Find the slope of this line

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sveta_85 [38]1 year ago
4 0

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Select a point on the red line that crosses the graph at a corner like point (2,2).  Start at the middle of the graph and go 2 spaces to the right on the x axis and then 2 spaces up.  Now you will be a the point (2,2).  Do you see how the right line is hitting at the top left corner of the square?  

From  this point, count how many spaces up and how many spaces to the left to get to the next spot that the red line touches a corner.  If you go up 3 spaces and left 1, you have found the next corner.  The slope is -3/1 or -3.

The slope is negative because the x and y's are going in different directions, as the x is getting bigger, the why is getting smaller, or another way of looking at it, is that I went up to the find slope and up is positive, but then I went left 1 and left is toward the negative numbers.  A positive divided by a negative is a negative, so the slope is negative.

Ooh, scary math

n+2b=67.5

b=20.25

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

8 or 9

Step-by-step explanation:

So, you first need to take 4/5 of 400 (320).  Then, you can count by 75s for a bit

75students; 2chaperones

150; 4

225; 6

300; 8

now, you have 20 students left over...since one chaperone would watch about 37 kids, you can either divide the remaining kids up among the other chaperones, or you can add one more chaperone to watch the 20 kids.  i don't know what the teacher wants, so either 8 or 9 chaperones

aleksklad [387]
Perhaps you could just outline the topic lightly but try your best not to give away your topic idea. In this case talk about technology but don't talk about the dependency of technology, for the first paragraph as mentioned in your title text and then in your second paragraph you could talk about the dependency of technology.
