Explain to me in words how you would find the slope of this line and explain answer

Mathematics
1 answer:
Andrews [41]3 years ago

Answer:
7/3

Explanation:
The slope of the line is equal to the rise/run, or in other words, the number of units the line travels upwards over the number of units the line travels to the right.

We can identify the slope using any two points on the line. Here, we can use the two points that are marked on the picture. The second point is 7 units above the first and 3 units to the right of the first, so the slope of the line is equal to 7/3.

Another way to calculate the slope of the line is the use this formula:

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

The first point is at the coordinate (1,-4) and second point is at the coordinate (4,3). When we plug these two coordinates into the equation, we get this:

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
->(3-(-4))/(4-1)

When we simply the fraction, we would get 7/3 and that would give us the slope.

I hope this helps!

Y-1=5/6(x-4) in standard form
scoray [572]
           y - 1 = ⁵/₆(x - 4)
           y - 1 = ⁵/₆(x) - ⁵/₆(4)
           y - 1 = ⁵/₆x - 3¹/₃
             + 1         + 1
                 y = ⁵/₆x - 2¹/₃
        ⁻⁵/₆x + y = ⁵/₆x - ⁵/₆x - 2¹/₃
   -6(⁻⁵/₆x + y) = -6(-2¹/₃)
-6(⁻⁵/₆x) - 6(y) = 14
         5x - 6y = 14

1. Solve for x. Then find the angle measures of the<br>triangle?<br>(4x)<br>(6x+55)<br>(9x+30)​
nalin [4]

Answer:

x =  5.

First angle = 20°,  Second angle = 85°,  Third angle  = 75°

Step-by-step explanation:

The first angle of the triangle  =  (4 x)

The second  angle of the triangle  =  (6x + 55)

The third angle of the triangle  =  (9x + 30)

By ANGLE SUM PROPERTY of a triangle:

First angle + Second  angle +  Third angle  = 180°

⇒ (4 x)  + (6x+55)   +  (9x+30)​  = 180°

or, (4x + 6x + 9x) + ( 55 + 30) =  180°

or, 19x = 180 - 85

or, 19 x  = 95   ⇒ x = 95 /19 = 5

or, x = 5

Hence, first angle of the triangle =  (4 x) = 4 x 5 = 20°

Second angle = ( 6x + 30)  = 6(5) + 55 = 85°

Third angle = (9x  + 30  = 9(5) + 30 = 75°

intro urna sunt 24 de bile albe si 16 bile negre. se extrage la intamplare o bila . probabilitatea ca bila extrasa sa fie alba e
garri49 [273]

Answer:

\frac{3}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of white balls  = 24

Number of black balls  = 16

Unknown:

The probability that white ball is drawn at random = ?

Solution:

The probability of an event is the likelihood of such an event to occur. That an event will occur has a probability of 1, it will not occur have a probability of zero.

In this problem, the total number of outcomes of drawing any ball has sample space of (24 + 16)outcomes  = 40outcomes.

Probability of an event  = \frac{number of successful outcome}{sample space}

                  Pr(white balls) = \frac{24}{40}   = \frac{3}{5}
