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.

Which point-slope equation represents a line that passes through (3,-2) with a slope of -4/5?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

y + 2 = -4/5 (x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

y - y1 = m (x - x1). Put in your points for y1 and x1, and always remember to flip your signs.

unfortunately, I don't know why that isn't one of your answers, so sticking with the positive 2 I would choose y+2=- (- 3) if I were you. Looks like the -4/5 disappeared somehow?

Hope this helps

Please help! Find the missing
Veronika [31]

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the missing side

from what we have, the triangle is a right angled triangle

In this kind of triangle, the Pythagoras’ theorem works

The square of the side facing the right angle ( marked x here) is equal to the sum of the squares of the two other sides

We have this as;

x^2 = 5^2 + 12^2

x^2 = 25 + 144

x^2 = 169

x = √169

x = 13
