Find the slope of the line that passes through (1, -2) and (0,-4).

6 or -6/-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope Formula: Rise/Run = y2 - y1/x2 - x1

( -1, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = y2-y1/ x2-x1

-4( which is the second y - axis) subtract by -2 ( which is the first y- axis)= 2

0 ( which is the second x - axis) subtract by 1 ( which is the first x- axis) = -1

put it in an order pair way, and you shall get ( -1, 2) as your answer.

step-by-step explanation:

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
