Answer:

Correct Answer: The slope would be -0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to find the change in the y-coordinate and divide it by the change in the x-coordinate.

So it would be (1 - (-4)) = 5 for the change in Y. And it would be (-10 - 0) = -10 for the change in X. So the final slope would be 5 divided by -10, which would result in -0.5.

Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope can be found by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (-4-1)/(0 - - 10)

(-4-1)/(0+10)

-5/10

-1/2

Answer:

The simplified equation is as follows 2x^5 -x^4 + 9x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Remove the parentheses around each equation and pair like exponents together

4x^5 - 2x^5 - x^4 + 3x^2 + 6x^2

Then combine the like terms

2x^5 - x^4 + 9x^2

It is in that order due to the proper form being to go from the highest to lowest exponents in an answer

Solve 4x − 2(x + 1) = 3x + 10. −12 12 −8 8

Dominik [7]

Original Equation: 4x - 2(x+1) = 3x + 10

Step 1: Use Distributive Property
4x - 2x - 2 = 3x + 10

Step 2: Combine Like Terms
2x - 2 = 3x + 10

Step 3: Solve
2x - 2 = 3x + 10
- 2x -2x
--------------------------------
-2 = x + 10
-10 -10
------------------------
-12 = x

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{y}{2} =x^{2} -7$

$\frac{a}{2} =2^{2} -7$

$\frac{a}{2} =-3$

$a=-6$

$\frac{b}{2} =1^{2} -7$

$\frac{b}{2} =-6$

$b=-12$

From the calculations above, we learn that line l and the curve intersect at (2, -6) and (1, -12). Next, we will set up a system of linear equations to solve for the slope and the y-intercept of line l.

$-6=2m+b$
