Which is the slope of the line y=−3x+2?y=-3x+2?

The slope is -3.
Finding slope can be easy if you just remember that the formula is set up as y=mx+b.
The number in the 'm' place is always the slope.
Example: y=4x+1, the slope would be 4 because it's in the 'm' place.
If you have trouble remembering which place the slope is, trying thinking about skiing or sledding; you can only sled or ski down a Mountain slope. Mountain starts with M.
M=slope.
Hope this helps :)
If you have any questions, just let me know!

sarah spent a total of 10 on oranges and apples at the supet market. if she spent 3 dollars less for oranges than she did on app

beks73 [17]

Let's write 2 equations from the two statements given.

<em>Sarah spent 10 dollars on both oranges and apples</em>

<em />

Let the price of oranges be "x" and price of apples be "y", thus we can write:

$x+y=10$

Oranges cost 3 less than apples, thus we can say:

$y-3=x$

We can substitute this into the first equation and solve for y:

$\begin{gathered} x+y=10 \\ y-3+y=10 \\ 2y=10+3 \\ 2y=13 \\ y=\frac{13}{2} \\ y=6.5 \end{gathered}$

Thus, let's solve for x now,

$\begin{gathered} x=y-3 \\ x=6.5-3 \\ x=3.5 \end{gathered}$

We want the price of oranges (x), thus,

<em>Price of Oranges = $3.50</em>

Triangle J is shown below. James drew a scaled version of Triangle J using a scale factor of 4 and labeled it

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The area of triangle K is 16 times greater than the area of triangle J

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If Triangle K is a scaled version of Triangle J

then

Triangle K and Triangle J are similar

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z -----> the scale factor

Ak ------> the area of triangle K

Aj -----> the area of triangle J

so

$z^{2}=\frac{Ak}{Aj}$

we have

$z=4$

substitute

$4^{2}=\frac{Ak}{Aj}$

$16=\frac{Ak}{Aj}$

$Ak=16Aj$

therefore

The area of triangle K is 16 times greater than the area of triangle J

At a rat of 64 kilometers per hour, how far will a car travel in 7 1/2 hours?_______

Snowcat [4.5K]

We use the formula $d = s*t$ where d is distance, s is speed and t is time.

$d = 64km*7.5$

$d = 480km$

Therefore, a car would tracel 480 km.
