When x=12, y=8. Find x when y=12

1 answer:

6 0

x : y is equal to 12 : 8. These can be reduced or cancelled down to 3 : 2 in the same proportions. Therefore, when y is 12, you have to multiply the smallest value y can be by 6, and must do the same to the smallest x value to retain the proportions. x = 18 when y = 12.

Find the slope of the line through each pair of points (6, -10) , (-15 , 15)

dem82 [27]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

$\boxed{\boxed{\pink{\bf \leadsto The \ slope \ of \ the \ line \ is \ \dfrac{-25}{21}.}}}$

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Two points are given to us and we need to find the slope of the line . The slope of the line passing through points $\bf (x_1,y_1 ) \ \& \ (x_2,y_2)$ is given by ,

$\qquad\boxed{\red{\bf Slope = tan\theta=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}}$

Here , the points are ,

( 6 , -10 )
( -15 , 15 )

$\bf\implies Slope = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\\\\bf\implies Slope =\dfrac{15-(-10)}{-15-6} \\\\\bf\implies Slope = \dfrac{15+10}{-21}\\\\\bf\implies Slope =\dfrac{-1(25)}{-1(-21)}\\\\ \bf\implies\boxed{\red{\bf Slope =\dfrac{-25}{21}}}$
