Answer:

5(2x-1) = 5(2x) - 5(1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property states that multiplying a sum or difference of two terms by a number is equal to multiplying the same number with each term of the sum or difference separately and then adding the products.

It can be written as:

a(b+c) = ab + ac

a(b-c) = ab - ac

So, for the given question,

=>5(2x-1) = 5(2x) - 5(1)

What is the slope of a line that contains the points (2,2) and (4,4)

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

m = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is defined as m = rise / run.

As we move from (2,2) to (4,4), x increases by 2 and y increases by 2.

Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = 2/2 = 1: m = 1
