Answer:

m=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The two given points are: (-3, -2) and (-2, -4)

The equation for slope is m= $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

m= $\frac{(-4)-(-2)}{(-2)-(-3)}$

m=-2/1

m=-2

Which of the following numbers is irrational?

baherus [9]

An irrational number is one that can’t be expressed as a simple fraction.

For instance, the first few digits of the square root of two is written as 1.414213562373095... The digits keep going and cannot be expressed as a fraction. But think of 0.33333... That can easily be written as one-third. The distinguishing feature is that there’s no pattern in the digits for the square root of two.

The first two options are integer fractions. We rule those out immediately. The square root of four is tempting, but realize that it is just equal to two. We come to π (pi).

Arguably the most famous irrational number is π, which starts off as 3.14159265358979... Here, there is again no pattern and the digits extend forever. This meets our definition of our irrational.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-2,5) and has a<br> slope of -4?

adoni [48]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf y= -4x -3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the equation of a line given a point and the slope. We will use the point-slope formula.

$y-y_1= m(x-x_1)$

In this formula, m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is the point the line passes through. The slope of this line is -4 and the line passes through (-2,5).

m= -4
x₁= -2
y₁ = 5

Substitute the values into the formula.

$y-5 = -4 (x--2)$

$y-5 = -4 (x+2)$

We are finding the equation of the line, so we should find the slope-intercept form or y=mx+b ( where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept).We must isolate the variable y on one side of the equation.

First, distribute the -4 on the right side of the equation. Multiply each term inside the parentheses by -4.

$y-5=( -4 *x ) + (-4* 2 )$

$y-5 =(-4x)+ (-8)\\y-5= -4x -8$

5 is being subtracted from y. The inverse operation of subtraction is addition, so we will add 5 to both sides of the equation.

$y-5 =-4x -8 + 5$

$y= -4x -3$

The equation of the line is y= -4x -3. The slope of the line is -4 and the y-intercept is -3.

isaac drew a shape that has three sides. each side is 9 cm long. what is the perimeter of the shape?.

Dvinal [7]

Since there are 3 sides and each of those 3 sides are 9 cm, you would multiply 9*3 and your answer would be 27 cm.
