We are given two points: (-1, -1) and (1, -4). Slope is calculated as the change in y over the change in x, or rise over run.
The change in y is the difference of the two y coordinates (it doesn't matter the order): -1 - (-4) = 3
The change in x is the difference of the two x coordinates (this order depends on the order that you subtracted the y coordinates; they must be the same order): -1 - 1 = -2.
So, the slope is 3/-2
Answer:
We call the denominator rational.
Step-by-step explanation:
For example:

It's clear that the denominator is now a rational number, not an irrational one anymore.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Distance traveled by seal to catch the fish = 15 below sea level
Sea lion wanted to catch a larger fish so sea lion dove 6 feet lesser than two time the distance that the seal traveled.
To find:
The expression to represent the position of the sea lion in the sea.
Solution:
If the distance traveled by seal is represented by
then as per the question statement:
Twice of
= 
6 lesser than twice of
=
- 6
Now, putting the value of
= 15
Therefore, the expression to represent the sea lion's position w.r.to sea level.

Let's assume
length of rectangle =L
width of rectangle =W
You enclose 3 sides of the garden with 40 feet of fencing
so, we get

now, we can solve for L

we know that
area of rectangle is


now, we can plug

now, we can solve for W

we can use quadratic formula


we can take anyone value ..because both are giving positive value
first dimensions:

now, we can find L


so, length is 34.142feet
width is 2.929 feet
Second dimensions:

now, we can find L


so, length is 5.858feet
width is 17.071 feet
