Answer: Leticia won the first round

==============================================================

Your teacher is basically asking "which value is further from zero on the number line?". The value -19 is 19 units away from zero; while 21 is 21 units away from zero.

See the attached image below. Each "space" is a distance of 1

Absolute value measures distance along the number line. Distance is never negative. In terms of notation, you would say

|-19| = 19 and |21| = 21

The outputs 19 and 21 are then compared. We see that 21 is larger, so therefore, Leticia has the higher score and she won the first round.

Eve plays basketball. She makes 4 free throws for every 3 free throws that she misses. If she missed 36 free throws at her last
zaharov [31]
The ratio of free throws to miss throws = 4/3

Miss throws = 36
So, free throws would be = 36 * 4/3 = 48

So, your final answer is 48

Hope this helps!

What is the equation of the line (-2,-3) (4,5)
sleet_krkn [62]
Slope = m = y2-y1/x2-x1
 = 5-(-3)/4-(-2)
m=8/6
m=4/3
so  eq of line we select any of one point . i select (4,5)
y - y1 = m(x-x1)
y- 5 = 4/3 (x-4)
3y -15 = 4x-16
4x-3y = 1

(x^7/8) (x^1/4)<br> Simplify the expression using the properties of exponents
valkas [14]

Answer:

x^9/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponent property that you can use here is that when multiplying the two exponents, you add their exponents

Thus, (x^7/8) (x^1/4) = x^(7/8+1/4)=x^9/8

Triangle ABC is labeled with points A(5, 2), B(1, 2) and C(3, 6) on a coordinate plane. Find the coordinates of A' B' C' after a
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

After reflection over the x-axis, we have the coordinates as follows;

A’ (5,-2)

B’ ( 1,-2)

C’ (3,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the coordinates A’ B’ and C’ after a reflection over the x-axis

By reflecting over the x-axis, the y-coordinate is bound to change in sign

So if we have a Point (x,y) and we reflect over the x-axis, the image of the point after reflection would turn to (x,-y)

We simply go on to negate the value of the y-coordinate

Mathematically if we apply these to the given points, what we get are the following;

A’ (5,-2)

B’ ( 1,-2)

C’ (3,-6)
