Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
f(-2) = (-2)^2 + 10 = 14 -> (-2, 14)
f(-1) = (-1)^2 + 10 = 11 -> (-1, 11)
(11-14)/(-1-(-2)) = -3/1 = -3
Answer:
Gina has 5 more feet of silver ribbon than gold
Step-by-step explanation:
7 - 2 =5
Turn the percentage into a decimal by sliding the decimal twice from the right to the left and multiply it to the number
add/subtract it depending on if it's increasing or decreasing
Emma:
Number of hours = 4
Total cost = 18
Where x is the cost per hour n and y is the flat fee
18 = 4x + y
Louise:
number of hours = 7
total cost = 25.50
25.50 = 7x + y
We have the system of equation:
18 = 4x + y
25.50 = 7x + y
Solve the first equation for y
18-4x = y
y = 18-4x
Replace y on the second equation; and solve for x
25.50 = 7x + (18-4x)
25.50 = 7x + 18 -4x
25.50 = 3x + 18
25.50 - 18 = 3x
7.5 = 3x
7.5/3 = x
2.5 = x
a. Cost per hour = $2.5
Now, replace x on any equation and solve for y
18 = 4x + y
18 = 4 (2.5) + y
18 = 10 +y
18 - 10 = y
8 = y
b. Flat fee = $8
c. Use the equation:
Cost = flat fee + cost per hourx (number of hour)
Cost = 8 + 2.5 (2)
Cost = 8 + 5 = $13
