Answer:

$VW=21\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that

Point W is between point V and point X

Points W,V and X are collinear

$VX=VW+WX$ -----> equation A (by addition segment postulate)

we know

$VX=(5x+1)\ units\\VW=(4x-7)\ units\\WX=3x\ units$

substitute the given values in the equation A and solve for x

$5x+1=(4x-7)+3x$

Combine like terms in the right sides

$5x+1=(7x-7)$

Group terms that contain the same variable

$7x-5x=1+7$

$2x=8$

$x=4$

<em>Find the length of VW</em>

$VW=(4x-7)\ units$

substitute the value of x

$VW=(4(4)-7)=21\ units$

Which expression is equivalent to

nirvana33 [79]

For this case, we must find an expression equivalent to:

$\frac {-9x ^ {- 1} y ^ {- 9}} {- 15x ^ 5y ^ {- 3}}$

By definition of power properties we have:

$a ^ {- 1} = \frac {1} {a ^ 1} = \frac {1} {a}$

Rewriting the previous expression we have:

The "-" are canceled and we take into account that:

$\frac {9} {15} = \frac {3} {5}$

So:

$\frac {3} {5x^5 * x ^ 1 *y ^ 9* y ^ {- 3}} =$

According to one of the properties of powers of the same base, we must put the same base and add the exponents:

$\frac {3} {5x ^ {5 + 1} * y ^ {9-3}} =\\\frac {3} {5x ^ 6 * y ^ 6}$

Answer:

$\frac {3} {5x ^ 6 * y ^ 6}$

Option B

What is the slope between (-4,4) and (-6,6)

nalin [4]

$\textsf{Let's calculate the slope of the line passing thought the points (-4, 4) and (-6, 6) } \\ \textsf{using the following formula: }\mathsf{m = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}} \textsf{ where m is the slope of the line.}$ $\textsf{So:}$

$\mathsf{m = \dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \dfrac{4 - 6}{-4 - (-6)} = \dfrac{-2}{2} = -1}$

$\textsf{Hence the slope is -1.}$
