Each time they assume the sum<span> is </span>rational<span>; however, upon rearranging the terms of their equation, they get a contradiction (that an </span>irrational number<span> is equal to a </span>rational number<span>). Since the assumption that the </span>sum of a rational<span> and </span>irrational number<span> is </span>rational<span>leads to a contradiction, the </span>sum<span> must be </span>irrational<span>.</span>
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The form of equation of line given in the problem is the point-slope form of a line. That is given by:

We need
and m (denoted by boxes)
is the y coordinate of the first set of points.
The first coordinate pair is (9,7), so
would be 7

Now, the slope (m).
It has formula

So, x_1 = 9
y_1 = 7
x_2 = 4
y_2 = -8
Substituting, we get the slope to be:

Hence, the equation of the line in point-slope is:

40 x 10 = 400
400 / 100 = 4
Mai has 4 hundreds.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
In a triangle, the sum of any two sides must be bigger than the third.
For the first one, 10+20=30 is not greater than 30, so this is not correct.
For B, 122+137 = 259 > 257, 257+137>122 , and 257 + 122 > 137. This works
For C, 8.6 + 2.7 = 11.3 < 12.2, so this does not work
For D, 1/6 + 1/5 = 5/(6*5) + 6/(6*5) = 5/30 + 6/30 = 11/30 < 1/2 = 15/30, so this does not work
