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!! :)

In ∆MNP, m∠N = 90º, NH – altitude, m∠P = 21º, PM = 4 cm. Find MH.

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

0.51 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In right triangle MNP, MP = 4 cm, m∠N = 90°, m∠P = 21°

By the sine definition,

$\sin \angle P=\dfrac{\text{Opposite leg}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=\dfrac{MN}{MP}\\ \\MN=MP\sin \angle P\\ \\MN=4\sin 21^{\circ}\approx 1.43\ cm$

Now, consider right triangle HMN (it is right because NH is an altitude). By the cosine definition,

$\cos \angle M=\dfrac{\text{Adjacent leg}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=\dfrac{MH}{MN}\\ \\MH=MN\cos \angle M$

In the right triangle, two acute angles are always complementary, so

$m\angle M=90^{\circ}-m\angle P=90^{\circ}-21^{\circ}=69^{\circ}$

Thus,

$MH=1.43\cos 69^{\circ}\approx 0.51\ cm$

Help me with this math problem, I need someone to guide me through it I don’t understand what I’m supposed to do first

natita [175]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The parent function is x^2 which is a parabola at vertex (0,0)

g(x) = ( x+3) ^2

y = f(x + C) C > 0 moves it left

So the parabola is shifted to the left 3 units

h(x) = -( x+3) ^2

y = −f(x)

Reflects it about x-axis

Means flip it about the x axis

What is the area of the figure?

Bad White [126]

20m ^2

Explanation:
The top part be be cut into 2 2•2 triangles. A = 4 for both of them
And the rest is a 4•4 square, so A = 16.
4 + 16 = 20

Hope this helps!
