Answer:

Slope = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = $\frac{rise}{run}$

Slope = $\frac{3-9}{2-0}$

Slope = $\frac{-6}{2}$

Slope = -3

Which expression is equivalent to

nirvana33 [79]

For this case, we must find an expression equivalent to:

$\frac {-9x ^ {- 1} y ^ {- 9}} {- 15x ^ 5y ^ {- 3}}$

By definition of power properties we have:

$a ^ {- 1} = \frac {1} {a ^ 1} = \frac {1} {a}$

Rewriting the previous expression we have:

The "-" are canceled and we take into account that:

$\frac {9} {15} = \frac {3} {5}$

So:

$\frac {3} {5x^5 * x ^ 1 *y ^ 9* y ^ {- 3}} =$

According to one of the properties of powers of the same base, we must put the same base and add the exponents:

$\frac {3} {5x ^ {5 + 1} * y ^ {9-3}} =\\\frac {3} {5x ^ 6 * y ^ 6}$

Answer:

$\frac {3} {5x ^ 6 * y ^ 6}$

Option B

What will be the result of substituting 2 for x in both expressions below?

Gnom [1K]

Answer: pretty sure the answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(2) + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5

2 + 6 - 1/2(2) -2 = 8 - 1 - 2 = 5

What is the value of y in the sequence below? 2,y,18, -54,162,

snow_lady [41]

First, let's check if the sequence is geometric or arithmetric.

If arithmetric, the sequence will have common difference.

Arithmetric

$\displaystyle \large{a_{n + 1} - a_n = d}$

d stands for a common difference. Common Difference means that sequences must have same difference after subtracting.

Geometric

$\displaystyle \large{ \frac{a_{n + 1}}{a_n} = r}$

r stands for a common ratio.

To find the value of y, you can check the sequence. If we try subtracting the sequences, the differences are different. That means the sequences are not arithmetric. That only leaves the geometric sequence.

Let's check by dividing sequences.

We have:

2,y,18,-54,162,...

Let's check by divide -54 by 18 and 162 by -54. We need to divide more than one so we can prove that the sequence is geometric.

$\displaystyle \large{ \frac{ - 54}{18} = - 3 } \\ \displaystyle \large{ \frac{ 162}{ - 54} = - 3}$

Hence, the sequence is geometric.

Because the common ratio is -3. Let these be the following:

$\displaystyle \large{ a_{n + 1} = y } \\ \displaystyle \large{ a_n = 2 } \\ \displaystyle \large{ r = - 3 }$

From the:

$\displaystyle \large{ \frac{a_{n + 1}}{a_n} = r}$

Substitute the values in.

$\displaystyle \large{ \frac{y}{2} = - 3}$

Multiply the whole equation by 2 to isolate y.

$\displaystyle \large{ \frac{y}{2} \times 2 = - 3 \times 2} \\ \displaystyle \large{ y = - 6}$

Therefore, the value of y is -6.

How much do you need to subtract from 41/6 to get 6

Svetllana [295]

Well 41 divided by 6 is 6.8333333333333 so you just need to subtract .833333333333

HELP PLEASE, WILL MARK BRANLIEST!!!

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

144

Step-by-step explanation:

angle A + angle B = 180 (supplementary angle)

A = 4B

4b+b=180

5b=180

Divide 5 on both sides to get b=36

180-36= measure of angle A

180-36=144
