Answer:

a.\ m=2,\ \text{the line is rising}\\\\b.\ m=-\dfrac{5}{4},\ \text{the line is falling}\\\\c.\ m=0,\ \text{the line is horizontal}\\\\d.\ m\ is\ unde fined,\ \text{the line is vertical}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

If

m > 0, then a line is rising

m < 0, then a line is falling

m = 0, then a line is horizontal

m is undefined, then a line is vertical

<h2>a.</h2>

(2, 1) and (4, 5)

m=\dfrac{5-1}{4-2}=\dfrac{4}{2}=2>0\to\text{rising}

<h2>b.</h2>

(-1, 0) and (3, -5)

m=\dfrac{-5-0}{3-(-1)}=\dfrac{-5}{4}=-\dfrac{5}{4}

<h2>c.</h2>

(2, 1) and (-3, 1)

m=\dfrac{1-1}{-3-2}=\dfrac{0}{-5}=0\to\text{horizontal}

<h2>d.</h2>

(-1, 2) and (-1, -5)

m=\dfrac{-5-2}{-1-(-1))}=\dfrac{-7}{0}\ \text{UNDEFINED}\to\text{vertical}

One number is 23 more than another. If the sum of the two numbers is 163, find the two numbers.
kipiarov [429]

ANSWER

93 and 70

EXPLANATION

We have that one number is 23 more than another.

Let the first number be x.

Let the second number be y.

This means that:

x = 23 + y ____(1)

The sum of the two numbers is 163. This means that:

x + y = 163 ____(2)

Put (1) in (2):

23 + y + y = 163

23 + 2y = 163

2y = 163 - 23

2y = 140

y = 140 / 2

y = 70

From (1):

x = 23 + 70

x = 93

The two numbers are 93 and 70.

sqrt(49) = 7

sqrt(a^2) = a

sqrt(b^2) = b

For every two variables you can take one out from under the root sign and thorough the other one away.

Answer: E

2

sqrt(36) = 6

sqrt(a^2) = a  See comment for 1.

b must be left where it is. There is only 1 of them.

6asqrt(b)

Answer: A

3. sqrt(25) = 5

sqrt(b^2) = b

a must be left alone.  There's only 1 of them.
