Answer: B 2/5

Step-by-step explanation: Convert the mixed number 2 1/2 into an improper fraction first by multiplying the denominator (2) by the whole number part (2)and add the numerator (1) to get the new numerator. Place the new numerator (5) over the old denominator (2). And now inverse means opposite, so just flip it.

Finally: 5/2 inverse= 2/5

If you get rid of the whole number in that fraction, you will have 3/2.
So the opposite of that would be 2/3.
I believe the answer is 2/3.

Its C because the 18in is the height, the 12in is the width, the 24in is the length. Which you just multiply together.

The graph below shows a line segment MN: graph of line MN going through ordered pairs negative 2, 3 and 1, negative 3 Which of t

Katyanochek1 [597]

The line segment goes through (-2,3) and (1,-3).

The slope of the line is
$\frac{-3-3}{1-(-2)} = \frac{-6}{3} =-2$

Therefore the equation of the line segment is of the form
y = -2x + b

Because the line segments goes through (-2,3), therefore
-2(-2) + b = 3
4 + b = 3
b = -1

Answer: The equation is y = -2x - 1
