Answer:
-11/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope can be found with this equation:
(y₁ - y₂) / (x₁ - x₂)
What this essentially tells us to do is to put one set of the x and y coordinates into x₁ and y₁, respectfully. Then, put the other set of x and y points as x₂ and y₂.
With this scenerio, we can substitute the given points into the formula.
(6 - (-5)) / (-4 - 2) =
(6 + 5 ) / (-6) =
11 / (-6) =
-11/6
The slope is - 11/6
Step-by-step explanation:
the area of a triangle is
baseline × height / 2
we have here 2 triangles : the larger, outer shaded one, and the smaller, inner white one.
to get the area of the shaded part, we need to calculate the area of the large triangle and subtract the area of the smaller triangle.
large area :
12 × 15 / 2 = 6 × 15 = 90 ft²
small area :
8 × 10 / 2 = 4 × 10 = 40 ft²
the shaded area is
90 - 40 = 50 ft²
Answer:
J's would be (-5,-4) if J was reflected over the line x=3.
Answer:
x=4
y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+2y=12
x−y=2
In order to solve by elimination, coefficients of one of the variables must be the same in both equations so that the variable will cancel out when one equation is subtracted from the other.
2x+2y=12,x−y=2
To make 2x and x equal, multiply all terms on each side of the first equation by 1 and all terms on each side of the second by 2.
2x+2y=12,2x+2(−1)y=2×2
Simplify.
2x+2y=12,2x−2y=4
Subtract 2x−2y=4 from 2x+2y=12 by subtracting like terms on each side of the equal sign.
2x−2x+2y+2y=12−4
Add 2x to −2x. Terms 2x and −2x cancel out, leaving an equation with only one variable that can be solved.
2y+2y=12−4
Add 2y to 2y.
4y=12−4
Add 12 to −4.
4y=8
Divide both sides by 4.
y=2
Substitute 2 for y in x−y=2. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for x directly.
x−2=2
Add 2 to both sides of the equation.
x=4
The system is now solved.
x=4,y=2
Correct choice is B) x=4.
