What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-1,-7) and (-9,-2)?

Mathematics

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

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are H(6, 4) and K(2, 8).
Serhud [2]
The midpoint formula is ( x + x / 2, y + y / 2) 
so....
6+ 2 = 8 / 2 = 4
4 + 8 = 12 / 2 = 6
the midpoint is (4, 6)

Elmo has two different part tike jobs and he works 20 hours per week at each job. He earns $8 per hour at one job. Which express
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Earned = 160 + 20d

Step-by-step explanation:

Seeing as Elmo works 20 hours per week at each job, that means he worked 20 hours at the $8 job and 20 hours at the $d job.

First find how much he earned from his $8/hr job.

(20)8 = 160

Elmo earned $160 at this $8/hr job.

Next, we know he earns $d/hr at his other job, and he works 20 hours at that job as well.

(20)d = 20d

Add the earnings from both jobs together.

160 + 20d = total earnings
