An oil-well contractor drills a shaft 7 meters deeper into the ground every 2 hours. Which graph has a slope that best represent
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Graph G

Step-by-step explanation:

The graphs are attached

Given that the oil-well contractor drills a shaft 7 meters deeper into the ground every 2 hours, hence the rate at which the shaft drills = 7 meter / 2 hours = 3.5 meters per hour

Since the drill goes into the ground, hence the rate is negative that is -3.5 meters per secong

The slope (rate of change) of a line (m) is given by:

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

a) For graph F, the line passes through the point (0,0) and (10, -20). Hence:

Slope\ of\ line\ F=\frac{-20-0}{10-0} =-2\ meters\ per\ second

b) For graph G, the line passes through the point (0,0) and (10, -70). Hence:

Slope\ of\ line\ G=\frac{-70-0}{10-0} =-7\ meters\ per\ second

c) For graph H, the line passes through the point (0,0) and (10, -35). Hence:

Slope\ of\ line\ H=\frac{-35-0}{10-0} =-3.5\ meters\ per\ second

d) For graph J, the line passes through the point (0,-3.5) and (10, -3.5). Hence:

Slope\ of\ line\ j=\frac{-3.5-(-3.5)}{10-0} =0\ meters\ per\ second

Which of the following is a solution of the equation -5x + 2 = -13: answers: x=-9, x=75 x=3 x=-3
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

x= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. -5(3) + 2 = -13      

2. -15 + 2 = -13         <em>A positive times a negative will always equal a negative</em>

3. -13 = -13         <em>Whenever you add anything to a negative number, the                    </em>

<em>                            number becomes smaller   </em>

                     Ex:  -10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...........

                           <em>Although the number itself becomes smaller, its value    </em>

<em>                             becomes bigger       </em>

Hope this helps.

2x - 5 &gt; -9<br> solve inequality
n200080 [17]

Answer:

x>-2

Step-by-step explanation:

first you want to get rid of all of the numbers on the left so you can only be left with 2x>-4 then you decide both sides by 2x because you only want to be left with one x and once you divide you will be left with x>-2
