Answer: 2/3

Step-by-step explanation: To identify the slope of this line, we first need to convert this equation to slope-intercept form.

In slope-intercept or y = mx + b form, the y

is by itself on the left side of the equation.

So our first task in this problem is to get y by itself

on the left side of the equation and we do that by

first adding 2x to both sides to get 3y = 2x + 6.

Notice that I put the x term first on the right side of the equation and then the number because in y = mx + b form, the x term comes first on the right side of the equation.

Continuing on, to get y by itself we would

divide both sides by 3 to get y = 2/3x + 2.

Now in y = mx + b form, the slope is coefficient of the x term.

So we can see that the slope of this line is 2/3.

What is the square root of 18 plus the square root of 2? And is it rational or irrational?

kicyunya [14]

The answer is (rounded to the nearest tenth) about 5.7 and since neither 18 or 2 have a perfect square, so this is irrational.

PLEASEEEE HELPPPP -1+(-5) =

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

-1+(-5)

You are moving down the numberline, then subtracting again because of the negative sign. -(1+5) is how I like to think of it.

So, 1+5=6, and you add the negative sign. -1+(-5)=-6.

Suppose 11 people arrive at a bank at the same time. In how many ways can they line up to wait for the next available teller?

tresset_1 [31]

The answer would be C) because there are 11 possibilities of who can line up first, and after the first person, 10 possibilities, then 9, and so on. So you would need to multiply 11x10x9x8x...x1.

Which expressions show the expanded form for 200.06? Choose all answers that are correct. A. 2 × 100 + 0 × 1 + 0 × 1/10 + 6 × 1/

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Therefore,

Correct options are

A) 2 × 100 + 0 × 1 + 0 × 1/10 + 6 × 1/100

D) 2 × 100 + 6 × 1/100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number is

200.06

For option A)

2 × 100 + 0 × 1 + 0 × 1/10 + 6 × 1/100

= 200 + 0 + 0 + 0.06

= 200.06

Which is CORRECT.

For option B)

2 × 100 + 0 × 1 + 0 × 1/100 + 6 × 1/1,000

= 200 + 0 + 0 + 0.006

=200.006

Which is INCORRECT.

For option C)

2 × 100 + 6 × 1/10

= 200 + 0.6

= 200.6

Which is INCORRECT.

For option D)

2 × 100 + 6 × 1/100

= 200 + 0.06

= 200.06

Which is CORRECT.

Therefore,

Correct options are

A) 2 × 100 + 0 × 1 + 0 × 1/10 + 6 × 1/100

D) 2 × 100 + 6 × 1/100
