Why can't you compare 5 minutes in 240 seconds without making some kind of change

1 answer:

5 0

You have to have the same unit of measure. Here your units are "minutes" and "seconds". In order to compare the two, you must change to 240 seconds into minutes (dividing by 60 = 4 mins) OR change the 5 minutes into seconds (multiply by 60 to give you 300 seconds)

What is the slope of the line through the points (-3,3) and (6,-8)

STatiana [176]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \frac{-11}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the equation of change in y over change in x to solve for the slope of the line. Then, we will simplify.

$\displaystyle \frac{y_{2}-y_1 }{x_2-x_1}$

$\displaystyle \frac{-8-3}{6--3}$

$\displaystyle \frac{-8-3}{6+3}$

$\displaystyle \frac{-11}{9}$

The LCD of theses fractions? y/x + y/3+ y+1/y Answers: 3x+y x+3+y 3x+y

Dahasolnce [82]

3xy

y(3y)/3xy + y(xy)/3xy + (y+1)(3x)/3xy 

NOW since all of the fractions have a denominator of 3xy, drop the denominators and solve using the numerators. 

y(3y) + y(xy) + (y+1)(3x) 

3y^2 + xy^2 + 3xy +3x 

cannot simplify further.
