Answer: $\frac{19}{15}$ or 1.26667

Step-by-step explanation:

m=rise over run=Δy over Δx

m=y2−y1x2−x1

m=−10−9−6−9

m=−19−15

m=19/15

1. Observe question

2. Employ Point-Slope formula

(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1 )=

(-10-9)/(-6-9) =

-19/-15=

19/15

Slope: 19/15

Write the equation for a parabola with a focus at (6,-4) and a directrix at y= -7

shtirl [24]

Given:

The focus of the parabola is at (6,-4).

Directrix at y=-7.

To find:

The equation of the parabola.

Solution:

The general equation of a parabola is:

$y=\dfrac{1}{4p}(x-h)^2+k$ ...(i)

Where, (h,k) is vertex, (h,k+p) is the focus and y=k-p is the directrix.

The focus of the parabola is at (6,-4).

$(h,k+p)=(6,-4)$

On comparing both sides, we get

$h=6$

$k+p=-4$ ...(ii)

Directrix at y=-7. So,

$k-p=-7$ ...(iii)

Adding (ii) and (iii), we get

$2k=-11$

$k=\dfrac{-11}{2}$

$k=-5.5$

Putting $k=-5.5$ in (ii), we get

$-5.5+p=-4$

$p=-4+5.5$

$p=1.5$

Putting $h=6, k=-5.5,p=1.5$ in (i), we get

$y=\dfrac{1}{4(1.5)}(x-6)^2+(-5.5)$

$y=\dfrac{1}{6}(x-6)^2-5.5$

Therefore, the equation of the parabola is $y=\dfrac{1}{6}(x-6)^2-5.5$ .

How to know what number is a rational number?

Art [367]

Answer:

A rational number is a number that can be made by dividing two integers (an integer is a number with no fractional part). The word rational includes the word "ratio." Rational numbers are basically numbers, either positive or negative that you get by dividing 2 numbers. Any number is a rational number, even fractions and decimals, except pi due to the fact that it's a irrational number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Examples of rational numbers include, 1, which you get by dividing 1 by 1, 2 which you get by dividing 2 by 1 and 2.12, which you get by dividing 212 by 100.

A 15-foot ladder leans against a house. The bottom of the ladder is 7 feet from the house. To the nearest degree, what angle doe

max2010maxim [7]

The ladder is forming a right triangle with the house. In this right triangle the hypotenuse is the measure of the ladder, and the distance between the house and he ladder is one of the sides of the triangle. To find the angle, $\alpha$ , that the ladder is making with the ground, we are going to use a trig function that relates the adjacent side of our angle with the hypotenuse. That trig function is Cosine.
$Cos \alpha = \frac{adjacent.side}{hypotenuse}$
$Cos \alpha = \frac{7}{15}$
$\alpha =arcCos( \frac{7}{15} )$
$\alpha =62.2$

We can conclude that the ladder make with the ground a 62° angle.
