Answer:

The slope is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is ⇒ \displaystyle \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\displaystyle \frac{(-4)-8}{5-(-1)}=\frac{-12}{6}=\frac{-12\div6}{6\div6}=\frac{-2}{1}=-2

Therefore, the slope is 2, and the correct answer is 2.

so you just do the slope formula

which y2-y1 over x2-x1 in fraction form

so you would do

(-1 , 8)    (5  , -4)

(x1 , y1)  (x2 , y2)


             -4 - 8   over 5- (-1)

which would give you the fraction 12/6  

it can be simplified to 2

so 2 is your slope

hope it help

The sides of a square are 2^4/9 inches long. what is the area of the square?
bagirrra123 [75]
The Area of the square is (side)^2

side is given to be 2^(4/9)
SO,
side^2  = [2^(4/9)]^2 = 2^(4/9 * 2) = 2^(8/9)
so the area of square is 2^(8/9) sq. inches.

Use the Triangle Inequality Property to determine whether a triangle can be formed with the given side lengths. 4 m, 8 m, 9 m *
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Therefore a triangle can be formed with side lengths of 4 m, 8 m, 9 m

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. There are different types of triangles such as scalene, isosceles, equilateral and so on.

The triangle inequality property states that the sum of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side. If a, b and c are the sides of a triangle then:

a + b > c;   a + c > b;   b + c > a

Given a triangle with side length 4 m, 8 m, 9 m:

4m + 8m = 12m > 9m

4m + 9m = 13m > 8m

8m + 9m = 17m > 4m

Therefore a triangle can be formed with side lengths of 4 m, 8 m, 9 m.

4th term of an arithmetic sequence is 23 and its 11th term is 65, what is its common difference​
Rudik [331]

Answer:

d = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₄ = 23 and a₁₁ = 65 , then

a₁ + 3d = 23 → (1)

a₁ + 10d = 65 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate a₁

10d - 3d = 65 - 23

7d = 42 ( divide both sides by 7 )

d = 6
