The best way to answer this is to find counterarguments for each answer to eliminate them as a possibility. ab doesn't have to be an integer, 2.5*3=7.5 . That's also not an imaginary number so that's out. And that's also not an irrational number so that's out too. Only choice left is rational number.

By definition, a rational number can be expressed as a fraction with integer values in the numerator and denominator (denominator not zero). So, multiplying two rationals is the same as multiplying two such fractions, which will result in another fraction of this same form since integers are closed under multiplication. Thus, multiplying two rational numbers produces another rational number. 

So in this case your answer would be A. 

Hope I helped!!!

Write an algebraic rule for the trend line. Report your rule in slope intercept form.
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

y = 5x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the slope intercept form equation of the trend line

The general form is:

y =

mx + b

b is slope and m

is the y-intercept

b = 20

To get the slope, we select any two points and use the slope formula

we have the points;

(10,70) and (5,45)

The slope formula is;

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (45-70)/(5-10) = -25/-5 = 5

The equation of the line is thus;

y = 5x + 20

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Loss= $175

To find the percentage you do the difference over the original amount

So 175/2500 which will give you 0.07

0.07 x 100 will give you 7%
