Jack and Jill are trying to find the slope of a line segment connecting two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). Jack uses the formula

m = y2 - y1 x2 - x1 . Jill mistakenly uses a different formula, but still gets the right answer. Which formula COULD she have used?

The correct question is
<span>Jack and Jill are trying to find the slope of a line segment connecting two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). Jack uses the formula m = (y2 - y1)/( x2 - x1) . Jill mistakenly uses a different formula, but still gets the right answer. Which formula COULD she have used? A) (x2 - x1)/( y2 - y1) B) (y1 - y2)/( x1 - x2) C) (x1 - x2)/( y2 - y1) D) (y2 - y1)/( x1 - x2)

we know that

the correct formula to calculate the slope is
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
then 
</span><span>if both numerator and denominator multiply it by -1
</span>
m=-(y2-y1)/-(x2-x1)---------> m=[-y2+y1]/[-x2+x1]
m=[y1-y2]/[x1-x2]

therefore

the answer is the option 
B) (y1 - y2)/( x1 - x2)

A restaurant chef bought potatoes at four different stores. The table shows the amount of the potatoes she bought at each store
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The way to answer this question is to find out the price per pound potato by dividing the amount the restaurant chief paid by the number of pounds bought.

Your question lacks details on the pounds bought in the other stores so I will assume these figures and you can use it as a reference.

Restaurant B - 2 pounds

Restaurant C - 12 pounds

Restaurant D - 5 pounds

Price per pound

Restaurant A = 6.60/8

= $0.83

Restaurant B = 3.50/2

= $1.75

Restaurant C = 9.75/12

= $0.82

Restaurant D = 4.80/8

= $0.96

<u><em>Restaurant C </em></u><em>has the lowest price per pound for potatoes. </em>

Please help me solve this by substitution: <br> y=x+2<br> 3x+3y=6
VikaD [51]

Answer:

x = 0, y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. solve the equation for x

3x + 3(x + 2) = 6

2. Substitute the given value of x into the simplest equation y= x + 2

y = 0 + 2

3. Solve the equation for y

y= 2

4. The possible solution of the system is the ordered pair ( x, y)

( x, y) = ( 0, 2)
