To find slope, use the equation:
slope = \frac{ y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}}<span>
<span>where x_{2} and y_{2} are the x and y values of one coordinate point, and x_{1} and y_{1} are the x and y values of another coordinate point . Since we are given two coordinate points, that means we can find the slope using the slope equation.

</span></span>

Let's choose (6, 0) as your (x_{2},&#10;y_{2}) point and (0, -2) as your (x_{1}, y_{1}) point, but you can switch those if you want! That makes x_{2} = 6, y_{2} = 0 and x_{1} = 0, y_{1} = -2. Plug these values into the slope equation and simplify:

\frac{ y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\&#10; = \frac{ 0 - (-2) }{6-0} \\&#10; = \frac{2}{6} \\&#10;=  \frac{1}{3}

Answer: Slope = \frac{1}{3}

Which of the following is a perfect square trinomial?
shutvik [7]

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a look at what happens when squaring either of these...

(ax-by)^2=(ax-by)(ax-by)=a^2x^2-2abxy+b^2y^2\\\\(ax+by)^2=(ax+by)(ax+by)=a^2x^2+2abxy+b^2y^2\\

Notice a couple of patterns.

1.  The last term has a positive coefficient.  That rules out answer choices C and D.

2.  The coefficient of the middle term is either +2ab \text{ or } -2ab .  So what are <em>a</em>  and <em>b</em>?  <em>a</em> is the square root of the x^2 term and <em>b</em> is the square root of the y^2 term.

25x^2 \Rightarrow a=5\\\\9y^2 \Rightarrow b=3\\\\ab=15\\\\2ab=30

The middle coefficient needs to be either +30 or -30.  The answer is choice A.

Given the equation 7(x + 2) = 2x − 1, solve for the variable. Explain each step and justify your process. Jeff solved a similar
Galina-37 [17]
You have to distribute the 7 to x and 2 so :
7x+14=2x-1
Add one to both sides (inverse operations)
7x+14=2x-1
+1 +1
7x+15=2x
Cross Cancel by subtracting 7x from both sides
7x+15=2x
-7x -7x
15=-5x
Divide by -5
15/-5= -5/-5
X= -3
