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!

Suppose Casey Title Company normally charges $300 for services related to selling a house. As part of a summer special, Casey of

g100num [7]

Given :

Casey's company charges , C = $300.

In summer special, Casey offers customers a trade discount of 25%.

To Find :

Charges during summer.

Solution :

Let, x is the amount of charges they take during summer.

Casey offers customers a trade discount of 25%.

$x =300(1-\dfrac{25}{100})\\\\x=300(1 - 0.25)\\\\x=300(0.75)\\\\x=\$225$

Therefore, amount of charges during summers are $225.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Rectangle ABCD has vertices at (-7,-2); (1, -2); (1, -8); and (-7, -8) respectively. If GHJK is a similar rectangle where G(2, 5

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Points J and K could be located at:

J(2,2)

K(6,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the vertices have a x and y coordinate:

A: x coordinate=-7 y coordinate=-2

B: x coordinate=1 y coordinate=-2

C: x coordinate=1 y coordinate=-8

D: x coordinate=-7 y coordinate=-8

G: x coordinate=2 y coordinate=5

H: x coordinate=6 y coordinate=5

Then it is possible to calculate the distance between the x and y coordinates:

x coordinate of Vertices AB:

x coordinate of B- x coordinate of A=1-(-7)=8

The distance between A and B is 8

y coordinate of Vertices AC:

y coordinate of A- y coordinate of C=-2-(-8)=6

The distance between A and C is 6

Then we know that the side AB of Rectangle ABCD measures 8 and the side AC, measures 6.

Repeat the analysis with Rectangle GHJK. In this case, is only possible to calculate the distance with x coordinate.

x coordinate of Vertices GH:

x coordinate of H- x coordinate of G=6-(2)=4

The distance between G and H is 4

We can see that the distance in x of the Rectangle ABCD is 8, and the distance in x of the Rectangle GHJK is 4, it means that the measure of ABCD is twice GHJK.

Then, if the distance in y coordinate of Vertices AC is 6, we could say that the distance in y coordinate of Vertices GJ is 3.

Points J and K could be located at:

J(2,2)

K(6,2)

Answer:

55+x+74+54= 180 degree ( being the sum of all angle of the triangle )

or, 183 +x = 180degree

or, x=(180-183)degree

or, x= -3degree ans
