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}

The following two-way table describes student's after school activites. Find the probability that a randomly selected student is
stiv31 [10]

The probability that a randomly selected student is in music/drama is 25%

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

From the table, we have the following values

Music/Drama = 7 + 13 + 5 = 25

Total = (20 + 20 + 25 + 7 + 13 + 5 + 3 + 2 + 5) = 100

The probability is then calculated as:
P = Music/Drama / Total

So, we have:

P = 25/100

Express as percentage

P = 25%

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected student is in music/drama is 25%

-4/9x=16/27 alguien que me ayude
Andre45 [30]
<h3>Answer</h3>

First multiply everything by 27

-  \frac{4}{9} x =  \frac{16}{27}  =  \\ 27 \times ( -  \frac{4 }{9}x) = 27 \times  \frac{16}{27}

Then approximate the terms with 27 if it's possible (27 and 9) (27 and 27)

3 \times (   - \frac{4}{1} ) = 16

So now multiply again

3 \times ( - 4) =  - 12

And you have

- 12x = 16

x =  -  \frac{16}{12}  =  -  \frac{4}{3}

You're welcome if it's right
