Answer:

-1.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you find the distance from the first x coordinate to the second. This is done by doing -5 - -1 (aka -5 + 1), which equals -4. Then, you find the distance form the first y coordinate to the second. THis is done by doing 0 - -4 (aka 0 + 4), which equals 4. Then, you divide the distance of the y's over the distance of the x's, which gets you the slope, which is -1. Hope this helped!

Shawna, Dexter, and Tilana are solving the equation Negative 2. 5 (5 minus n) 2 = 15. Shawna says, "I can begin by dividing each

aleksandrvk [35]

Shawana, Dexter, and Tilana are correct.

<h2>Given that</h2>

Equation: $\rm -2.5(5 - n) + 2 = 15


$

<h3>We have to determine</h3>

Which students are correct?

<h3>According to the question</h3><h3>Equation: $\rm -2.5(5 - n) + 2 = 15


$ </h3>

The correct way to solve the equation is;

SHAWNA

Statement: Dividing each side of the equation by –2.5,

$\rm \dfrac{-2.5(5 - n) + 2 }{-2.5}= \dfrac{15}{-2.5}\\
\\
(5-n) - \dfrac{2}{2.5} = \dfrac{15}{-2.5}\\\\
\\
$

Here, Shawna is correct.

DEXTER

Statement: Distributing -2.5 to get -12.5 + 2.5 n + 2 = 15.

$\rm -2.5(5-n) +2=15\\
\\
-2.5(5) - 2.5 (-n) +2= 15\\
\\
-12.5 +2.5n +2=15$

Hence, Dexter is correct.

" Tirana says, "I can begin by multiplying each side of the equation by Negative Start fraction 1 over 2. 5 End fraction to get 5 minus n minus 0. 8 = negative 6. "

$\rm \dfrac{-1}{2.5} (-2.5 (5-n)+2)= \dfrac{-1}{2.5}\times 15\\
\\
(5-n) + \dfrac{-2}{2.5} = \dfrac{-15}{2.25}\\
\\
(5-n) -\dfrac{2}{2.5} = \dfrac{-15}{2.5}\\
\\
5-n-0.8=-6$

Hence, Tilana is also correct.

Hence, Shawana, Dexter and Tilana are correct.

Write an equation off the line that passes through the point -4 -3 and is parallel to 4 y- X=- 16

ycow [4]

Parallel lines on a graph need to have the same slope. So if you put 4y-x=-16 is slope-int form, you get y=1/4x-4. Now, you have to make another equation like this. So since you know that the slope has to be 1/4, the start of the equation for a line that passes (-4,-3) is y=1/4x. Now, When you plug in -4 is in the x, you get 1/4(-4)=-3. However, -1=-3 is not true. So, what do you add or subtract to -1 to get -3? You get -2, which is the y-intercept in the slope-int form, mx+b. So for your final equation, you get y=1/4x-2
