Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(4, -6) and (-5, 9)

Slope is m

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

y2 = 9, y1 = -6, x2 = -5 and x1 = 4

m = {9-(-6)}/{-5 -4}

m = {9+6}/(-9)

m = 15/-9

m = -5/3

Answer:

-5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient/m = y1 - y2/ x1 - x2

so, 9-(-6)/ -5-4

= 15/-9 , which simplifies to -5/3 If divided both numbers by 3

First plug in -4 for g to get 3(-4)-1. 3(-4) equals -12, and -12-1 equals -13.

Assign two variables for each problem, and write the equations. Do not solve.

Xelga [282]

Call the number of trumpet players "T" and the number of horn players "H".

We can use the given information to set up equations:

1."<span>the number of trumpet players is 4 times the number of French horn players"
$T=4H$

2. "</span><span>There are 35 trumpet and French horn players in the band."
$T+H=35$

If you were asked to solve you could now do it by substitution:
$4H+H=35$
$5H=35$
$H=7$
$T=4H$
$T=4(7)$
$T=28$ </span>
