Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the slope formula:
where m = slope
Given the coordinates
(-4, 4) ---> this means x1 = -4 , y1 = 4
(2, -5) ---> this means x2 = 2 , y2 = -5
Substitute these values into the slope formula:
So I think maybe the example for the first problem created some confusion, and you may want to have your child take another look.
If we numbered the top half 1 to 9 going from left to right, numbers 1, 2, 6, 7 and 8 are right. They worked because the top number (numerator) perfectly fit into the bottom number (denominator). This is not true for the rest.
The key is to find the largest number that you can think of that will go into BOTH the top and the bottom evenly.
So for number 3: 18/24; 18 does not fit evenly into 24. The highest number that will fit into both is 6, so you divide both top and bottom by 6 and your answer is 3/4.
Number 4: 45/54; the highest number that goes into both is 9, so you divide both top and bottom by 9 and your answer is 5/6.
Number 5: 55/66; the highest number that can go into both is 11, so the answer is 5/6.
Is this making sense?
The bottom, numbering 1 to 9 from left to right. The correct ones are 1, 6 and 9.
For 2: 14/41 is about 15/40. Both can be divided by 5, so the answer is 3/8.
For 3: 20/81 is about 20/80, and 2/8 is close, but can still be divided by 2, so the answer is 1/4.
For 4: 24/49 is closer to 25/50 than 20/50. 25/50 can be divided by 25, so the answer is 1/2.
For 5: it was all correct, but the answer can be further reduced from 2/8 to 1/4.
For 7: 23/72 is about 25/75, and 25 goes into both, so it reduces to 1/3.
For 8: 13/21 is about 15/20, and 5 goes into both, so the answer is 3/4.
As your child continues to learn this, remember that if he or she gets an answer like 2/6 or 6/12, they should ask themselves if they can further reduce the fractions- 2/6 reduces to 1/3, and 6/12reduces to 1/2. I know it's confusing, but they do get the hang of it with practice
Look kid, this question has been up for 14 hours think its time to let it go......... hoped i helped. ✔verified✔
Answer:
7. combination; 25C6 = 177100
8. combination; 15C5 = 3003
Step-by-step explanation:
7. The order of the committee member selections is not important. (It would be if specific people filled specific positions on the committee.) Hence, the number is a number of combinations of 25 people taken 6 at a time.
__
8. The order of players is not important, as it might be if specific choices filled specific positions on the team. (The problem statement gives no indication that is the case. It is only by our knowledge of basketball teams that we entertain the possibility that order might be important.) Hence, the number is a number of combinations of 15 people taken 5 at a time.

Of course, nCk = n!/(k!(n-k)!)
Answer:
(x - 1) (x + 2) (x + 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the following:
x^3 + 5 x^2 + 2 x - 8
The possible rational roots of x^3 + 5 x^2 + 2 x - 8 are x = ± 1, x = ± 2, x = ± 4, x = ± 8. Of these, x = 1, x = -2 and x = -4 are roots. This gives x - 1, x + 2 and x + 4 as all factors:
Answer: (x - 1) (x + 2) (x + 4)
