Interpret the slope for the situation: The number of people who worked for the railroads in the United States each year from 198

9 to 1995 can be modeled by the equation y = -6.61x + 229, where x represents the number of years since 1989 and y represents the number of railroad employees (in thousands).

Answer:

-6.61

Step-by-step explanation:

Unless there is more included in this problem then -6.61 is the slope. Slope is represented as m in y=mx+b. Simply substituting in the slop and y-intercept shows that m=-6.61 or the slope is -6.61.

Numbers that are greater than 5 and less than 5.75
Goshia [24]
The easy way to think about this is what number comes between 5 and 7? The answer is 6 (but we have to consider that it's negative in this case.) So the answer is -6 Another way to look at it is with a number line (not to "Which number is greater than -7 and less than -5"? scale.)<===(-7)==(-6)==(-5)==(-3)==(-2)==(-1)==(0)==(1)==>Notice how -6 comes between the two numbers. -6 is larger than -7 (it's "less negative" -- "Which number is greater than -7 and less than -5"? closer to zero) -6 is less than -5 (it's "more negative" -- further away from zero)

© ABCD is a rectangle with sides 6 cm and
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

If the sides of the rectangle is 6cm and 8cm, then we mean that, the length and breadth are 6cm and 8cm

The diagonal which cross at AX will be the hypotenus of the triangle formed by drawing the diagonal.

Hence,

Hypotenus = sqrt (opposite² + adjacent²)

AX = sqrt[(8²) + (6²)]

AX = sqrt(64 + 36)

AX = sqrt(100)

AX = 10
