Answer:
Slope is -2/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope formula is y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁
So...
(x₁,y₁) and (x₂,x₂) →(2,2) and (-5,4)
4-2= 2
-5-2= -7
2/-7
171 19/32=(171×32+19)/32=(odd number)/32.
But 32=2⁵
Thus, this ratio cannot be simplified, because the numerator is an odd number.
And the denominator is a power of 2.
Answer:
x = {-1/5, 1}
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x - 2)² - 1 = 8
Add 1 to both sides
(5x - 2)² = 9
Take the square root of both sides
5x - 2 = ±3
------------------------------
<u>Solution I</u> for 5x - 2 = +3
5x - 2 = 3
add 2 to both sides
5x = 5
Divide both sides by 5
x = 1
------------------------------
<u>Solution II</u> for 5x - 2 = -3
5x - 2 = -3
add 2 to both sides
5x = -1
Divide both sides by 5
x = -1/5
-------------------------------
x = {-1/5, 1}
He is incorrect because each number is in a different place and those different places are worth more or less than the other places
