Answer:
"a" must be negative
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope between points (-1, 1) and (1, -1) is a minimum of (-1-1)/(1-(-1)) = -1.
The slope between points (1, -1 and (3, -4) is a maximum of (-4-(-1))/(3-1) = -3/2.
Thus, as x increases, the slope is decreasing. In order for that to be the case, the value of <em>a</em> must satisfy a < 0.
Answer:
125 is the square of 25 I hope
The ratio indicates that there are 8 dolls for every 7 teddy bears. That means that if there is 16 dolls, then there is 14 teddy bears. And that if there is 24 dolls, then there is 21 teddy bears. You could continue this pattern, or you could divide and multiply. If you have 160 dolls, then do 160/8 to simplify the ratio. You get 20. So if there is (8x20) dolls, then there is (7x20) teddy bears. 7x20 is 140, so there are 140 teddy bears.
This is the area of a triangle and a square
Area of a triangle is 1/2BH
here total height is 16 in triangle h is 16-10=6
base is 10
A=1/2*10*6
A=30 inch^2
Area of square=a^2
A2=10^2=100inches^2
A1+A2=100+30
130inches^2
