The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have m = -2 and the points (0, d) and (-8, 9). Substitute:

$\dfrac{9-d}{-8-0}=-2\\\\\dfrac{9-d}{-8}=-2\qquad\text{multiply both sides by (-8)}\\\\9-d=16\qquad\text{subtract 9 from both sides}\\\\-d=7\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\\boxed{d=-7}$

A) If it takes 125 chinchillas to make a coat and he needs to make 10 coats, how many chinchillas must Barton have by the end of

Nesterboy [21]

So one coat uses 125 chinchillas . So, 10 * 125 will give you how many will give you 1250 chinchillas.. this is the number of chinchillas needed for 10 coats. So for 2 years you would have to multiply it by two so, 1250 * 2 = 2500.

suter [353]

The quadrilateral ABCD have vertices at points A(-6,4), B(-6,6), C(-2,6) and D(-4,4).

Translating 10 units down you get points A''(-6,-6), B''(-6,-4), C''(-2,-4) and D''(-4,-6).

Translaitng 8 units to the right you get points A'(2,-6), B'(2,-4), C'(6,-4) and D'(4,-6) that are exactly vertices of quadrilateral A'B'C'D'.

Answer: correct choice is B.
