Answer: -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the slope of a line is given as :

m=\frac{y_{2} }{x_{2}} - \frac{y_{1}}{x_{1}}

x_{1} = 8

x_{2} = 6

y_{1} = 5

y_{2} = 15

substituting into the formula , we have

m = \frac{15-5}{6-8}

m = \frac{10}{-2}

m = -5

Therefore the slope is -5

Describe the transformation from triangle DEF to triangle D′E′F′ in the figure. Question 17 options:
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

  C)  Reflection about the origin

Step-by-step explanation:

DE points to the right and slightly down. D'E' points to the left and slightly up. The segments are parallel, not perpendicular, so represent a rotation of 180°, not 90°. If the figure were subject only to translation, these segments would point in the same direction.

The transformation is a reflection about the origin (C). (This is equivalent to a rotation of 180°.)

Solve for x. Enter your answer below as a fraction in lowest terms, using the
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

x = \frac{9}{80}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x + \frac{9}{20} = \frac{9}{16}

Multiply through by 80 ( the LCM of 20 and 16 ) to clear the fractions

80x + 36 = 45 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

80x = 9 ( divide both sides by 80 )

x = \frac{9}{80}

What is true of the function g (x) = -2x^2 +5 <br>​
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The domain of g(x) is the same as the domain of the parent function.

The range is the same as the range of the parent function.

The function g(x) increases over the same x-values as the parent function.

The function g(x) decreases over the same x-values as the parent function.

A bus and a train leave the same station at the same time and travel in the same direction along parallel routes. The train runs
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Smallest rate for the train is 50 mph and largest is 60 mph.

For the bus it is 25 and 30 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the speed of the train is 2x then speed of the bus is x mph, and the train travels twice as far as the bus in a given time.

Distance = speed * time

For the largest rate:

d =  2x * 0.5   for the train

x = d

0.5d  =  x       for the bus

d - 0.5d = 15

0.5d = 15

d = 30

So the rate for the train =  30 / 0.5 = 60 mph.

In a similar fashion we can show that the smallest rate for the train is

25/ 0.5 = 50 mph.

Chin canned a number of quart jars and a number of pint jars of tomatoes from his garden. A pint is 16 ounces and a quart is 32
daser333 [38]

We have two variables p and q that need to be found.

p = # of pints

q= # of quarts

16p+32q=1280

- you do not jump into looking for the answer to each variable as it is asking for an equation not to find what p and q is
