Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(-1,3)....x1 = -1 and y1 = 3
(1,-1) ...x2 = 1 and y2 = -1
now we sub
slope = (-1 - 3) / (1 - (-1) = -4/2 = -1/2 <==

Answer: -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line passing through two points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-

$\text{Slope}=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}$

Given : The endpoints of line segment XY = (-1,3) and (1,-1)

Then , the slope of the line segment XY will be :-

$\text{Slope}=\dfrac{-1-3}{1-(-1)}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Slope}=\dfrac{-4}{2}=-2$

Hence, the slope of the line segment XY = -2

Given: (a) $2(x+3)=2x+6$ and (b) $4(y-3)=4y-12$ .

To find: The expanded form of the given expressions.

(c) $4(m+n)=4m+4n$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(d) $3(5-q)=15-3q$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(e) $5(2c+1)=10c+5$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(f) $3(2x-5)=6x-15$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(g) $7(4b-1)=28b-7$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(h) $3(2x+y-5)=3((2x+y)-5)$

⇒ $3(2x+y-5)=3(2x+y)-15$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

⇒ $3(2x+y-5)=6x+3y-15$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(i) $2(6a-4b+3)=2((6a-4b)+3)$

⇒ $2(6a-4b+3)=2(6a-4b)+6$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

⇒ $2(6a-4b+3)=12a-8b+6$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(j) $6(m+n+p)=6((m+n)+p)$

⇒ $6(m+n+p)=6(m+n)+6p$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

⇒ $6(m+n+p)=6m+6n+6p$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(k) $y(y+2)=y^2+2y$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(l) $g(g-3)=g^2-3g$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(m) $n(4-n)=4n-n^2$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(n) $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(o) $s(3s-4)=3s^2-4s$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(p) $2x(x+5)=2x^2+10x$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(q) $4y(x-3)=4xy-12y$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(r) $5a(2b-5)=10ab-25a$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(s) $4a(3b+2c)=12ab+8ac$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(t) $5p(4p-5q)=20p^2-25pq$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

The ratio of red paint to blue paint is 2:1. What does the ratio 2:1 mean?

Artemon [7]

This means the for every 2 units of red paint, there is 1 unit of blue paint
exg
in a mixture, mix a red and blue paint to get a type of purple that is the ratio of 2:1 (red:blue)
so exg if you wanted 3 gallons you would do 2 gallons of red+1 gallon of blue since 2+1=3
it could also mean quantity
there are 2 tiles painted red for every 1 tile painted blue resulting in 2 unit of red paint to 1 unit of blue

Answer:

the answer is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

in the number 66 there are "2" circles in them and so the answer we get 2

in the number 99 there are "2" circles and so the answer there is 2

in the number 888 there are "6" circles so the answer is 6

in the number 00 there are "2" circles that's the answer

in the number 7777 there are no circles so the answer is 0

we keep on going like that......

in the number 2876 there are 3 circles 2 in the number 8 and 1 in the number 6

hope this helped :D

Are the lines 2y-10x=4 and y-2=5x parallel ??

aleksandrvk [35]

Well,

If the slope of the lines are the same, then the lines are parralel.

We need to manipulate 2y - 10x = 4 into y = mx + b form.

Add 10x to both sides
2y = 10x + 4

Divide both sides by 2
y = 5x + 2

Do the same thing with the other equation.

Add 2 to both sides
y = 5x + 2

y = 5x + 2

It appears that, not only are they parallel, but they lie on exactly the same line! If this was a System of Simultaneous Linear Equations, then there would be an infinite number of solutions!<span />
