The slope of the line passing through points (-5,-2) and (3,-9) is -7/8.

To solve for the slope, we can use the slope formula:

m = (y2 — y1) / (x2 — x1)

Let (x1,y1) = (-5,2)
(x2,y2) = (3,-9)

Plug in the values into the slope formula:

m = (y2 — y1) / (x2 — x1)

m = [(-9 — (-2)] / [(3 — (-5)]

m = (-9 + 2) / (3 + 5)

m = -7/8

Therefore, the slope of the line is -7/8.

How many 3 letter codes are possible using a-j without repeats?

Dennis_Churaev [7]

There are 10 letters in the set {a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j} which is the pool of letters to choose from when making these three letter codes.

We have 10 choices for slot 1
Then 9 choices for slot 2. This is because we can't reuse the choice for slot 1
Then 8 choices for slot 3

Overall, there are 10*9*8 = 90*8 = 720 different permutations

Answer: 720

Note: you can use the nPr permutation formula with n = 10 and r = 3 to get the same answer

from a window 20 feet above the ground, the angle of elevation to the top of another building is 35 degrees. The distance betwee

NISA [10]

Answer:

56.4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent of the angle relates the opposite side (height above the window) to the adjacent side (distance between buildings) in the right triangle that models this geometry.

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

tan(35°) = (height above window)/(distance between buildings)

height above window = (52 ft)tan(35°) ≈ 36.4 ft

Added to the window height of 20 ft, the height of the other building is ...

20 ft + 36.4 ft = 56.4 ft
