Find the slope of the line that passes through (7,-1) and (9,0)

Mathematics
1 answer:
mafiozo [28]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

1/2 or 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

so to find the slope of two points you use the slope formula which is rise over run, y2-y1/x2-x1. so that would be -1-0/7-9. leading to -1/-2. so the slope is 1/2 or 0.5.

The Russo-Japanese War was a conflict between Russia and Japan that started in the year 190419041904. Let xxx represent any year
wel
The first thing we must do for this case is to define a variable.
 We have then:
 x: number of years before the Russo-Japanese conflict began
 We write now the inequality that models the problem.
 We know that the conflict began in the year 1904, therefore, all the previous years are given by:
 x <1904
 Answer:
 
an inequality in terms of x and 1904 that is true only for values of x that represent years before the start of the Russo-Japanese War is:
 
x <1904

Consider the parent function f(x) = x^2 and the transformed function f(x) =- 5(x - 4)^2 – 8. Identify the
madam [21]

Given:

The parent function is

f(x)=x^2

Consider the transformed function is g(x) instead of f(x) because both functions are different.

g(x)=-5(x-4)^2-8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

f(x)=x^2

g(x)=-5(x-4)^2-8

It can be written as

g(x)=-5f(x-4)-8            ...(i)

The translation is defined as

g(x)=kf(x+a)+b                .... (ii)

Where, k is stretch factor, a is horizontal shift and b is vertical shift.

If 0<|k|<1, then the graph compressed vertically by factor k and if |k|>1, then the graph stretch vertically by factor k.

If k is negative, then f(x) is reflected across the x-axis to get g(x).

If a>0, then the graph shifts a units left and if a<0, then the graph shifts a units right.

If b>0, then the graph shifts b units up and if b<0, then the graph shifts b units down.

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

a=-4, f(x) shifts 4 units right.

b=-8, f(x) shifts 8 units down.

k=-5, it is negative so f(x) reflected across the x-axis.

|k|=|-5|=5>1, so f(x) stretched vertically by factor 5.

Therefore, the function f(x) reflected across the x-axis, stretched vertically by factor 5 and shifted 4 units right 8 units down to get g(x).

William is 3 years older than Charmaine.The sum of 3 times charmaines age and 2 times Williams age is 76.How old are William and
astra-53 [7]
Charmaine= x
William=x+3
3 times Charmaine = 3x
2times William = 2x+6
5x+6=76
5x=76-6
5x=70
X=14
Charmaine is 14
William is 3 years older so is 17

Check:
17x2= 34
14x3=42
34+42=76

So Charmaine is 14
William is 17

A 2 pound box of salt sells for $.89 and a 5 pound box sells for 2.09. What is the linear equation for this?
castortr0y [4]
Y = ax + b;

0.89 = a * 2 + b and 2.09 = a * 5 + b =>
=> 2.09 - 0.89 = a * 5 + a * 2 + b - b => 1.20 = 3 * a => a = 1.20 / 3 => a = 0.40;
b = 0.89 - 0.40 * 2 => b = 0.89 - 0.80 => b = 0.09;

y = 0.40x + 0.09 => 0.40x - y + 0.09 = 0 is the linear equation.
