The equation for slope is:
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
-2 -(-7) = 5
-9 -(-1) = -8
Slope of the line:
5/-8 or -5/8
9514 1404 393
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let k represent Kim's age. Then Jack's age is k-5 and the total of their ages is ...
k + (k -5) = 21
2k = 26 . . . . . . . add 5, collect terms
k = 13 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2; Kim's age
k -5 = 8 . . . . . . . Jack's age
Kim is 13; Jack is 8.
Quinn is flying a kite. The angle of elevation formed by the kite string and the ground is 46°, and the kite string forms a straight segment that is 80 feet long.Explain how to find the distance between the ground and the kite. Include a description of the triangle you drew to help you solve, including the variables and measurements you assigned to each side and angle. Round your answer to the nearest foot. sin(θ) = opposite/hypotenusesin(46°) = y/80y = 80sin(46°)plug this in you calculator to get y = 58 feet

Answer:
8:3
16:6
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's check if 9 and 24 have any common factor. If they do have any common ones, we must find the GCF (greatest common factor).
Factors of 9: 1, 3, 9
Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
The common factors both of the numbers share and 1 and 3. To find the GCF, simply compare one of the factors to the other.
1 < 3
Now that we know the GCF, we can divide the two numbers in the ratio 24 : 9 by it (3).
24:9
24/3:9/3
<u>8:3</u>
Now that our ratio is simplified, it's going to be much easier to find more ratios that are equivalent. <u>8:3</u> is already one equivalent ratio, but if we multiply each number in the ratio by any other number, we can get a new equivalent ratio. Let's multiply each number in the ratio by 2:
<u>8:3</u>
8 ⋅ 2:3 ⋅ 2
<u>16:6</u>
<u></u>
So, another equivalent ratio to 24:9 (and <u>8:3</u>) is <u>16:6</u>.
