Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (-4,-5) and (2,-4).
Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient= change in y/ change in x

-4--5/2--4= 1/6

1/6 is the gradient

Answer 2

The gradient of the line segment in its simplest form is: 1/6.

What is the Gradient of a Line Segment?Gradient of a line segment = slope.Slope (m) = change in y / change in x.

Given the following points, (-4,-5) and (2,-4) are on a line segment:

Gradient (m) = change in y / change in x

Gradient (m) = (-4 -(-5))/(2 -(-4))

Gradient (m) = 1/6

Therefore, the gradient of the line segment in its simplest form is: 1/6.

14x + 11 = 16x - 1 (corresponding angles, // lines)

-2x = -12

x = 6

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

16x - 1 and 4x + 11 are corresponding angles and are congruent, thus

16x - 1 = 14x + 11 ( subtract 14x from both sides )

2x - 1 = 11 ( add 1 to both sides )

2x = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 6

Substitute x = 6 into either of the 2 equal angles

Substituting into 14x + 11 , then

14x + 11 = 14(6) + 11 = 84 + 11 = 95° → C

Answer:

9. Perpendicular

10. neither

11. Perpendicular

12. neither

Step-by-step explanation:

------------------

Slope Intercept Form: y = mx + b

* M is the slope

* B is the y intercept

------------------

Lines are parallel if they have the same slope (ex. If two equations have a slope of 2)

Lines are perpendicular if they have the opposite and the reciprocal slope (ex. If 1 equation has a slope of 3 and another equation has a slope of - [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] )

------------------

9. Perpendicular: The slopes are reciprocal of each other and one of them is negative

10. Neither: The lines are not perpendicular because the slopes are both negative

11. Perpendicular: If you plot y=5 it is a horizontal line through 5. If you plot x=-3 it is vertical line through -3. These lines intercept and are perpendicular.

12. Neither: The slopes of both equations need to be the same to be parallel

Put both equations into y=mx+by = 1/2x -2 AND y = -1/2x -2

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x<-2x+8+23

-3x>+31

Answer:

x > -5

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) Add +5x on both sides

-5x + 8 < - 2x + 23

+5x         +5x      

8    <    3x + 23

2.) Subtract 23 from both sides

8    <    3x + 23

-23            -23

-15  <  3x

3.) Divide by 3 on both sides

-15 <  3x

 3        3

-5 < x

Because you divided by a negative, the sign flips

-5 > x

An ostrich is being chased by a cheetah,
The ostrich is running at 44 feet per
second and the cheetah at 110 feet per
second. If the two started at the same
place and the ostrich got a 60-second
head start, how many seconds will it be
before the cheetah catches it?

Answers

Answer:

  40 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

  (ostrich speed * seconds) + head start = (cheetah speed * seconds)

                                        44x + (44 * 60) = 110x

                                             44x + 2640 = 110x

                                                       2640 = 66x

                                                              x = 40

No. of seconds before cheetah catches ostrich = 40 seconds

What is speed?

Speed tells us how slow or fast an object moves. It describes the distance travelled divided by the time taken to cover the distance.

Speed is directly Proportional to Distance and Inversely proportional to Time.

Speed = Distance/Time

Given,

Speed of ostrich = 44 feet per second

Speed of cheetah = 110 feet per second

Starting point is same

Ostrich got 60 second head start

Distance travelled by ostrich in 60 second = 44 × 60 = 2640 feet

let  S  be the number of seconds that it will take the cheetah to catch the ostrich

Distance covered by cheetah = 110S

Distance that  the ostrich will cover before being caught  is  2640 + 44S

According to the question

110S  = 2640 + 44S  

110S - 44S =2650

66S  =  2640  

S = 2640/66

S = 40 seconds.

Hence, It will be 40 seconds before cheetah catches the ostrich.

If -2x+4= 8, will x be positive or negative? Without solving the equation, explain how you know.


Answers

Answer:

x is negative

Step-by-step explanation:

I know x will be negative without solving the equation because we can see that both sides equal positive 8 and for -2x to be positive the x value must be negative. when two negative values are multiplied they change into positive. If the x value was Positive this equation would be false.

Hope this helps you

Answer:

Yes, x will be negative.

We are given:

-2x + 4 = 8

This means that "something", in this case -2x, added to 4, equals 8

The only thing that can add to 4 and equal 8 is 4.

So, that means -2x has to equal 4, which is a positive number.

Negative x negative = positive.

-2 is already a negative number, so x has to be a negative number.

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x-5=10-3/4x

add 5 to both sides

1/2x=15-3/4x

add 3/4x to both sides

1/2x + 3/4x = 15

2/4x + 3/4x = 15

5/4x = 15

divide both sides by 5/4

x = 15 * 4/5

x = 60/5

x = 12

A linear function has the same y-intercept as x + 4y = 8 and its graph contains the point (5,3). Find the slope of the linear function. Write the slope in fraction form.​

Answers

Answer:

x - 5y = - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b (b is y-intercept)

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }[/tex]

~~~~~~~~~~~~

x + 4y = 8 ⇔ y = [tex]-\frac{1}{4}[/tex] x + 2 ⇒ y-intercept is 2 and coordinates of y-intercept are (0, 2)

(5, 3)

m = [tex]\frac{3-2}{5-0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

y = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] x + 2 (slope-intercept form)

x - 5y = - 10 (standard form)

Which of the following is equivalent to -(7/4) ?

A. 7/-4



B. -7/-4



C. 4/-7



D. 7/4

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

-(7/4) equals -7/4 or negative seven forths. Its doesn't matter where the negative sign is as long there's only 1 of them and that its still 7/4.

So through process of elimination, we take out B because theres 2 negative, which make a positive, our answer is negative

C is wrong because its 4/7, not 7/4

D is wrong because it's positive, leaving us with A
