Hi there!

Since the slope of the line is any two coordinate points on the line solved by the formula y2 - y1 / x2 - x1, we can follow this formula:

1 - -5
= 1 + 5
= 6

2 - -4
= 2 + 4
= 6

= 6/6
= 1

So, the slope would be 1.

Hope this helps!

$\text{Slope =} \dfrac{1+5}{2+4} = \dfrac{6}{6} = 1$

Subtract 12h+1 from 34h+4 . what is the answer? a.−1/4h+5 b.1/4h+5 c.−1/4h d.1/4h+3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would like to solve:

(3/4h + 4) - (1/2h + 1)

This is equivalent to:

3/4h + 4 - 1/2h - 1

First, combine like terms; that is, combine the terms with h in them and combine the terms without h in them:

3/4h - 1/2h + 4 - 1

The common denominator for 3/4 and 1/2 is 4, so:

3/4h - 1/2h = 3/4h - 2/4h = 1/4h

Put this back in:

1/4h + 4 - 1

1/4h + 3

The answer is thus D.

6. The dimensions of a rectangular garden are 380ft x 250ft. If you want to walk around this garden to make 3 miles for a mornin

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

L=3(5280)/(2(380+250))

L=15840/1260

L=12.57

So to walk three miles one must walk around the garden 12.57 times.

Answer:

$\large\boxed{b\geq3\to b\in[3,\ \infty)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2(b-3)\geq3(3-b)\qquad\text{use the distributive property:}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(2)(b)+(2)(-3)\geq(3)(3)+(3)(-b)\\\\2b-6\geq9-3b\qquad\text{add 6 to both sides}\\\\2b-6+6\geq9+6-3b\\\\2b\geq15-3b\qquad\text{add}\ 3b\ \text{to both sides}\\\\2b+3b\geq15-3b+3b\\\\5b\geq15\qquad\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\\dfrac{5b}{5}\geq\dfrac{15}{5}\\\\b\geq3$
