Answer:

  • -4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The billiard cue is 15 cm away from the table</u>

  • This refers to coordinates of (15, 0)

<u>The billiard cue touches the table at a point 60 cm off the ground</u>

  • This refers to coordinates of (0, 60)

<u>The slope is as per slope formula;</u>

  • m = (60 - 0)/(0-15) = 60/ -15 = -4

Thea answer is -4

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The foot of the billiard cue is 15 cm away from the table can be represented by the point (15, 0).

The top of the billiard cue touches the table at a point 60 cm off the ground can be represented by the point (0, 60)

The slope formula can be solve with the formula [ y2-y1/x2-x1 ]

60-0/0-15

60/-15

-4

Best of Luck!

Why would "-7" in the expression (x^2+3)-(x-7) become positive?
ryzh [129]
You would use the distributive property with the negative. So the second x becomes negative, but since the 7 is already negative it becomes positive. Think of it as if you put the two dashes together you can make a plus sign.

There are 650 toothpicks in a regular sized box.

That is the volume of the box = 650 toothpicks

Jumbo box is made by doubling all the dimensions.

We know volume = length * width * height = L*W*H

We double all the dimensions for Jumbo box

L becomes 2L

W become 2W

H becomes 2H

Volume of Jumbo box = 2L * 2W * 2H = 8*L*W*H

Volume of jumbo box = 8 * volume of small box

= 8 * 650= 5200

The Jumbo box holds 5200 toothpicks .

What equation is represented by the equation on the graph ?
solmaris [256]

Answer: The correct option is D.

Explanation:

From the graph we noticed that the x intercept of the line is (2,0) and the y-intercept is (0,2).

If the line passing through two points then the equation of line is,

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

Since the ien passing through (2,0) and (0,2).

y-0=\frac{2-0}{0-2}(x-2)

y=-1(x-2)

y=-x+2

This equation is represented by option D, therefore the option D is correct.
