Answer:

Slope m = -5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 8y = 16

Making y as subject of formula

8y = -5x + 16

Dividing each term by 8

8y/8 = -5x/8 + 16/8

y = -5x/8 + 2

Comparing with y = mx + c

Where m = slope and c the y intercept

Slope m = -5/8

Answer:

CNBD

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, we can see that:

$\displaystyle BL\parallel CA$

Then by Alternate Interior Angles:

$\angle LBA\cong \angle CAB\text{ and } \angle BLC\cong \angle ACL$

From vertical angles, we also know that:

$\displaystyle \angle BKL\cong \angle AKC$

This is all we can gather from the given image. Knowing only three pairs of angles cannot prove congruence, as proving congruence requires at least one side.

Congruence cannot be determined.

Calculate the average rate of change for the function

mezya [45]

$slope = m = \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{ f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{ x_2 - x_1}\impliedby \begin{array}{llll} average~rate\\ of~change \end{array}\\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ f(x)= 2(x-2)^2+1\qquad \begin{cases} x_1=-2\\ x_2=4 \end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(4)-f(-2)}{4-(-2)} \\\\\\ \cfrac{[2(4-2)^2+1]~~ - ~~[2(-2-2)^2+1]}{4+2}\implies \cfrac{[9]~~ - ~~[33]}{6}\implies \cfrac{-24}{6}\implies -4$
