The slope of the equation is -2

So first we need to find the slope. The equation find slope is:

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

Either of the points could be denoted as '1' or '2',

Let's plug in the point (0, 8) as '1' and (-1, 10) as '2':

\frac{10-8}{-1-0} = \frac{2}{-1}=-2

So we know that the slope, m, is equal to -2.

The point-slope equation is:

y- y_{1}=m(x- x_{1})

where m is the slope and x_{1} and y_{1} are the point. So since we have two points here, we can pick one to use for the equation. Let's use (-1, 10):

y-(10)=-2(x-(-1))

**We need to make sure that we have accounted for all of the signs. Remember that two negatives equal a positive:

y-10=-2(x+1)

And there is your point slope form of the line that passes through the two points.

Nadia spent 1/4 of her money on a shirt and 2/5 of her money on new shoes. What fraction of Nadias money was spent?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

13/20 of her money was spent.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer you have to add these two fractions together, and to do that you must find a common denominator.

For this problem I chose to use 20 for the denominator since it is the smallest number that both 4 and 5 have in common.

Keep in mind that, whatever you do to the denominator, you must also do to the numerator, so if you multiply 5 by 4, you must also multiply 2 by 4.

5/20 + 8/20 = 13/20

Mitch is replacing all the light bulbs in his home with energy efficient LED light bulbs. How many packages of 4 will he need to
lapo4ka [179]
C) 22

86/4 = 21.5
*5 Or more, raise the score*
(rounds to 22)
you should have 2 lightbulbs left over but you would be 2 lightbulbs short if you were to get 21 packages as opposed to 22
