Answer:

  • \Large\boxed{\sf{3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula.

\underline{\text{SLOPE:}}

\longrightarrow: \sf{\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{rise}{run}  }

  • y2=7
  • y1=1
  • x2=4
  • x1=2

<u>Solve.</u>

\Longrightarrow: \sf{\dfrac{7-1}{4-2}= \dfrac{6}{2}=\boxed{\sf{3}}

  • <u>Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (2,1) and (4,7) is 3, which is the correct answer.</u>

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.

The sum of two numbers is -17 and their difference is 41 what are the two numbers?
liberstina [14]

Answer: the two numbers are 7 and -27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be a and b

From the question,

a + b = -27.......eqn 1

a - b = 41............eqn 2

Sum the two equations

2a = 14

Divide both sides by 2

a = 14/2; a = 7

Substitute a = 7 into equation 2

a - b = 41

7 - b = 41

Make b the subject of the equation

-b = 41 -7

-b = 34

b = -34

Check:

a + b = -27, slot the values of a and b

7 + (-34) = -27

7- 34 = -27

I hope this is clear, please mark as brainliest answer

Change the following algebraic expressions to the statement in words: i. 3mn +7 ii. xy + (x+y)
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

i) 3*m*n + 7

Then we can write the first term as:

"3 times the product between two numbers"

Where the product of two numbers is m*n

And after that we need to add 7, then the complete sentence is:

"3 times the product between two numbers, increased by 7"

ii) x*y + (x + y)

The first part, x*y, can be written as:

"the product of two numbers"

where the two numbers are the number x and the number y.

After that, we add the sum of these two numbers, then the complete sentence can be:

"the product of two numbers, plus the sum of these two numbers"

(80 POINTS) What rule describes a dilation with a scale factor of ½ and the center of dilation at the origin?
lesya [120]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

(x, y) -> (1/2x, 1/2y)

When you dilate a side, point, etc, you are multiplying the original dimension by the scale factor. That is represented in option C: the original x and y are multiplied by the scale factor, 1/2! Hope that helps! :)

Solve each linear system by Elimination. 2x + 3y =2, 4x-2y=4
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we will eliminate the x, so we multiply the first one by 2.

4x+6y=4

4x-2y=4

So, we have y=0, and we put that in the equations, so x is 1
