What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (5, 1) and (2, -7)?

Answers

Answer 1
-7-1/2-5 because to solve, you do y2-y1/x2-x1
So you get -6/-3, which equals 2
SLOPE IS 2
Answer 2

Answer:

m [ slope ] = 8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (5, 1) and (2, -7)?

m = ∆y / ∆x

m = y₂ – y₁ / x₂ – x₁

| (5, 1) → (x₁, y₁) | (2, -7) → (x₂, y₂) |

[each coordinate will correspond (directly go to) to the variables shown]

m = (-7) – (1) / (2) – (5)

m = -8 / -3

m = 8 / 3

This means that this line has a rise of 8 and a run of 3.

Up 8 and right 3 proportionally, it would touch the opposite corners of a plane that was 8 by 3 units.

Slope can be thought of as the steepness of a line, the greater the slope, the greater the steepness.

These points are generally known as cartesian coordinates.

____________

Once you have the slope, you can back track from one of the coordinates to find the equation of the line.

Just multiply the slope by the x of either coordinate, make it opposite, and then add that to the y of that coordinate to get b [the y-intercept; where it crosses the y axis, x is always 0]

Since (2, -7) is closer to the y axis than (5, 1) it is more convenient.

In (2, -7), 2 is the x variable and -7 is the y variable.

-mx + y = (-8/3)(2) + (-7) = -16/3 + (-21/3)

21/3 is the same as 7 [so it will have a common denominator].

-16 + -21 / 3 = -37/3 = b

Thus this line has an equation of

y = mx + b

↓ ↓

y = 8/3x – 37/3.

__________________________

Or you can refer to point slope which is what is taught:

y – y₁ = m(x – x₁).

You can tell that there are some similarities to this and the slope formula.

m = ( y₂ – y₁ / x₂ – x₁ ) →

m × ( x₂ – x₁ ) =

( y₂ – y₁ / x₂ – x₁ ) × ( x₂ – x₁ )

[multiply the denominator by both sides]

m ( x₂ – x₁ ) = y₂ – y₁

[x₂, and y₂ can just be x and y since you only need the initial coordinate and slope, because the second coordinate can be anything along that line]

m ( x – x₁ ) = y – y₁ →

y – y₁ = m(x – x₁)

[symmetric property of equality]

if a = b, b = a.

width = 126 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = width x length

84 = 2/3 x width

Now divide 84 by 2/3 to get the width (when you divide by a fraction, you actually multiply by its reciprocal, so it is 84 times 3/2)

84 x 3/2 = width

Step-by-step explanation:

6 * 2 = 12

6 and 5 is your answer

Answer: 6; 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the questions, we set up two equations, let the x be the first number, and y be the second number.

x + y = 11

2x - y= 7

x = 11 - y              [Subtract y from both side]

2x - y = 7

2(11 - y) - y = 7    [Plug in 11-y for x, solve for y]

22 - 2y - y = 7  

22 - 3y = 7        

-3y = -15             [Subtract 22 from both side]

  y = 5

 

x + y = 11             [Plug in 5 for y, solve for x]

x + 5 = 11             [Subtract 5 from both side]

     x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

M = K, because it's a kite.

Kite has 2 angles on the left and right, each with the same size,The kite also has different angles at the other angle points.

(Addition of kite angles result in 360°)

Therefore

360 = 63 + 95 + 2M

2M = 360-63-95

2M = 202

M = 202÷2

M = K = 101°

The size of each angle M and angle K = 101 degrees.
