Answer:

The slope of the line segment is $m=-\frac{4}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we have the points

(2,-5) and (-1, -1)

substitute in the formula

$m=\frac{-1+5}{-1-2}$

$m=\frac{4}{-3}$

$m=-\frac{4}{3}$

xz_007 [3.2K]

5/6. 15 and 18 both have a common denominator of 3 (3*5 & 3*6). So if you do (15/3)/(18/3) you will get 5/6

if the cost price of 10 tables is equal to the selling price of 16 tables , find out the gain or loss percentage

Dovator [93]

Hi,

To solve this problem, Let us take the LCM of 10 and 16 which will come 80.

Now suppose the cost price of 10 tables =₹n CP of 80 tables will be ₹ 8n

According to the question, CP of 10 tables is equal to the SP of 16 tables, then

the SP of 16 tables will also be ₹ n.

So, SP of 80 tables will be ₹ 5n

So, Loss = CP-SP

→ 8n - 5n = ₹ 3n

Loss%= (3n×100)/8n

Loss%= 37.5%.

Hence the correct answer will be a <u>loss of 37.5%.</u>

What is the inverse of the function shown( in the form of a graph)

NemiM [27]

Answer:

$y = - 1x + b$

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse of a slope is the exact opposite slope of the original. I'll show a function below where you can easily solve future problems if you need to.

$- \frac{1}{m} x$

m is the slope, so for the equation above, you simply insert the original slope, being 1, in the equation.

$- \frac{1}{1} x \\ - 1x$

So the inverse slope would be -1.
