Find the slope of the line that contains the points (-8,-2) and (-17,4)

\Large\maltese\underline{\textsf{B.\space This problem has been solved!}}

If we are given two points, we can easily find the slope of the line that passes through the points. With points (y₂, y₁) and (x₂, x₁), the slope is \bf{\dfrac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}.

Similarly, with points (-8,-2) and (-17,4) the slope is.

\bf{\dfrac{4-(-2)}{-17-(-8)}} | as we can see, it is possible to simplify this further

\bf{\dfrac{4+2}{-17+8}} | simplify

\bf{\dfrac{6}{-9} | reduce

\bf{-\dfrac{2}{3}}

\rule{300}{1.7}

\bf{Result:}

                    \bf{=-\dfrac{2}{3}}

\boxed{\bf{aesthetic\not101}}

tankabanditka [31]
First we need to calculate the total cost.

The seniors will rent limousine from 8:00 pm till 1:00 am. So total time of rent = 5 hours

Total charges = Charges of first 3 hours + Charges of next 2 hours + Tip
So,
Total charges = $180 + 2($30) +$20 = $260

Thus the total amount the 8 seniors will have to pay is $260. The amount each senior will have to pay is $260/8 = $32.5

Therefore, each student will have to pay $32.5

Anika [276]

The given measurement of the Instagram photo is "4" by "4". And a poster enlargement is being printed with a scale factor of 8.5 .

So on using the scale factor of 8.5 , lengths of new sides are "8.5 *4" by "8.5 *4"

= " 34" by "34" .

So the new lengths of the enlarged pictures are of dimension "34" by "34" .
