<u>Answer:</u>

The slope of the line passing through the points (-2, 4) and (5, -1) is \frac{-5}{7}

<u>Solution:</u>

We know the slope intercept of the line is given by y = mx + c, where m is the slope of the line and c is a constant

To find the value of ‘m’ we use the given formula

m = \frac{(y_2- y_1)}{(x_2- x_1 )}

Here ,

x_1= -2

x_2= 5

y_1= 4

y_2= -1

Substituting the values in formula for m, we get

m=\frac{-1-4}{5-(-2)}

m=\frac{-1-4}{5+2)}

m=\frac{-5}{7)}

Therefore the slope of the line passing through the points (-2, 4) and (5, -1) is \frac{-5}{7}

Answer:

<h2>The slope is -5/7</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

you can solve it many ways but i solved it this way

you take ur y2 and y1 and set it over x2 and x1

you get -1-4 / 5- -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s call the teams A B C D

A will play B C D = 3 matches

B will play only C and D as it already played A, making 2 matches

C will play D, making 1 match

D has already played all

Total number of matches is thus 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 matches

Distance= 2797.2 time= 0.15 speed
Nutka1998 [239]
Speed = Distance ÷ Time

Distance = 2797.2

Time = 0.15

2797.2 / 0.15 = 18,648

Speed = 18,648

The width of a rectangle is (x+1) and the length is (x-6). What is the length and width of the rectangle if the area is 30 squar
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The length of the rectangle (l) = 3 feet

The width of the rectangle (W) =  10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

<em>Given that the width of the rectangle  = (x+1) feet</em>

<em>Given that the length of the rectangle = ( x-6) feet</em>

<em>The area of the rectangle = 30 square feet</em>

<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>

We know that the area of the rectangle

                = length ×width

    30   = ( x+1)(x-6)

    30   = x² - 6x + x -6

⇒ x² - 5 x - 6 = 30

⇒ x² - 5 x - 6 - 30 =0

⇒ x² - 5 x - 36 =0

 x² - 9 x +4x - 36 =0

   x (x-9) +4 ( x-9) =0

   ( x+4 ) ( x-9) =0

     ( x+4 ) =0 and  ( x-9) =0

     x =-4 and x =9

<u><em>Step(iii):-</em></u>

we have to choose x =9

     The length of the rectangle (l) =  x-6 = 9-6 =3

      The width of the rectangle (W) =  x+1 =  9 +1 = 10

<u><em>Final answer:-</em></u>

The length of the rectangle (l) = 3 feet

The width of the rectangle (W) =  10 feet
