I say the answer is 9 because he wrapped 8 games and 1 console and 8+1=9.
The slope is 2/1
to get slope you do rise over run
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Carter rode his bike 9/10 of a mile from his house to his grandmothers house. This means that the distance from Carter's house to his grandmother's house is 0.9 miles. On his way back home, he rode 3/8 of a mile before the tyre on his bike went flat. This means that he rode 0.375 miles before his tyre went flat. The distance he must walk before he gets home will be the total distance from home minus the distance that he rode. It becomes
0.9 - 0.375 = 0.575 miles
<span> first, write the equation of the parabola in the required form: </span>
<span>(y - k) = a·(x - h)² </span>
<span>Here, (h, k) is given as (-1, -16). </span>
<span>So you have: </span>
<span>(y + 16) = a · (x + 1)² </span>
<span>Unfortunately, a is not given. However, you do know one additional point on the parabola: (0, -15): </span>
<span>-15 + 16 = a· (0 + 1)² </span>
<span>.·. a = 1 </span>
<span>.·. the equation of the parabola in vertex form is </span>
<span>y + 16 = (x + 1)² </span>
<span>The x-intercepts are the values of x that make y = 0. So, let y = 0: </span>
<span>0 + 16 = (x + 1)² </span>
<span>16 = (x + 1)² </span>
<span>We are trying to solve for x, so take the square root of both sides - but be CAREFUL! </span>
<span>± 4 = x + 1 ...... remember both the positive and negative roots of 16...... </span>
<span>Solving for x: </span>
<span>x = -1 + 4, x = -1 - 4 </span>
<span>x = 3, x = -5. </span>
<span>Or, if you prefer, (3, 0), (-5, 0). </span>
