid by its slant height. Then, divide that number by 2. Finally, add the number you get to the area of the pyramid's base to find the surface area.
Answer:
Graph of the inequality x< -3 as shown below in the figure.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the inequality: x < -3
Graph of this inequality as shown below in the figure.
All the points that are lie in the shaded area satisfy the equation x < -3 or
In other words, we can say that x can take any value less than -3 .
x ≠ -3 or any number that is greater than -3.
Since there is a strict inequality i.e x < -3 , the points that lie on the line x = -3 does not satisfy the equation.
Therefore, the dotted line is marked at x = -3
Hey there!!
Let us take the first number as ' x '
According to the question
The second number exceeds the first number by 15
hence, the second number = x+15
The sum of both the numbers = 69
which means
x + x + 15 = 69
2x+15 = 69
Subtracting by 15 on both sides
2x + 15 - 15 = 69 - 15
2x = 54
dividing by 2 on both sides
x = 27
first number = 27
second number = 27 + 15
= 42
Hope my answer helps!
