Its Letter B -0.5

negative because its slope is negative (from left to right it's going downward)

so there are 2 negavite numbers in the choices, -0.5 and -0.95.

The nearer the value to 1 the less scatter it is. The farther the value to 1 (means nearer to 0) the more scatter it is. Because the plot in the picture is mostly scattered the value should be nearer to 0. It is negative 0.5.

Somebody... PLEASE help What is the only solution of 2x2 + 8x = x2 – 16?

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

x= - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2 * x^2 + 8 * x = x^2 - 16

2 * x^2 - x^2 + 8 * x + 16 = 0

x^2 + 8 * x + 16 = 0

(x + 4) * (x + 4) = 0

x = - 4

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

A) 8, 15, 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Right triangle obey the Pythagorean theorem. Thus, we choose the two smaller numbers (being the cathetus) and if after applying the P. Theorem we get the biggest of each option (the hypotenuse) that means that those numbers could be the sides of a right triangle.

The Pythagorean theorem states that: $a^2+b^2=c^2$
