Finding the slope using two points, (5, -1) and (-8, -4)

The formula for slope is

\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

In this case...

y_{2} =-4\\y_{1} =-1\\x_{2} =-8\\x_{1} =-5

^^^Plug these numbers into the formula for slope...

\frac{-4-(-1)}{-8-5}

\frac{-3}{-13}

\frac{3}{13}

^^^This is your slope

Hope this helped!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find a slope using two points is:

m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\m = ((-4)-(-1))/((-8)-(5))\\m = -3 / -13\\m = 3/13

A single die is rolled once. Find the probability of rolling a number less than 7.
Jobisdone [24]

Seven hundred new chairs were delivered to a school. If each class
Natalija [7]

Answer:

24 chairs in each class needed

25 classrooms

700 chairs total

how many extra chairs

chairs will be c

t is total

t= 25×c

opposite of multiplication is division( 25 is multiplying by c) c needs to be alone

25 classrooms times chairs equal total chairs

t is 700

700=25×c

700/25=25/25c

700/25=C

c is 28

so 28 chairs for 25 classrooms

they need 24 chairs per class

so there are 4 extra chairs per class

4×25 is 100

**or just multiply 25 classes and 24 chairs

25 times 24 is 600

there are 700 chairs

100 left over

so 100 extra chairs

Help plzzzzzzz <3333
STatiana [176]

Answer:

It is $66.50 cheaper to purchase a return trip ticket than it is to purchase 2 one-way tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is asking us how much does 2 one-way tickets costs as opposed to a return trip ticket.  First, let's figure out how much does 2 one-way tickets cost.

Equation:

287.75 x 2 = 575.50

2 one-way tickets cost $575.50.

Then, to find the difference, subtract the return trip cost from the two one-way tickets.  

Equation: 575.50 - 509.00 = 66.50

The difference between the two is $66.5

Conclusion: It is $66.50 cheaper to purchase a return trip ticket than it is to purchase 2 one-way tickets.

I hope this helps!
