Answer:

Option B and C are correct.

\frac{x_2-x_1}{y_2-y_1}

\frac{run}{rise} are the expression incorrect for slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is defined as the change in the dependent variable  relative to the change in the dependent variable

or the ratio of the horizontal changes to vertical changes between any two points on the graph of the line.

The vertical changes between any two points is rise

The horizontal changes between any two points is run.

Formula for slope is given by:

For any two points (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2)

then slope is:

\text{Slope} =\frac{rise}{run}= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

or we can write this as:

Δy = y_2-y_1

Δx = x_2-x_1

⇒\text{Slope} = \frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x}

Therefore, the expression which are incorrect for slope  are;

\frac{x_2-x_1}{y_2-y_1}

\frac{run}{rise}

Answer:

Choice B and choice C are incorrect expression for slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is defined as the steepness of a line. It is also called gradient.It is denoted by m.

It is ratio of change in the dependent variable and independent variable.

hence, m = Δy / Δx = y₂-y₁ / x₂-x₁

The change in dependent variable is called rise and the change in dependent variable is called run.

So,   m = rise / run

hence, choice B. and choice C. are incorrect expressions for slope.

Answer:

x=27\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Triangles BDR and QDC are similar, because QC and BR are parallel lines

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and is called the scale factor

In this problem

\frac{QD}{BD} =\frac{DC}{RD}

substitute the values

\frac{39}{39+26} =\frac{x}{x+18}

\frac{39}{65} =\frac{x}{x+18}

65x=39(x+18)

65x-39x=702

26x=702

x=702/26

x=27\ units

Mark has 23 feet of string. He will cut the string into equal lengths of 9 inches each. How much string will be left after he cu
Elza [17]

Convert foot to inches:

1 foot = 12 inches

23 feet ⇒  23 feet × 12 inches/ft = 276 inches

Divide:

276 ÷ 9 = 30 pieces with remainder

Remainder = 276 - (9×30)  ⇒  276 - 270 = 6

ANSWER: There will be 6 inches long remaining in length after cutting the string into 30 pieces equal lenght of 9 inches each.
