Answer: choice C) -2/3

The line X is completely straight meaning that the slope of line X is the same no matter which two points you pick. Since we're given that line X has a slope of -2/3 through the points (-7,6) and (-4,4), this also applies to the portion from (-1,2) to (5,-2)

Answer:

C. -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Point L is at (-7, 6), and point N is at (-4, 4). So, the slope of line X between (-7, 6) and (-4, 4) is equal to the ratio of LM to MN.

Since triangle LMN is similar to triangle PQR, the ratio of PQ to QR is equal to the ratio of LM to MN.

So, the slope of line X between points L and N is equal to the slope of line X between points P and R.

Point P is at (-1, 2), and point R is at (5, -2). Therefore, the slope of line X between (-1, 2) and (5, -2) is

For the following data at the near-ground level, which location will residents likely see dew on their lawns in the morning? Gro

Zarrin [17]

Answer: CITY B: Dew Point Temperature = 45°F, expected low Temperature = 50°F

Step-by-step explanation:

CITY C: Dew Point Temperature = 25°F, expected low Temperature = 20°F

CITY A: Dew Point Temperature = 65°F, expected low Temperature = 60°F

CITY B: Dew Point Temperature = 45°F, expected low Temperature = 50°F

city B is going to have dew on their lawn in the morning as the dew point temperature is less than the lowest temperature.

When surface temperature drops, eventually reaching the dew point, atmospheric water vapor condenses to form small droplets on the surface. Thus dew will be formed as the conditions are suitable only for city B.

{4x-2y<0}<br> {5x+3y<-11}

kkurt [141]

Finding the sum for y in the equation 4x-2y< 0
so 4x - 2y = 0
4x - 2y - 4x would equal 0 - 4x
-2y = -4x
-2y divided by -2 equals -4x / -2
That means y=2x
