Answer:
The slope is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope given two points, we use the formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (-4--2)/(2-3)
= (-4+2)/(2-3)
= -2/-1
= 2
Answer:
28
Step-by-step explanation:
You multiply 7 and 8, and then divide it by two.
You need to factor the numerator and denominator...
(2x^2+4x-2x-4)/(2x^2-2x-2x+2)
(2x(x+2)-2(x+2))/(2x(x-1)-2(x-1))
((2x-2)(x+2))/((2x-2)(x-1)) so the (2x-2)s cancel out leaving
(x+2)/(x-1)
40+90=130
180-130=50
50+130=180
x=130
50+x=180
