Answer:

The value of k is -5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of k, start by using the known information we have in the equation for slope. The equation is below.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

In this equation, the first ordered pair would be (x1, y1) and the second would be (x2 , y2). So we put the values in for these variables and we get.

-1/5 = (-7 - k)/(6 + 4)

-1/5 = (-7 - k)/10

Now we can use cross multiplication to solve for k.

-1/5 = (-7 - k)/10

-1*10 = 5(-7 - k)

-10 = -35 - 5k

25 = -5k

-5 = k

Answer:

k=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of k, start by using the known information we have in the equation for slope. The equation is below.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

In this equation, the first ordered pair would be (x1, y1) and the second would be (x2 , y2). So we put the values in for these variables and we get.

-1/5 = (-7 - k)/(6 + 4)

-1/5 = (-7 - k)/10

-1/5 = (-7 - k)/10

-1*10 = 5(-7 - k)

-10 = -35 - 5k

25 = -5k

-5 = k

Part A: What is the ratio of the number of students receiving a C and the number of students receiving an A? * 1:4 6:1 4:1 3:1 P
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

a. 4 : 1

b. 2 students

c. 3 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a. There were 12 students who got a C and 3 students who got As. The ratio is therefore:

12 : 3

Take it to the lowest form by dividing both sides by 3:

= 4 : 1

b. There were 4 students with a D grade and 8 with a B. The ratio is:

= 4 : 8

Taken to the lowest form that would be:

= 1 : 2

This means that for every student receiving a D, 2 students received an A.

c. 12 students received a C and 4 students received a D. That ratio is therefore:

= 12 : 4

Take to the lowest form by dividing both sides by 4:

= 3 : 1
