Help me find the slope to these points (2,5) and (8, -4)

Mathematics

ale4655 [162]2 years ago

Answer:

slope = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line passing through the two points P=(x1,y1) and Q=(x2,y2) is given by m=y2−y1/x2−x1.

We have that x1=2, y1=5, x2=8, y2=−4.

Plug the given values into the formula for slope: m= (-4)-(5)/ (8)-(2) = -9/6 = -3/2

the slope of the line is m = -3/2

Choose the set that consists of only prime numbers.
butalik [34]
The answer is C because 2, 5, 23, and 29 are prime numbers (you can also look up a chart and highlighted numbers are prime). prime numbers is a whole number greater than 1 and cannot be formed when multiplying two smaller numbers that are whole. it must involve itself in a multiplication equation.

Use the table of points to answer the following questions.
Bess [88]

The slope of the lines is -0.75 and 0.75 respectively. This shows that the slope of one of the<u> line is negative of the other.</u>

<h3>Slope of a line</h3>

The slope of a line is the rate of change of the y-axis of the coordinate to x-axis. The formula for calculating the slope of a line is expressed as;

Slope = y2-y1/x2-x1

Given the following coordinate point  (−8, 9) to (−4, 6), the slope is calculated as;

Slope = 6-9/-4+8
Slope = -3/4

For the coordinate points (-4, 6) and (2, 1.5), the slope is calculate;

Slope = 1.5-6/2+4
Slope = -4.5/6
Slope = 0.75

Hence the slope of the coordinate point is 0.75.

Hence the slope of the lines is -0.75 and 0.75 respectively. This shows that the slope of one of the<u> line is negative of the other.</u>
