Answer:

$\frac{6}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Slope= </em> $\frac{Y_{2}-Y_{1} }{X_{2} -X_{1} }$ = $\frac{RISE}{RUN}$

$\frac{6-12}{5- (-3)}$

You want to use the slope as y2-y1 over x2-x1. So you subtract 6 from 12 and 5 from negative 3. Hope this helps.

Answer:

They would meet each other at $01 : 24$ PM.

Step-by-step explanation:

Erik took a trip to see his friend Mike who lives 308 miles away.

He left his place at 10 AM driving at 70 mph.

In 2 hours, his friend Mike left his place driving towards Erik at an average speed of 50 mph.

As Erik left his house at 10 AM driving at 70 mph and in 2 hours, his friend Mike left his place driving towards Erik at an average speed of 50 mph. It means

Erik left his place at 12:00 PM noon.

so, at 12:00 PM Erik had already traveled:

$2\times 70=140\:\:miles$

Miles left $=308-140=168\:\:miles$

Let 't' be the time when they meet

so

$70t\:+\:50t\:=168$

$120t=168$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}120$

$\frac{120t}{120}=\frac{168}{120}$

$t=\frac{7}{5}$

so

$t=\frac{7}{5}=1.4\:\:hours$

or $1$ hour and $24$ minutes after $12:00$ noon

i.e.

$12\:+\:1.4\:=1\:O'clock\:+\:24\:minutes$

Therefore, they would meet each other at $01 : 24$ PM.

Answer:

122+42x= 2( 61+21x)

4x+16x+24 = 4(5x+6)

24x+48-3x = 21x+48

3x+39-2x = x+29

I need helping solving -3z+7=-7-10z

Tpy6a [65]

-3z + 7 = -7 - 10z

Add 10z to both sides

7z + 7 = -7

Subtract 7 from both sides

7z = -14

Divide by 7

Z = -2

Please help meeee I don't know this

Answer:

$\boxed {m = -\frac{5}{7}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the <u>Slope Formula</u> to determine the slope of two given points:

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

First Point: $(x_{1} , y_{1})$

Second Point: $(x_{2}, y_{2})$

-Substitute both points:

First Point: $(5, 11)$

Second Point: $(19, -1)$

$m = \frac{-1 - 11}{19 - 5}$

-Solve for the slope:

$m = \frac{-1 - 11}{19 - 5}$

$m = \frac{-10}{14}$

$\boxed {m = -\frac{5}{7}}$

Therefore, the slope is $-\frac{5}{7}$
