Answer:

-1/2, negative slope

Step-by-step explanation:

As per graph it is visible that the slope is negative, it goes down when x-value increases

Use two points to find the slope:

(-4, -1) and (0, -3)

Slope formula:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Value of the slope:

m = (-3 - (-1))/(0 - (-4)) = -2/4 = -1/2

Evaluate the expression (-6) squared

$\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Question} \downarrow}$

Evaluate the expression ⇨ (-6) squared.

$\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}$

$\sf (-6) \: squared$

This will be equal to..

$\sf( - 6 ) ^ { 2 }$

Multiply -6 by itself (squaring a number means to multiply the number by itself twice)

$\sf- 6 \times - 6 \\$

-6 multiplied by-6 will get you 36 as the answer.

$= \boxed{\boxed{\bf \: 36}}$

Find a and b if the point p(6,0) and Q(3,2) lie on the graph of ax+ by=12

tiny-mole [99]

to get the equation of any straight line we only need two points off of it, hmmm let's use P and Q here and then let's set the equation in standard form, that is

standard form for a linear equation means

• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions

• only the constant on the right-hand-side

• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted

• "x" must not have a negative coefficient

$(\stackrel{x_1}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{2}-\stackrel{y1}{0}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{3}-\underset{x_1}{6}}}\implies \cfrac{2}{-3}\implies -\cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{0}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{2}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{6})$

$\stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{3}}{3(y-0)~~ = ~~3\left( -\cfrac{2}{3}(x-6) \right)}\implies 3y=-2(x-6) \\\\\\ 3y=-2x+12 \implies \stackrel{a}{2} x+\stackrel{b}{3} y=12$

Geometry math question no Guessing and Please show work thank you

nasty-shy [4]

We can name an angle either by naming its vertex or by three letters , keeping the letter of vertex in between.

so here vertex is F

we can name it as ∠EFG, ∠F , ∠GFE

This strikes out the option B that is ∠G

so option B is the answer
