Answer:

-5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

with slope always remember rise over run, vertically, the dots are 5 points away from each other so that is your rise. Horizontally they are only 2 away so that's your run. the answer is negative because the slope goes down to the right. If it went up to the right then the slope would be positive.

Answer:
-5/2

Explanation:
The formula for slope is rise/run. If you start at the point (1, -2), you can go up 5 and left 2 to get to the other point.
Since the line goes downwards, the slope must be a negative. This leaves you with -5/2.
Hope this helps!

Which equation is equivalent to 2 Superscript 4 x Baseline = 8 Superscript x minus 3?

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

2 Superscript 4 x Baseline = 2 Superscript 3 x minus 9

8^(x-3) = 2^(3x-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

2⁴ × 8^(x - 3)

2⁴ × (2³)^(x-3)

2⁴ × 2^(3x - 9)

Since the bases are same now, powers can be added

2^(4 + 3x - 9)

2^(3x - 5)

What are the coordinates of the endpoints of the midsegment for DEF that is parallel to DE

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

$\left(\dfrac{x_D+x_F}{2},\dfrac{y_D+y_F}{2}\right),$ $\left(\dfrac{x_E+x_F}{2},\dfrac{y_E+y_F}{2}\right).$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let points D, E and F have coordinates $(x_D,y_D),\ (x_E,y_E)$ and $(x_F,y_F).$

1. Midpoint M of segment DF has coordinates

$\left(\dfrac{x_D+x_F}{2},\dfrac{y_D+y_F}{2}\right).$

2. Midpoint N of segment EF has coordinates

$\left(\dfrac{x_E+x_F}{2},\dfrac{y_E+y_F}{2}\right).$

3. By the triangle midline theorem, midline MN is parallel to the side DE of the triangle DEF, then points M and N are endpoints of the midsegment for DEF that is parallel to DE.

If the value of x=4, y=3 and z= -2 find the value of 2x+3z

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find value:

2x + 3z

Given values:

x = 4, y = 3 and z = -2

Solution:

2x + 3z

(Putting the values of x = 4 and z = -2)

= 2(4) + 3(-2)

= 8 - 6

= 2 (Ans)
