Hello,
We need first to know what's a gradient. The Gradient (also called Slope) of a straight line shows how steep a straight line is.
But how do we find the slope (or Gradient) from two points ?
For exemple, let's find the gradient of the two points PQ...
Method
1. We need the coordinates of the point P, and the point Q :
P = (6 ; -11)
Q = (k ; -9)
2. The slope is the change in height divided by the change in horizontal distance.
In other words we :
a) subtract the x values
b) subtract the y values
c) divide
Application for PQ
subtract x values : xQ - xP = k - 6
subtract the y values : yQ - yP = -9 - (-11) = -9 + 11 = 2
divide : (k-6) / 2
That is the gradient of PQ.. Now let us find the gradient of PR
Application for PR
subtract x values : xR - xP = 2k - 6
subtract the y values : yR - yP = -3 - (-11) = -3 + 11 = 8
divide : (2k-6)/8
That is the gradient of PR.
We know that by assumption, gradient of PQ = gradient of PR, what is the value of k ? Well, we simply need to solve an equation here :
gradient of PQ = gradient of PR
(k-6) / 2 = (2k - 6) / 8
k-6 = (4k - 12)/8 (we have multiplied by 2 on each sides of the equation)
8k - 48 = 4k - 12 (we have multiplied by 8 on each sides of the equation)
8k - 4k = - 12 + 48
4k = 36
k = 36 / 4 = 9
So the value of k in order for the two gradients to be equals needs to be equal to 9
Good luck

A line passes through the point (-6,9) and has a slope of 3/2. Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.
Answers
Answer:
y=3/2x+18
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
We are given a point (-6,9) and a slope of 3/2
We want to write the equation of this line in slope-intercept form
Slope-intercept form is written as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
Since we already know the slope of the line as 3/2, we can substitute it as m into the equation:
y=3/2x+b
Now let's find b
Since the equation of the line passes through (-6,9), we can use it to help solve for b
Substitute -6 as x and 9 as y:
9=3/2(-6)+b
Multiply
9=-9+b
Add 9 to both sides
18=b
Substitute 18 as b into the equation.
y=3/2x+18

Jeriel decides to research the relationship between the length in inches and the weight of a certain species of catfish. He measures the length and weight of a number of specimens he catches, then throws back into the water. After plotting all his data, he draws a line of best fit. Based on the line of best fit, how much would you predict a catfish with a length of 33 inches would weigh?
Answers
A catfish with a length of 33 inches would weigh 30 pounds.
Linear equationA linear equation is in the form of:
y = mx + b
where y,x are variables, m is the rate of change and b is the y intercept.
Let y represent the catfish weight with x inches length
From the line of best, it passes through (20, 4) and (23, 10), hence:
y - 4 = [(10 - 4)/(23 - 20)](x - 20)
y = 2x - 36
For a length of 33 inches:
y = 2(33) - 36 = 30 pounds
A catfish with a length of 33 inches would weigh 30 pounds.

8. You have been asked to repaint the lateral surface area of cone-shaped pylons used for soccer drills. If they have a radius of 5" and a height of 12", calculate the slant height and lateral surface area to be painted to the nearest square inch.??
Answers
Answer:
See answer below.
Step-by-step explanation:
LA = π rl
1st find l
The radius is 5" and the height is 12" l = ?
h and the r is the two legs in the right triangle when drawn in a cone.
Use a² + b² = c² ⇔ h² + r² = l²
12² + 5² = l²
144 + 25 = l²
169 = l²
[tex]\sqrt{169} = l[/tex]
13 = l
Formula for LA = π r l
LA = 3.14 × 5 ×13 or with a calculator LA = π × 5 × 13
LA = 204.1 sq.in LA = 204.2035225 sq. in
I use 3.14 = for π but you know what the teacher uses in class.

Answer:
(2, - 3 ) and (3, - 3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x² - 5x + 3 and f(x) = - 3 , then equating
x² - 5x + 3 = - 3 ( add 3 to both sides )
x² - 5x + 6 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 2)(x - 3) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3
solutions are (2, - 3 ) and (3, - 3 )

Jamie and Raul both work at the Pizza House. Together, they work a total of 15 hours per week. Raul works 3 more than twice the hours as Jamie. How many hours does Jamie work per week?
Enter your answer in the box.
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
List the facts phrase by phrase.
Total = 15 hours
Let Raul's hours = x
Let Jamie's hours = y
Total = x + y = 15
x = 3 + 2y
From total, find x
x+ y = 15 Subtract y from both sides.
x = 15 - y Put the value for x in x = 3+ 2y
3 + 2y = 15 - y Subtract 3 from both sides
2y = 15 - 3-y Combine
2y = 12 - y Add y to both sides.
2y + y = 12 Combine
3y = 12
y = 12 / 3
y = 4
Jamie worked 4 hours
Raul worked 11
