<h3>What is an expression?</h3>

An expression is a way of writing a statement with more than two variables or numbers with operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Example: 2 + 3x + 4y = 7 is an expression.

We have,

-16 $x^{8}$ / -8 $x^{9}$

= (-16/-8) $x^{8 - 9}$

= 2 $x^{-1}$

= 2/x

Thus,

The final expression of -16 $x^{8}$ / -8 $x^{9}$ is 2/x.

You can use the distance formula: d = sqrt((second x value - first x value)^2 + (second y value - first y value)^2):
answer : d = sqrt((3+2)^2+(6+6)^2) = 11.95826074 units

I really need help with this question!

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

(s-6)/r

option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form a line is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Compare y=mx+b and y=cx+6, we see that m=c and c is the slope.

Now we are also given that (r,s) is on our line which means s=c(r)+6.

We need to solve this for c to put c in terms of r and s as desired.

s=cr+6

Subtract 6 on both sides:

s-6=cr

Divide both sides by r:

(s-6)/r=c

The slope in terms of r and s is:

(s-6)/r.

Angl is a square. The equation of line NG is Y= 1/2 X - 6. Find the equation of line LG in slope intercept form given that the c

Irina18 [472]

Answer: y=-2x-9

Step-by-step explanation:

If ANGL is a square, then NG and LG are adjacent sides.

Adjacent sides are perpendicular. [Each angle is 90°]

The equation of line NG is $Y=\dfrac12 X-6$ .

By comparing it to equation in slope intercept form y=mx+c ( where , m= slope , c=y-interecpt)

slope = $\dfrac12$

Let slope of LG be <em>n</em>, then

$n\times \dfrac{1}{2}=-1$ [Product of slopes of two perpendicular line =-1]

$\Rightarrow n=-2$

Equation of a line passes through (a,b) and have slope m is given by :-

$(y-b)=m(x-a)$

Equation of LG :

$(y-1)=-2(x-(-5))\\\\\Rightarrow\ y-1=-2x-10\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=-2x-9$ [In intercept form]

The diameter of a circle is 15 in. Which measure below cannot be a chord on the same circle?

diamong [38]

It's c 18, because the diameter is the longest chord so it would be greater than 15.

How to solve using Substitution or Elimination?<br> y=3x-1<br><br> y=2x+2

n200080 [17]

By elimination:

y = 3x - 1

y = 2x + 2

Subtract the second equation from the first

0 = x - 1

y = 2x + 2

Subtract the first equation from the second

0 = x - 1

y = x + 3

Subtract the first equation from the second again

0 = x - 1

y = 4

Subtract x from both sides of the first equation

- x = - 1

y = 4

Divide the first equation by (-1)

x = 1

y = 4

<h3>So, the solution is x = 1 and y = 4 {or: (1, 4)}</h3>
