What is the value of (3 1/2 - 9 3/4) ÷ (-2.5)

1 answer:

4 0

3 and 1/2=3 and 2/4
3 and 2/4-9 and 3/4=3-9+2/4-3/4=-6-1/4=-6 and 1/4
now
divide by -2 and 1/2
negative divided by negative is positive
also
dividingn fractions, invert secondn one and multiply them
(a/b)/(c/d)=(a/b)(d/c)=(ad)/(bc)
so
convert to improper
6 and 1/4=6+1/4=24/4+1/4=25/4
2 and 1/2=2+1/2=4/2+1/2=5/2

(25/4)/(5/2)=(25/4)(2/5)=50/20=5/2=2.5

answer is D

Find the component form of the vector that translates P(4,5) to p'.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Component form : (-7 , 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

P(4 , 5) = P'(4 +x , 5+y) = P'(-3 , 7)

4 + x = -3

x = -3 - 4

x = -7

5 + y = 7

y = 7 - 5

y = 2

Vector form : -7i + 2j

Component form : (-7 , 2)

Here's a graph of a linear function. Write the

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is y = mx + b

m being the slope, rise over run. And b being the y-intercept. Right off the bat we can visually see the y-intercept is -4.

To find slope, we need to take two sets of coords and apply the slope fomula. The slope fomula is change in y divided by the change in x. The function itself is straight, so that means the slope will be the exact same no matter which points you choose.

(4, -1) and (8, 2) are coords on the line. Do 2 - (-1) to get 3. then do 8 - 4 to get 4. Finally, we just gotta do 3/4 which is simply $\frac{3}{4}$ .
