To find the slope, we will use the slope formula and two points that are on the line. You can choose any two points as long as they are on the line.

Point 1 = (0, -2)

Point 2 = (-2, 0)

Slope-Formula: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Now that we know our two points and the slope formula, all that's left to do is plug the points into the formula and simplify.

(0 - - 2) / (-2 - 0)

(2) / (-2)

-1

The slope of the line is -1.

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

See attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

In other to draw a mapping diagram for the ordered pairs (1,0) (3,0) (5,4) (7,4) (9,4).

We identify the domain and range:

The domain is the set of the first coordinates of the ordered pairs.

Domain={1,3,5,7,9}

The range is the set of all the second coordinates.

Range: {0,4}

If two pounds of meat will serve 5 people how many pounds will be needed to serve 13 people

miv72 [106K]

The answer is 5.2 pounds of meat. To find this just divide the number of people by what the information you have about servings. 13/5=2.6(number of sets), then you multiply that by how many pounds are in each set. 2.6 sets* 2 pounds per set= 5.2 pounds.
I hope this helped!

ms. James has a 6 square foot bulletin board and a 12 square food bulletin board. She wants to cover both boards with index card

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

<em>She need </em><em>72 </em><em>index cards.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Ms. James has a 6 square foot bulletin board and a 12 square food bulletin board and she wants to cover both boards with index cards without gaps or overlaps.

Each index card has an area of $\dfrac{1}{4}$ square foot.

Dividing the area of each board with the area of the index card will yield the the number of cards she needs to cover up completely.

Let us assume T₁ and T₂ are the number of cards she needs to cover 6 square feet food bulletin board and 12 square feet food bulletin board respectively. So

$T_1=\dfrac{6}{\frac{1}{4}}=24,\\\\T_2=\dfrac{12}{\frac{1}{4}}=48$

Therefore, in total she need 24+48=72 index cards.

What additional information is needed to prove triangle LMN is congruent to triangle KMN using the HL theorem?

IgorC [24]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

∠LMN is a right angle

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

If we want to prove that two right triangles are congruent by knowing that the corresponding hypotenuses and one leg are congruent, we begin as follows:

Since two legs are congruent and we know this by the hash marks, then the triangle ΔLKN is isosceles.
By definition LN ≅ NK

If ∠LMN is a right angle, then MN is the altitude of triangle ΔLKN
Also MN is the bisector of LK, so KM ≅ ML
So we have two right triangles ΔLMN and ΔKM having the same lengths of corresponding sides

In conclusion, ΔLMN ≅ ΔKMN
