Answer: m = -5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for slope is rise over run, also known as:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

From the points (x, y), we can get all the variables we need.

(-1, -7) gives us x1 = -1 and y1 = -7

(-9, -2) gives us x2 = -9 and y2 = -2

If we plug all the values in, we get:

m = (-2 - (-7))/(-9 - (-1))

m = (-2 + 7)/(-9 + 1) the negatives cancel

m = (5)/(-8)

m = -5/8

D) 150 miles ~ because when you multiply 150 miles by 30 cents every mile you get 45 which you add to the $20 a day fee you reach $65 which is equal to the $65 of Agency A

Step-by-step explanation:

7×5 = 35

35×2 = 70in

9×5 = 45

45×2 = 90in

9×7 = 63

63×2 = 126in

70+90+126

f(x) = x2. What is g(x)?SIf(x)= x/g(x)(2,1)-5O A.06)-()O B. g(x) = 2x2O C. g(x)-9(x)=(*)O D. g(x)= x2

Andrew [12]

Explanation

As you can see all the possible answers have the same form:

$g(x)=ax^2$

By looking at the picture you'll notice that the graph of g(x) has to pass through the point (2,1). Remember that the points in the graph of g(x) have the form (x,g(x)). Since (2,1) is part of the graph of g(x) then we have the following:
