What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 3) and (5, –2)?

m=-(5/4)

From left to right, (1,3) is first and then comes (5,-2). Always remember when finding slopes without equations, the rule is RISE over RUN, to the numerator and denominator, respectively.

The y value of the second coordinates becomes negative which is unlike the y value in the first coordinates, which means our slope is downward, meaning it has a negative sign in front.

In every slope, there’s a numerator, being the rise, and a denominator, being the run.

To find the rise, we must look at the y values. Starting at 3 going to -2 has a space of 5 units, making that our numerator.

To find the run, the first x value is 1 and the second is 5, making a space of 4, which is out denominator.

With these two numbers and the negative sign, we get -(5/4) as our slope.

Answer:

54°

Step-by-step explanation:

Your triangle is isosceles. You have been given the third angle, and you have been asked to find the measure of one of the two equal angles. We know that the internal angles of a triangle sum to 180, so 72+x+x=180 \rightarrow 2x=108 \rightarrow x = 54

Answer: Part a) 375 pounds, Part b) 8 words

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

<u />

Since n represents the number of words there are, we can plug in 20 for n into the equation to get:

C = 15*20 + 75 pounds

C = 300 + 75 pounds

C = 375 pounds

b)

Since C represents the cost of the advert, we can plug in 195 for C into the equation to get:

195 = 15n + 75

Subtract 75 from both sides:

120 = 15n

Divide both sides by 15:

n = 8 words

Name the figure below in two different ways.<br> C<br> J<br> b
Irina18 [472]

Based on the letters representing the the given figure, two different ways that it can be named are CJB and BJC.

<h3>What other ways can the figured be named?</h3><h3 />

The figure has the midpoint of J.

This means that when you are naming the figure, J has to be in the middle of either of the names that you choose.

You can therefore name the shape CJB which would mean that C is the starting point and B is the ending point.

Or you could name it BJC with B being the starting and C being the ending.

Rest of the question:

Shape description is that of a line that has three different points which are C, J, and B.
