The value of r so the line that passes through (-5,2) and (3,r) has a slope of -1/2 is -2
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that line is passing through point (-5, 2) and (3, r)
Slope of the line is 
Need to determine value of r.
Slope of a line passing through point
is given by following formula:
--- eqn 1

On substituting the given value in (1) we get

Hence the value of "r" is -2
Answer:
The answer is C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hit 'em with the Law of Sines.
sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b.
Let's say x is equal to "A", thus 5 is "a".
sin(x)/5 = sin(B)/b.
We could go for the obvious choice for "B", which would be the 90 degrees shown. To solve for the hypotenuse which will be "b", let's use the Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
5^2 + 20^2 = c^2
25 + 400 = 425
sqrt(425) = about 20.6, which we can now substitute "b" with.
sin(x)/5 = sin(90)/20.6
sin(x)/5 = 1/20.6
sin(x)/5 = 0.04854...
sin(x) = 0.2427...
You can plug in sin^-1(0.2427) into your calculator, and you should end up with something like 14.047... which equates to answer choice C.
The answer would be 1.25.
you can make it into an improper fraction if you want but there is no need for this problem
steps
1) 10 3/4- 5 1/4
10-5=5
3/4-1/4=2/4 or 1/2
answer:5 1/2 or 5 2/4
(it is better simplified)
