Answer: d. There is no slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that slope = $=\frac{\text{change in y coordinate}}{\text{change in x coordinate}}$

For the given table, since there is no change in x coordinate .

Thus the change in x coordinate is 0.

Therefore, slope= $=\frac{\text{change in y coordinate}}{0}=\infty$

which means the slope does not exist.

Hence, (d) is the right option. There is no slope.

Slope=change in y/change in x

one way is t pick 2 points, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
the slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

pick some points
(8,4) and (8,0)
slope=(0-4)/(8-8)=-4/0=undefined
the slope is undefined
so you could say there is no solpe

answer is D

Solve the equation 2.7 + x = 17

olga55 [171]

Hello!

To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation to see what it equals.

As you can see, 2.7 is added. To get it onto the other side and cancel it from the one side, you will subtract it from both sides as shown below. Note that because of the commutative property, we can switch the places of 2.7 and x.

x+2.7-2.7=17-2.7 (Note that 2.7=2.7 is 0 in this equation.
x=14.3

Our solution is x=14.3

I hope this helped you learn how to solve equations a bit better!

ann pays 300 for membership to a local gym. she is allowed to bring one guest on any visit. John pays Ann 5 to go to the gym wit

klemol [59]

Answer:

The expression represents Ann's membership cost as a function of how many times she brings John along. For t = 5 the cost is 275, for t = 10, the cost is 250 and for t = 20 the cost is 200.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression "300 - 5*t" represents the cost of Ann's membership plan on the local gym, where "t" is the number of visits John pays Ann. This means that the more times John goes to the gym with Ann, the less is her cost to pay the membership.

For t = 5:

$cost = 300 - 5*t\\cost = 300 - 5*5 = 275$
