First point = (x1, y1) = (-1, 8)

Second point = (x2, y2) = (5, -4)

m = slope

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) .... is the slope formula

m = (-4 - 8)/(5 - (-1)) .... plug in the given values

m = (-4 - 8)/(5 + 1)

m = -12/6

<h3>m = -2</h3><h3>The slope is -2</h3><h3>Answer: Choice C</h3>

Answer:

The answer is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the slope is y2-y1/ x2-x1
so ( -1 ,8 ) (5, -4) 8- ( -4) ÷ 5- ( -4 ) = 2
hope that help. Have a nice day

A triangle has the side lengths of 28 in,4in and31 inches. classify it as acute, obtuse or right

labwork [276]

The answer is obtuse

a = 4
b = 28
c = 31

If a² + b² > c² - the angle is acute
If a² + b² < c² - the angle is obtuse
If a² + b² = c² - the angle is right

a² + b² = 4² + 28² = 16 + 784 = 800
c² = 31² = 961

800 < 900
a² + b² < c²

Therefore, the angle is obtuse

Differentiating with respect to time

f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<u />

<u>Step 2: Differentiate</u>

Rewrite [VRP]: $V = l^2h$
Differentiate [Basic Power Rule]: $\frac{dV}{dt} = 2l\frac{dl}{dt} \frac{dh}{dt}$

<u>Step 3: Solve for Rate</u>

Substitute: $\frac{dV}{dt} = 2(30 \ cm)(2 \ cm/h)(3 \ cm/h)$
Multiply: $\frac{dV}{dt} = 360 \ cm^3/h$

Here this tells us that our volume is decreasing (ice melting) at a rate of 360 cm³ per hour.

What does 2 (p -q) +5 (p+q) equal when p = 7 and q = -2? Answer:

salantis [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2(p - q) + 5(p + q) ← substitute p = 7 and q = - 2 into the expression

= 2(7 - (- 2)) + 5(7 + (- 2))

= 2(7 + 2) + 5(7 - 2)

= 2(9) + 5(5)

= 18 + 25

= 43
