Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

The slope of line shown in given graph is $\frac{9}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A graph with an equation of line having two points (1,6) and (-6, -3)

We have to find the slope of the given line in graph and choose the correct from the given options.

Consider the two points (1,6) and (-6, -3).

Slope between two points can be calculated using the formula as,

$\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Here, $\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(1,\:6\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(-6,\:-3\right)$

Thus, Slope is

$m=\frac{-3-6}{-6-1}=\frac{9}{7}$

Thus, The slope of line shown in given graph is $\frac{9}{7}$

The slope is positive 9/7 bc you go up 9 from the first point and 7 to the right

Given g(x) = -x + 5, solve for x when g(x) = 3.

Elan Coil [88]

Both equal g(x) so put them together

-x+5=3 then solve for x

-x=3-5
-x=-2
-2 divided by -x =2

x=2

Which of the following points are more than 5 units from the point P(−2, −2)? Select all that apply. A A (2, 1) B B (4, −1) C C

netineya [11]

The distance between any 2 points P(a,b) and Q(c,d) in the coordinate plane, is given by the formula:

 $|PQ|= \sqrt{ (a-c)^{2} + (b-d)^{2}}$

Using this formula we calculate the distances |PA|, |PB|, |PC|, |PD| and |PE| and compare to 5.

$|PA|= \sqrt{ (-2-2)^{2} + (-2-1)^{2}}= \sqrt{16+9}= \sqrt{25}=5$

$|PB|= \sqrt{ (-2-4)^{2} + (-2+1)^{2}}= \sqrt{36+1}= \sqrt{37} \approx 6$

$|PC|= \sqrt{ (-2-2)^{2} + (-2+3)^{2}}= \sqrt{16+1}= \sqrt{17}\approx4$

$|PD|= \sqrt{ (-2+6)^{2} + (-2+6)^{2}}= \sqrt{16+16}= \sqrt{32}\ \textgreater \ \sqrt{25}=5$

$|PE|= \sqrt{ (-2+5)^{2} + (-2-1)^{2}}= \sqrt{9+9}= \sqrt{16}=4$

solong [7]

Answer:

The late fee would be about $7

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide

$139.92/100 = 1.3992$

Multiply by 5

$1.3992*5=6.996$

Given that 4x : 3= 11 : 5 Calculate the value of x .

AleksAgata [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

$1 \frac{13}{20}$

$4x \3 = 11 \5 \\ \\ 20x = 33 \\ x = 33 \div 20 \\ = 1 \frac{13}{20}$
