<h3>Answer:  g = -2</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

We will use the slope formula

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

Plugging in the given items leads to

-5 = (g-8)/(6-4)

Now solve for g

-5 = (g-8)/(6-4)

-5 = (g-8)/2

-5*2 = g-8

-10 = g-8

-10+8 = g

-2 = g

g = -2

We have (6,g) turn into (6,-2)

The two points (4,8) and (6,-2) are on a line of slope -5.

-------------------

As a way to check, we'll find the slope of the line through (4,8) and (6,-2)

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

m = (-2-8)/(6-4)

m = -10/2

m = -5

The answer is confirmed.

Identify two methods in the Constitution to limit power of the national government?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
First, the principle of Check and Balance applies. The Check and Balance system is devised to have all the branches of the government from overpowering one another. This is done through having independent powers in the government. 

The next would be the principle that states that all powers not under the Federal government would be under the power of the State.

A pennant is shaped like a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 10feet. The length of one side of the pennant is two feet longer
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

6 ft and 8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the length of one leg then (x + 2) is the other leg.

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle, that is

x² + (x + 2)² = 10² ← expand left side and simplify

x² + x² + 4x + 4 = 100 ( subtract 100 from both sides )

2x² + 4x - 96 = 0 ( divide all terms by 2 )

x² + 2x - 48 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 8)(x - 6) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = - 8

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

But x > 0 ⇒ x = 6

Thus the 2 sides are 6 ft and x + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8 ft
