Answer:

$m=-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope <em>m</em>:

$m=\frac{0-6}{4-(-2)}$

$m=\frac{-6}{4+2}$

$m=\frac{-6}{6}$

$m=-1$

Scientists are examining two different strains of a particular bacteria. The length of one strain of the bacteria measures 0.000

vesna_86 [32]

Scientists are examining two different strains of a particular bacteria. The length of one strain of the bacteria measures 0.000000368

mm, while the length of the second strain measures 0.000000064 mm. How much larger is the first strain than the second?

We can figure this out using scientific notation.

$0.000000368 - 0.000000064$

$= 3.04e-7$

Put 3.04e-7 in standard notation.

$0.00000304$

Put 0.00000304 back into scientific notation, instead with a multiply sign.

Move the dot back, making the number in between 1-10.

In this case, we would move it back 7 times.

$3.04$ · $10x^{-7}$

So the answer would be A.

EastWind [94]

Answer:

The least number of dinners that manny can make without any supplies leftover is 6 dinners

Step-by-step explanation:

Dinner = 1 box of pasta + 1jar of sauce

pasta is sold in package of 6 boxes

sauce is sold in in packages of 3

jars

what is the least number of dinners that manny can make without any supplies leftover?

Find the lowest common multiple of 6 boxes and 3 jars

6 boxes = 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42,48

3 jars = 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30

The lowest common multiple of 6 boxes and 3 jars = 6

The least number of dinners that manny can make without any supplies leftover is 6 dinners

Using:

Pasta = 6 dinners / 6 boxes

= 1 package

Pasta = 1 package

Sauce = 6 dinners / 3 jars

= 2 package

Sauce = 2 package
