Answer: m = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know:

  • The slope needs to pass through the points (1, -5) and (4, 1)
  • There are 4 potential slopes given to us- only one is correct
  • We need to find the slope and make sure it is an option

How to solve:

By using the slope equation and the two points given to us, we can calculate the slope.

Process:

  • Set up equation                                                 (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
  • Substitute                                                            (1 +5 ) / (4 - 1)
  • Simplify                                                                6 / 3
  • Simplest form                                                      2/ 1 =

Slope =                                                                          2

Solution: m = 2

A rectangle has a perimeter of 32 in. find the length and width of the rectangle under which the area is the largest. follow the
Dafna1 [17]
Let width and length be x and y respectively.
Perimeter (32in) =2x+2y=> 16=x+y => y=16-x
Area, A = xy = x(16-x) = 16x-x^2
The function to maximize is area: A=16 x-x^2
For maximum area, the first derivative of A =0 => A'=16-2x =0
Solving for x: 16-2x=0 =>2x=16 => x=8 in
And therefore, y=16-8 = 8 in

Which postulate or theorem could be used to prove triangleLMQ is congruent to triangleLNP
Sliva [168]

The answer to this query is AA similarity postulate. <span>

<span>Because the triangles given are only similar in angle but dissimilar in sides which makes it incongruent with respect to the sides, AA similarity postulate is the exact answer. 

SAS ASA are not possible answers. </span></span>
