Answer:
a=(2/5), b = (-2,6)
Step-by-step explanation:
well slope formula is rise/run. So for the first one you start at the point rise 2 run 5 and you reach the endpoint. That is how you know you got the correct slope. (2/5)
For the second one you start at the first point and you cannot go up because it is a negative slope you run 6 till you hit the other point go down 2. Since you go down 2 that would make it -2. (-2,6)
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
There are 3 sides. All are equal to (4x - 3)
Their sum = 63
Formula
3(4x - 3) = 63
Solution
- 3(4x - 3) = 63 Divide by 3
- 12x - 9 = 63 Add 9 to both sides
- 12x = 63 + 9
- 12x = 72 Divide by 12
- x = 72/12
x = 6 Answer
Dividing two negatives equals a positive:
(-63) / (-9) = 7
Based on the numbers we have we can assume that she saves 3 times more each week than the last (1*3=3, 3*3=9).
Following this trend we would multiply the amount she saved the third week ($9) by 3 to get $27 for the fourth week.
Then, we would multiply the amount she saved the fourth week ($27) by 3 to get $81 for the fifth week.
Finally, to figure out how much she saved in the 5 weeks, we need to add each value up to get 1+3+9+27+81= $121 saved in 5 weeks
