Answer:

Slope (m) = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>*If all the given four points are on a straight line then; the slope derived from first two points should be equal to the slope derived from the next to points.</em>

<em />

Let's verify this ...

<u>For the first two points:</u>

Slope (m) = change in y ÷ change in x = \frac{6 - 11}{14 - 13} = \frac{-5}{1} = -5

<u>For the next two points:</u>

<u />

m = \frac{-4 - 1}{16 - 15} = -5

*Proved ∴ points (13,11) , (14,6) , (15, 1) and (16,-4) are on the same line.

  • <em>We can find the equation of this line and ascertain that the four points are on a single line.</em>

<em></em>

Taking another point (x,y) on the line and point (13,11);

m = \frac{y - 11}{x - 13} = -5

y = -5x + 65 + 11

y = -5x + 76

  • Let's graph this equation. (graph attached)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You can easily find the slope by using two points. Let’s use (13, 11) and (14, 6)

We look at the slope equation as: y2 - y1 divided by x2 and x1.

13 = x1 11= y1 and 14= x2 6=y2

Plug in: 6-11/14-13 and solve

Answer: -5

Hope I made sense :)

Fittoniya [83]
Suprisingly the answer is $280,000. This is answer because when you round 35.50 it is 40. When you round 6,789 it is 7,000. 40 times 7,000 is 280,000

Jax and Sofia collect baseball cards. Jax has 56 cards and Sofia has 68. They each joined different baseball-collecting clubs. E
masya89 [10]
Jax gets 4 packs per month...each pack contains 4 cards...so he gets 16 cards per month.
Sofia gets 3 packs per month..each pack contains 4 cards...so she gets 12 cards per month..

56 + 16m = 68 + 12m
16m - 12m = 68 - 56
4m = 12
m = 12/4
m = 3.....they will have the same number of cards in 3 months

Jax : 56 + 16(3) = 104 cards
Sofia : 68 + 12(3) = 104 cards

and they will both have 104 cards

X<br> f(x) = 2x-1 -2 <br><br> Please help
Kobotan [32]

By evaluating the linear equation, we can complete the table:

x: -2 | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 |

y: -3 | -1 |  1 | 3 | 5  |

<h3>How to complete the given table?</h3>

Here we want to complete the table:

x: -2 | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 |

y:     |    |    |    |    |

To get the correspondent values in the "y" row, you just need to evaluate the linear function in the given values of x.

Here the function is:

f(x) = 2x - 1

Evaluating it we get:

f(-2) = 2*(-2) + 1 = -3

f(-1) = 2*(-1) + 1 = -1

f(0) = 2*0 + 1 = 1

f(1) = 2*1 + 1 = 3

f(2) = 2*2 + 1 = 5

Now we just put these values in their correspondent place on the table.

x: -2 | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 |

y: -3 | -1 |  1 | 3 | 5  |
