Answer:

2 / 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the rise over the run.

In this case, the rise is 2 - (-6) = 2 + 6 = 8.

The run is 4 - (-16) = 4 + 16 = 20.

So, the slope is 8 / 20 = 4 / 10 = 2 / 5.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

the slope of the line that goes through (4,2) and (-16,-6) is 2/5

m= 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to find the slope we use the ∆y/∆x which is really the change in y over the change in x.

so all you have to do is find your y's and X's.

your y's are -6 and 2

your X's are -16 and 4

now in order to find the change in y and x you subtract your y's and x'x

the formula for this is:

∆y/∆x = y1-y2/x1-x2= (m aka the slope)

y1 is -6

and y2 is 2

-6 - 2 = -8

now do the X's

X1 is -16

and X2 is 4

-16 - 4 = -20

put that in fraction form and it's -8/-20

simplify that you get 2/5

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

A geometric sequence is in the form aₙ = ar⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾, where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

The geometric sequence 81, 27, 9, 3, … has common ratio:

r = 27/81 = 1/3

A mountain climber is at an elevation of 10,712 feet. After 4 hours, he is at an elevation of 8,884 feet. Find the climber’s ver
Illusion [34]
I am not sure about the formula but if you subtract 8,884 from 10,712 you get 1,828. Then, if you divide that by 4 you get 457. 457 fph(feet per hour) should be the climbers vertical speed.

Answer:

480

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the difference between 2400 and 40 by dividing:

2400 / 40 = 60

Multiply each value by 60:

12 x 60 = 720 chocolate

15 x 60 = 900 caramel

5 x 60 = 300 banana

8 x 60 = 480 marshmallow
