Answer:

Nancy is 6 years old and Stan is 11 years old now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Stan be x.

Then age of Nancy = y

x - y = 5

Last year she was twice as young as he was

Age of Nancy last year = y-1

Age of Stan last year = x-1

2 × (y-1)= x-1

2y -2 = 5 + y -1

y = 6

x = y + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11

Nancy is 6 years old and Stan is 11 years old now.

WHAT IS THE SLOPE OF THE LINE PASSING THROUGH THE POINTS (-2, -7) AND (3, 5)?????? PLZ ANSWER QUICKLY!!​
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The slope of the line with points A(-2, -7) and B(3,5)  is  m =  (12/5).

Step-by-step explanation:

The two pints are given as A(-2, -7) and B(3,5)

Slope of a line with points (a,b) and (c,d) is given as

m =( \frac{d -b}{c-a} )

So, here the slope of line AB is

m =( \frac{5 - (-7)}{3 - (-2)} )  = \frac{5+ 7}{3 +2}   = \frac{12}{5}

or, m = 12/5

Hence, the slope of the line with points A(-2, -7) and B(3,5)  is (12/5).
