Answer:

Jack is 8

j= jacks age

2j+5 =21

This is the equation from Twice jacks age plus five is 21

We want to isolate j

Subtract 5 from each side

2j+5 =21

2j+5-5 = 21-5

2j = 16

Divide by 2

2j/2 =16/2

j =8

Find the slope of the line that passes through (10, 8) and (1, 1).

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula to find slope is y1-y2/x1-x2.

The ordered pairs are (10,8) and (1,1)

(x, y). (x, y)

So it would be: 8-1 OVER 10-1

=6/9 which simplifies to 2/3

so your slope would be 2/3
