Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation $\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ , the points are (-5, -3) and (2, 4), so to know which is which just do it by order, so in this case $y_{1} = 4, y_{2} = -3, x_{1} = -5, x_{2} = 2$ basically like i said, just in order.

So let's separate the equations into 2 for now:

$y_{2} - y_{1}$ = 4 - (-3) = 4 + 3 = 7

$x_{2} - x_{1}$ = 2 - (-5) = 2 + 5 = 7

So put it together into the fraction and it's 7/7 which is 1, so the slope is 1

The slope is 1.

rise = 7
run = 7

7/7 = 1

The scale factor to dilate Triangle ABC to Triangle DEF is _.

zaharov [31]

1/2

If ABC ~ DEF then 12/6, 16/8, and 18/9 would equal 2
BUT since we are going from a large triangle to a small triangle, our answer needs to be less then one, making our answer 1/2

SOLUTION: a diver jumps from a diving board that is 24 feet above the water. the height of the diver is given by h= -16(t-1.5)(t

lara [203]

Answer:

The diver will hit the water at 1.5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$h= -16(t-1.5)(t+1)$

Required (Missing from the question)

When will the diver hit the water?

To do this, we simply solve for t

When the diver hits the water, the height is 0 (at that point)

So, substitute 0 for h in $h= -16(t-1.5)(t+1)$

$0= -16(t-1.5)(t+1)$

Divide both sides by -16

$\frac{0}{-16} =\frac{-16(t-1.5)(t+1)}{-16}$

$\frac{0}{-16} =(t-1.5)(t+1)$

$0 =(t-1.5)(t+1)$

$(t-1.5)(t+1)=0$

Split

$t - 1.5 = 0$ or $t + 1 = 0$

Solve for t

$t = 1.5$ or $t = -1$

But time (t) can not be negative.

So:

$t = 1.5$

Hence, the diver will hit the water at 1.5 seconds

In how many years will the interest on £100 at 6% amount to £12?

lesya [120]

Given:
Principal = £100
Interest rate = 6%
Interest = £12

Simple Interest is computed by multiplying the principal by its interest rate and term

Interest = Principal * rate * term
12 = 100 * 0.06 * term
12 = 6 * term
12/6 = term
2 = term

It will take 2 years for £100 to earn £12 at 6%
