Answer:

-1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope of a line given two points by using

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = (-2- -1)/( -4 - -8)

    = (-2+1)/(-4+8)

     = -1/4

Answer:

-1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope is the rise over run. The distance between the y points is -1 while the distance between the x points is 4. therefore the slope is -1/4.

Question 5^ Need help ... ASAP ... your help is really appreciated ...
goblinko [34]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

I think we had a question similar to this before. Again, let's figure out the vertical and horizontal distances figured out. The distance from C at x=8 to D at x=-5 is 13 units while the distance from C at y=-2 to D at y=9 is 11 units. (8+5=13 and 2+9=11, even though some numbers are negative, we're looking at their value in those calculations)

Next, we have to divide each distance by 4 so we can apply it to the ratio. 13/4=\frac{13}{4} and 11/4=\frac{11}{4}. Next, we need to read the question carefully. It's asking us to place the point in the ratio <em>3</em> to <em>1</em> from <em>C</em> to <em>D</em>. The point has to be closer to endpoint D because of this. Let's take each of our fractions, multiply them by 3, then add them towards the direction of endpoint D to get our answer (sorry if that sounds confusing):

\frac{13}{4}*3 = \frac{39}{4}\\ 8-\frac{39}{4} =  \frac{-7}{4}\\\frac{11}{4}*3 = \frac{33}{4}  \\-2+\frac{33}{4} = \frac{25}{4}

Therefore, our point that partitions CD into a 3:1 ratio is (\frac{-7}{4}, \frac{25}{4}).

I'm not sure if there was more to #5 judging by how part B was cut off. From what I can understand of part B, however, I believe that Beatriz started from endpoint D and moved towards C, the wrong direction. She found the coordinates for a 1:3 ratio point.

Also, for #6, since a square is a 2-dimensional object, the answer needs to be written showing that. The answer for #6 is 9 units^2.

Which goes in which order
velikii [3]

4 x  (3+6) = 12 + 24 ---->Distributive

3 + ( 8 + 2) = 3 + (2 + 8) ---> Commutative

6 x (7 x 3 ) = (6 x 7 ) x 3 --->Associative

Pheobe had 6 keys. She paid with a $10.00 bill and received $3.28 change. How much did it cost to have EACH key made
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

$1.12

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to solve this problem is through an algebraic equation. Set up the equation like this, 10-3.28=6x. This equation works because 3.28 is subtracted from 10, which represents how much was spent in total. Then, this is equal to 6x, which represents the total cost of six keys.

So, to solve first subtract 3.28 from 10, this gives you 6.72. Then, divide both sides by 6. This equals 1.12, which is the cost of each key.

Larry paid $4.16 for 4 tomatoes. At this same rate, how much would 7 tomatoes cost?
Anna71 [15]
The question is asking us to find how much seven tomatoes would cost. Well, to get our answer, we must first find the cost of one tomato.  We are given the information that paying $4.16 for 4 tomatoes. All we have to do now is divide 4.16 by 4, to get the price of one tomato. This gives us $1.04. Now, just multiply 1.04 by 7 to get 7.28. Therefore, the price of seven tomatoes is C. $7.28. Hope this helped and have a phenomenal day!

Larry spent a total of $\$64.24$ on four books. If each book cost the same amount, how many dollars did each book cost? Express
ASHA 777 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

64.24  = 4x \\  \frac{64.24}{4}  =  \frac{4x}{4}  \\ 16.06 = x

so one book is $16.06
