Answer:
a. 1 1/2 (or 3/2)
b. 2/3
c. 1
d. 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A: (1,1) (7,5)
To determine the slope, you will use the equation m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Keep in mind that it doesn't matter what point you use for (x1, y1) or (x2, y2).
Let's plug in the numbers for part a:
m=(7-1)/(5-1)
Let's then solve the problems inside the parentheses:
m=6/4
And finally, we simplify:
m=3/2 (or 1 1/2 depending on what your teacher wants for an answer)
For these others, I will just go through the steps and not explain them, if you need help or don't understand something I'm doing, either look back at what I did for part a or comment on this answer.
Part B: (1,1) (5,7)
m=(5-1)/(7-1)
m=(4/6)
m=2/3
Part C: (2,5) (-1,2)
m=(-1-2)/(2-5)
m=(-3/-3)
m=1
Part D: (2,5) (-7,-4)
m=(-7-2)/(-4-5)
m=(-9/-9)
m=1
Because ABCD is a rectangle, the length of CD is 12 cm.
We need to determine the length of DE. If we can do that, then the sum of the lengths of CD and DE represents the unknown: the length of CE.
To find the length of CE, we have to "solve" the upper triangle.
Here's an outline of what to do:
1. Show that BC=AD and find the length.
2. Note that angle CAD is 60 degrees. Why?
3. Note that angle EAD is 30 degrees. Why?
4. Find the length of ED
5. Add ED and DC, that is, ED + 12 cm. This is your answer.
Please ask questions if need be.
Answer:
4 ways (WW-BB-WB-BW)
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question , we have to simplify the given ratio, which is
12xy:3x
First we have to see which factor is common in numerator and denominator,
We can write 12 as 3 times 4, that is

So the common factor is 3x.
In the next step, we cancel out 3x

And that's the required simplified form .
