what is a slope of (-20,-4), (-12, -10)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope = -¾

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points, (-20,-4) and (-12, -10), use the following formula to solve for the slope:

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Let (x₁, y₁) = (-20,-4)

     (x₂, y₂) =  (-12, -10)

Substitute these values into the slope formula:

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

[tex]m = \frac{-10 - (-4)}{-12 - (-20)}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{-10 + 4}{-12 + 20}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{-6}{8}[/tex]

Simplify the fraction into its lowest terms by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 2:

[tex]m = \frac{-6}{8}[/tex] ÷  [tex]\frac{2}{2}[/tex]

m = -¾

Therefore, the slope of the line is -¾

The square of the sum of two numbers is 144 and the sum of their squares is 80. Find the numbers.(Use completing the square method)
Please help me

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + y)^2 = 144

x^2 + y^2 = 80

----

x + y = 12 ---> y = 12 - x

x^2 + y^2 = 80

x^2 + (12-x)^2 = 80

2x^2 - 24x + 64 = 0

x^2 - 12x + 32 = 0

x = 4, x = 8

y = 8, y = 4

============================

x + y = -12 ---> y = -12 - x

x^2 + y^2 = 80

x^2 + (-12-x)^2 = 80

2x^2 + 24x + 64 = 0

x^2 + 12x + 32 = 0

x = -4, x = -8

y = -8, y = -4

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

One number is + or -4, the other is + or -8,

and the absolute value of the sum is 12.

Answer:

(4,8);(8,4);(-4,-8);(-8,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, let's start writing down the two conditions:

[tex]\left \{ {(x+y)^2 = 144} \atop {x^2+y^2=80}} \right.[/tex]

Mumble.  The second almost look like a square, if only there was the [tex]2xy[/tex] term. Let's add (and subtract, so we aren't creating something new) term to the second:

[tex](x+y)^2-2xy = 80[/tex] But we know what the first term is, it's 144. Let's replace and do some number tricks to get:[tex]144-2xy=80 \rightarrow 72-xy=40\\72-40=xy \rightarrow xy=32[/tex]

At this point, let' stare at it for a while. You can tell that the system is simmetrical (if you replace x with y you still get a solution). Moreover, x and y have the same sign: it means that if (a,b) is a solution, then also (b,a), (-a,-b) and (-b, -a) are solutions, and since it's a 4th degree system (the degree of a system is the product of the degrees of the single equations, and they're both quadratic) there are no other solution.

Let's find one pair then. We're tasked to find two numbers that sum to [tex]\sqrt{144} = 12[/tex] and whose product is 32. that is, the root of the polynomial

[tex]z^2+12z+32= (z+4)(z+8)[/tex] (or if you can't see the factors right away, bruteforce it with quadratic formula, it's always good practice). That tells us that one of the two is -4, and the other is -8. From what we said above, the solutions are by combining them with plus or minus.

[tex](4,8);(8,4);(-4,-8);(-8,-4)[/tex]

In 1855, Louis Remme traveled from Sacramento, California, to Portland, Oregon, stopping to rest for only 10

Conor earns $9 an hour for yard work. He raked leaves one afternoon and earned $29.25.
How much does Conor earn for each minute he does yard work?
Hint: There are 60 minutes in 1 hour.

Answers

29.25 divided by 9 is 3.25. You have to take the total amount of money he made $29.25 and divide it by the amount he gets every hour $9. So 29.25 divided by 9 is 3.25 or 3 hours and 15 minutes.

One person can mow a lawn in 30 minutes. A second person requires 45 minutes to mow that lawn. How long will it take the two people, working together, to mow the lawn?

Answers

Answer:  16 1/4 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the mowing rate for the first person, and B the rate for the second. X will be the time spent mowing.

We are told that A = 30 min/lawn.  B = 45 min/lawn.  These are conversion factors, so we can invert them to:

A =  1 lawn/30 min.  B = 1 lawn/45 min

If both work together, the amount of lawn that is mowed working togehterwould be the time, X (in minutes), spent times their individual rates:

X*(A + B) = Lawn Mowed

We want to know the time, X, it would take to mow the same 1 lawn together.  [Lawn Mowed = 1].  Use the equation:

X*(A + B) = Lawn Mowed

X*((1 lawn/30 min) + (1 lawn/45 min)) = 1

X/(30 min) + X/(45 min) = 1

X/30 + X/45= 1

X + X(30/35) = 30  {Multiply both sides by 30]

(1 + 30/35)X = 30

(65/35)X = 30

X = 30*(35/65)

X = 30/(7/13)

X = 30*(7/13)

X = 210/13

X =  16 1/4 minutes
