You've got five different problems in this photo ... four on top and the word problem on the bottom ... and they're all exactly the same thing: Taking two points and finding the slope of the line that goes through them.
In every case, the procedure is the same.
If the two points are (x₁ , y₁) and (x₂ , y₂) , then
the slope of the line that goes through them is
Slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) .
This is important, and you should memorize it.
#1). (8, 10) and (-7, 14)
Slope = (14 - 10) / (-7 - 8) = 4 / -15
#2). (-3, 1) and (-17, 2)
Slope = (2 - 1) / (-17 - -3) = (2 - 1) / (-17 + 3) = 1 / -14
#3). (-20, -4) and (-12, -10)
Slope = [ -10 - (-4) ] / [ -12 - (-20) ]
=========================================
The word problem:
This question only gives you one point on the graph,
and then it wants to know what's the slope ?
What are you going to do for another point ?
A "proportional relationship" always passes through the origin,
so another point on the line is (0, 0) .
Now you have two points on THAT line too, and you can easily
find its slope.
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
In #4, the angles are vertical because the angles are congruent to each other. Therefore, you would set up the equation x+8=120 where x=112.
In #5, the angles are complementary because their sum is 90°. Therefore, you would set up the equation 43+x+3=90 where x=44.
In #6, the angles are supplementary because their sum is 180°. Therefore, you would set up the equation 76+2x+4=180 where x=50.
I think the answer would be 1.
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
This means that 12/(2x+1)=8/(x+4). Cross multiply to get 16x + 8 = 12x + 48. Subtract 12x + 8 from both sides to get 4x = 40, so x = 10.
Answer:
Congurent triangles are those which map onto them selves perfectly. This means they share the same angle measurements and side lengths. Therefor we can figure out the side lengths by using the information in both triangles.
AD=5x+11
in the congurent triangle, the corresponding side equals:
CM=7x-3
CM and AD are congurent triangles meaning their sidelengths equal the same. Therefore...
5x+11=7x-3
Now we just solve to find the length of AD and CM (equal lengths)
5x+11=7x-3
11=2x-3
14=2x
7=x
x=7
If x=7 then we can plug it in for AD to find the side length.
5(7)+11=46
Notice that CM equals the same 7(7)-3=46
This is because... they are congruent triangles.
These rules also apply for all angle measurements of congruent triangles:
The m<v is equal to the meaasure of E (corresponding angles in congrurent triangles are equal)
We already astablished what x was (x=7) meaning if we find the measure of E then we have the measure of V sicne they are corresponding angles in a congrurent triangle.
(6x7+1)=43°
therefore the m<v is equal to 43°
46 and 43° is your answer
