First point = (x1, y1) = (-1, 8)

Second point = (x2, y2) = (5, -4)

m = slope

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) .... is the slope formula

m = (-4 - 8)/(5 - (-1)) .... plug in the given values

m = (-4 - 8)/(5 + 1)

m = -12/6

<h3>m = -2</h3><h3>The slope is -2</h3><h3>Answer: Choice C</h3>

Answer:

The answer is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the slope is y2-y1/ x2-x1
so ( -1 ,8 ) (5, -4) 8- ( -4) ÷ 5- ( -4 ) = 2
hope that help. Have a nice day

Answer:

There are 108 inches in 9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, two unit multipliers mean we have to convert through two units before we arrive at our final answer so we can convert from feet to yards to inches!

We know that 3 feet equal a yard, right?

So we can divide 9 by 3 to get the amount that 9 feet translates to in yards.

$9/3 = 3!$

So we are now done with our first conversion! Our second is going to be from yards to inches!

There are 36 inches in 1 yard so we should multiply 3 by 36 to get the amount in inches!

$3*36 = 108!$

-7c+9=c+1 <br> If you could also show how you did it i would appreciate it

Step2247 [10]

-7c+9=c+1 (subtract c on both sides)
-8c+9=1 (subtract 9 on both sides)
-8c=-8 (divide by -8 on both sides to get c by its self)
c=1
your answer is 1.

If rx – st = r, which expression represents r.

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

${ \tt{rx - st = r}}$

» Collect like terms, r terms on the left hand side by subtracting r from both sides and adding st to both sides

${ \tt{(rx - st) { \green{ - r + st }} = r{ \green{ - r + st}}}} \\ { \tt{rx - r = st}}$

» On the left hand side, factorise out r

${ \tt{ \green{r(x - 1)} = st}} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \tt{ \blue{ \: r = \frac{st}{x - 1} }}}}$

Write the series using summation notation. Then find the sum of the series.

ivolga24 [154]

Hello, please consider the following.

$\displaystyle 1+2+3+...+12=\sum_{k=1}^{k=12} {k}=\dfrac{12*13}{2}=6*13=78$

For the second we will need to put on the same denominator.

$\displaystyle \dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{4}+...+\dfrac{1}{14}=\sum_{k=1}^{k=7} {\dfrac{1}{2k}}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{420+210+140+105+84+70+60}{5*7*3*2*2}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{1089}{420}\\\\=\dfrac{1089}{840}=1.296429...$

Thank you.
