Answer:

The slope of the line is the inverse of the answer he gave, 5/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the slope equation for a line is:

$m\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Analyzing the description, we can appreciate that Billy the x values by the y values, that is incorrect, because the equation is as shown before. So the slope of the line is the inverse of the answer he gave, 5/2.

Slope is calculated as the change in y over the change in x so you would need to do 5- (-5) which turns the negative sign to a positive making it 5+5=10 and the same thing with the 2s 2-(-2)=4 so the answer would be 10/4 or 5/2. Billy did the reciprocal.

I NEED THE ANSWER ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br><br><br><br><br> 1/7-3(3/7x-2/7)

melomori [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

x in (-oo:+oo)

1/7-(3*((3/7)*x-(2/7))) = 0

1/7-3*((3/7)*x-2/7) = 0

1/7-3*(3/7*x-2/7) = 0

(-3*7*(3/7*x-2/7))/7+1/7 = 0

1-3*7*(3/7*x-2/7) = 0

7-9*x = 0

(7-9*x)/7 = 0

(7-9*x)/7 = 0 // * 7

7-9*x = 0

7-9*x = 0 // - 7

-9*x = -7 // : -9

x = -7/(-9)

x = 7/9

x = 7/9

A contractor is building a fenced-in area at a daycare. The area will be rectangular with the length of its base equal to half t

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The length of fencing will be $300\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the dimensions of the rectangle

we know that

The area of a rectangle is equal to

$A=bh$

In this problem we have

$A=5,000\ ft^{2}$

so

$5,000=bh$ -----> equation A

$b=\frac{h}{2}$ -----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A

$5,000=(\frac{h}{2})h$

$10,000=h^{2}$

square root both sides

$h=100\ ft$

Find the value of b

$b=\frac{h}{2}$ -----> $b=\frac{100}{2}=50\ ft$

step 2

Find the length of fencing

The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to

$P=2(b+h)$

we have

$h=100\ ft$

$b=50\ ft$

substitute

$P=2(50+100)=300\ ft$

What are the following factors of x² - 6x +8

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

2) 4,2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Factor by grouping:</u>

$x^2-6x+8\\\\x^2-4x-2x+8\\\\x(x-4)-2(x-4)\\\\(x-2)(x-4)$

Setting the expression equal to 0 and using the Zero Product Property, $x=2$ and $x=4$ , which are the factors of the original polynomial.
