1. Find the slope of a line that passes through the points (-1,-4) and (5, -1).

1 answer:

7 0

The answer is A. 1/2

(-1,-4) are (x1, y1)
(5,-1) are (x2, y2)
So you subtract y2-y1/x2-x1 = -1-(-4)/5-(-1)
-1-(4) = 3
5-(-1) = 6
3/6= 1/2
Slope is 1/2 making A your answer

Answer:

180 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

25 inches per minute

in 1 hour (60 minutes) :

25*60 = 1500

28 inches per minute

in 1 hour (60 minutes) :

28 * 60 = 1680

1680-1500 = 180

What is the y-intercept of a line perpendicular to y= 1/2x + 6 that passes through the point (4,-3)

Finger [1]

Answer:

(0,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes which are negative reciprocals of each other. The slope of the line y=1/2x + 6 is 1/2. The slope perpendicular to it is -2.

Using m=-2, substitute it and (4,-3) into the point slope form and simplify to find the y-intercept.

$y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\y--3=-2(x-4)\\y+3=-2(x-4)\\y+3=-2x+8\\y=-2x+5$

The equation is now in slope intercept form y=mx+b and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of y=-2x+5 is (0,5).
