Find the slope of the line passing through the points (8,-6) and (4,-8) .

Mathematics
1 answer:
Murljashka [212]4 years ago

Answer:

1/2 is the slope of the line

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope, use the following equation

slope (m) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

First, set each coordinate. Let:

(x₁ , y₁) = (8 , -6)

(x₂ , y₂) = (4 , -8)

Plug in the corresponding numbers for the corresponding variables.

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

m = (-8 - (-6))/(4 - 8)

Simplify. Note that two negative signs would result in a positive sign.

m = (-8 + 6)/(4 - 8)

Combine like terms.

m = -2/-4

Simplify. Divide common factors from both the numerator and denominator.

m = (-2/-4)/(-2/-2) = 1/2

1/2 is the slope of the line

Use a number line to find the quotient <br> 3/5 divided by 3/10<br> (———————————)
frutty [35]

Answer:

2 ( plot the answer on 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We do the reciprocal of 3/10 because we are dividing fraction. Which would be 10/3. Change the sign to multiplication because we are dividing fractions. And multiply regularly. SO it would be 3/5 times 10/3 = 2

4. Lucy is k years old. She has a sister who is three years younger than she is and
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

4k - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Lucy is k years old so we know k is an important part of this problem.
Sister 1 is 3 years younger, so she is k - 3 years old.
Sister 2 is 5 years less than twice Lucy's age therefore, she is 2k (twice Lucy's age) - 5 years old.
Now we have: k + (k - 3) + (2k - 5)
We can simplify like terms with the k's and get 4k. then we add (-3) and (-5) to get 4k - 8.

Hope this helps!

What single decimal multiplier would you use to decrease by 6% followed by a 19% increase?
s344n2d4d5 [400]
Decrease by 6% = 100 - 6 = 94

Increase this by 19%

= 19/100 x 94
= 17.86

94 + 17.86 = 111.86

\ 100 = 1.1186

All you have to do to solve this question is to plug in gx as any other number you would plug in to the f(x) to solve the equation.

So it would be

F(3x-8) = 3(3x-8)^2 - 5(3x-8) - 9

Then FOIL the terms in the binomial or the first term, then after expanding the first term, distribute the numbers into each term inside the bracket and then at the end gather like terms to simplify.
