Answer: the slope is 1
Step-by-step explanation:
m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
m = 7-3 / -2+6
m = 4/4
m=1
Answer:
The expression that is greater is a (b - c)
Step-by-step explanation:
- a < 0 and c > b, this means <u>(by the addition property)</u> that c - c > b - c⇒0 > b - c
so for the product <u>a(b - c) </u>we would have a multiplication of a negative number <em>a</em> and another negative number <em>(b - c)</em>. We know that the result of the <u>multiplication of two negative numbers is a positive number.</u>
Therefore, a (b - c) > 0
- a < 0 and c > b, this means <u>by the addition property</u> that c - b > b - b⇒ c - b > 0
so for <u>a(c - b)</u>, we have the negative number <em>a</em> multiplied by the positive number <em>(c - b). </em>We know that the result of the <u>multiplication of a negative number by a positive number is negative. </u>
<u>Therefore a (c - b) < 0</u>
Thus, the expression that is greater is the positive one which is a (b - c)
Answer:
b = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
2(b + 3) = b – 4
2b + 6 = b - 4
-b -b
b + 6 = -4
-6 -6
b = -10
Let's put this on the usual Cartesian grid just so we can talk about it without drawing a picture. We'll use map conventions, right is east, up is north.
The ball starts at (0,0). 10.3 feet northwest means we have an isosceles right triangle whose diagonal is 10.3 feet. It's isosceles because northwest means equal parts north and west.
The sides of these triangles are in ratio
so the coordinates after the first putt are
The negative sign indicates west, which doesn't really matter for this problem. The distance from the origin to this point is 10.3 as required.
Now a second putt of 3.8 feet north puts us at
The squared distance to the origin is exactly
A little calculator work tells us
Third choice.
