Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x₁  ,y₁) = (0,-11)     & (x₂ , y₂) =   (8,-8)

Slope = \dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\

          =\dfrac{-8-[-11]}{8-0}\\\\=\dfrac{-8+11}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{3}{8}

To find the slope of a line, we can use the following formula:

\displaystyle \large{m =  \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} }

m-term stands for slope or gradient. The formula is useful whenever you want to find a slope of two points.

Let these be the following:

\displaystyle \large{(x_1,y_1) = (0, - 11)} \\  \displaystyle \large{(x_2,y_2) = (8, - 8)}

Substitute the points in formula:

\displaystyle \large{m =  \frac{ - 8 -( - 11)}{ 8 - 0} }

Negative multiply negative always come out as positive.

\displaystyle \large{m =  \frac{ - 8  +  11}{ 8 - 0} } \\  \displaystyle \large{m =  \frac{ 3}{ 8 } } \\

Since m stands for slope, we can say that:

\displaystyle  \large \boxed{ \tt{slope  =  \frac{3}{8} }}

What is the factored form of the quadratic equation y=x2+4x-12? <br><br> PLEASE HELP ME!!!
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

(x + 6)(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is $ y = x^2 + 4x - 12 $.

A quadratic equation can be factored in the form $ (x - a) (x - b) $ where $ -a $ and $ -b $ will form the roots of the equation

Here the roots are $ - 6 $ and $ 2 $.

The factored form would simply be: $ (x + 6) (x - 2) = 0 $.

Thus the answer.

Find the value of x!!
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

x=23°

Step-by-step explanation:

93°+(3x+18)°=180°

93°+3x+18°=180°

111°+3x=180°

3x=180°-111°

3x=69°

x=69°:3

x=23°
