Answer:
<h3>The answer is option C</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula
where
(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points
From the question the points are
(8, 10) and (-7, 14)
The slope is
We have the final answer as
Hope this helps you
keeping in mind that parallel lines have the same exact slope, hmmmm what's the slope of the line above anyway?
so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 1/3 and runs through (18,2)
It is helpful to first plug this in to point-slope form (note that there are other ways to do this).
Using the form
, you get
. You can simplify this to get
.
Answer choice A
788 ÷ 14 = 56 with a decimal. Since there cannot be a decimal of a person you know that each country has 56 people. Now you multiply 14 by 56 to get 784. Once you subtract that from 788 you'll get 4 so there are 4 guests from the United States
