Answer:

slope = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Azizah got 1 for the slope of the line through 2 points (1,2) and (4,-1).

To find out slope apply slope formula

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

(1,2) is x1,y1

(4,-1) is x2,y2

slope =\frac{-1-2}{4-1}

slope =\frac{-3}{3}=-1

So the slope is -1 not 1

She made a mistake in the negative sign

-1-2 is -3. negative by positive is negative

(1,2)(4,-1)
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope = (-1 - 2) / (4 - 1) = -3/3 = -1

the slope is -1......I am not sure of the mistake.....unless she just added (-1 - 2) and got 3 instead of -3.......or when dividing -3/3....she maybe forgot about the negative sign

A spherical ball with a volume of 972π in.3 is packaged in a box that is in the shape of a cube. The edge length of the box is e
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

V = 4/3 x pi x r^3

972 x pi= 4/3 x pi x r^3

729 = r^3

The cubic root of 729 is 9 because 9 x 9 x 9 = 729.

The radius is 9 inches, and the diameter is 18 inches.

The volume of the box is 18 in x 18 in x 18 in or 5832 in.³.

A circular labyrinth has a circumference of 75 feet what is the distance from the outside edge of the labyrinth in to it center
Bas_tet [7]
The distance from the outside edge of a circle to its centre is given by its radius. The circumference of a circle is given by 2πr, thus if we know that this is equal to 75 feet and using π = 3.14, we get:

75 = 2*3.14*r
r = 11.942
Thus r = 12 ft (to the nearest foot)

A. 15
You have to do: 12(slices) times 5(pizzas) =60slices
Then 60/ 100(%)= 0,6
0,6 times 75(%) = 45
60(slices total) minus 45(eaten slices) = 15(remaining slices)
