Answer:

$m = \frac{d - b}{c - a} \: where \: c \ne \: a$

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the slope formula:

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The slope or gradient is not very difficult to calculate.

The given points are:

A(a,b) and B(c,d)

We substitute these points into the formula to get:

$m = \frac{d - b}{c - a} \: where \: c \ne \: a$

Note that this is also the same as:

$m = \frac{b - d}{a- c} \: where \: c \ne \: a$

Park two has 12 more benches than Park one. If 2 benches were transferred from Park two to Park one, then Park two would have 2

marta [7]

Answer:

There were 6 benches in park 1 and 18 benches in park 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the no of benches in Park 1 and y in park 2.

Given that there are 12 more benches in park 2 than 1

Writing this in equation form, we have y = x+12 ... i

Next is if 2 benches were transferred from park 2 to park 1, then we have

x+2 in park 1 and y-2 in park 2.

Given that y-2 = twice that of x+2

Or y-2 = 2x+4 ... ii

Rewrite by adding 2 to both sides of equation ii.

y = 2x+6 ... iii

i-iii gives 0 = -x+6

Or x =6

Substitute in i, to have y = 6+12 = 18

Verify:

Original benches 6 and 18.

18 = 6+12 hence I condition is satisfied

18-2 = 2(6+2)

II is also satisfied.

kramer

Answer:

C. 25:4

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of plants in Robert's garden = 8 + 4 + 16 + 22

= 50

Number of tomato plants in Robert's garden = 8

Ratio of total number of plants to the number of tomato plants = 50 : 8

Simplify

50 : 8 = 25:4

Answer:

Jim reached a greater depth by one foot, as he started 12 feet below the surface.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim

12 feet+17 feet = 29

29-3 feet (rose 3 feet) = 26

26+8= 34 feet

Carla

0 feet (surface)+ 19 feet= 19

19-3 feet= 16

16+17= 33 feet
