QUESTION A
The given points are
and 
The slope can be found using the formula;

We substitute the point to obtain;

This simplifies to

Therefore the slope is 5.
QUESTION 2
A positive slope indicates a rising line
A negative slope indicates a rising line
A zero slope means the line is horizontal.
An undefined slope means the line is vertical.
The correct answer is
A. The line rises from left to right.
Answer:
each number is being added by 5
Step-by-step explanation:
<h2>
Answer: x = -6</h2>
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
To solve for x, we have to find a way to make x the subject of the equation (get x on one side and everything else on the other side)
<h3>
</h3>
since -4 = (2/3)x [mutiply both sides by 3]
⇒ -4 × 3 = 2x [divide both sides by 2]
⇒ (-12/2) = x [simplify by dividing -12 by 2]
∴ x = -6
We can assume that B leaves Los Angeles not at noon but at 2pm Eastern Time, so 5 hours later than A leaves New York.
In 5 hours A covers 5*40=200 miles. So, A and B together should cover 3,000-200=2,800 miles.
Combined rate = 40 + 60 = 100 miles per hour.
To cover 2,800 miles they'll need 2,800/100=28 hours.
2pm Eastern Time on Monday + 28 hours = 6pm Eastern Time on Tuesday.
Answer: 6:00pm on Tuesday
