Answer: The slope of the line is $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line can be calculated with the following formula:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Then, given the points $(-3, 5)$ and $(1, 7)$ , you can identify that:

$y_2=5\\y_1=7\\\\x_2=-3\\x_1=1$

Knowing these values you can substitute them into the formula for calculate the slope:

$m=\frac{5-7}{-3-1}$

Finally, evaluating, you get that the slope of that line is:

$m=\frac{-2}{-4}\\\\m=\frac{1}{2}$

Answer:

k = 168

Step-by-step explanation:

$4= \frac{k}{42}$ rewrite the equation

$42 * 4=\frac{k}{42} *42$ Multiply 42 to isolate k. Do the same on the other side

42 * 4 = 168 When you do that you get 168.

Anastaziya [24]

You need to know in how many ways you can choose 10 out of 25 items when order does not matter. This is a combination problem.

$_{n}C_{r} = \dfrac{n!}{(n - r)!r!}$

$_{25}C_{10} = \dfrac{25!}{(25 - 10)!10!}$

$_{25}C_{10} = \dfrac{25 \times 24 \times 23 \times 22 \times 21 \times 20 \times 19 \times 18 \times 17 \times 16 \times 15!}{15! \times 10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}$

$_{25}C_{10} = \dfrac{25 \times 24 \times 23 \times 22 \times 21 
\times 20 \times 19 \times 18 \times 17 \times 16}{10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 
\times 2 \times 1}$

$_{25}C_{10} = \dfrac{23 \times 11 \times 20 \times 19 \times 2 \times 17}{1}$

$_{25}C_{10} = 23 \times 11 \times 20 \times 19 \times 2 \times 17$

$_{25}C_{10} = 3,268,760$
