A line intersects the points (-14,-10) and (7,5). find the slope of the line and simplify

1 answer:

5 0

The slope of any line can be calculated using the following rule:
slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

The given points are (-14,-10) and (7,5), therefore:
y2 = 5
y1 = -10
x2 = 7
x1 = -14

Substitute with these values to get the value of the slope as follows:
slope = (5--10) / (7--14) = 5/7

What is the probability that a marble chosen at random is

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

$P=\frac{6}{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability can be defined as the ratio between the possible events and the total number of outcomes.

In this case, according to the image attached, the total number of outcomes is 11, because they are 11 marbles in total.

Now, the specific event is all shaded marbles or labeled with a multiple of 3. With this specific characteristics 6 marbles, because there are 5 shaded marbles and 6 is a multiple of 3. So, the possible events are 6.

Therefore, the probability is

$P=\frac{6}{11}$

The right answer is the last choice.

What is the solution to the equation -5 =8m +12 /4

Dima020 [189]

m = -1

-5 = 8m + 12/4
-5 - 12/4 = 8m
4(-5) - (12/4) = 4(8m)

*to remove the denominator, multiply each figure by 4.

-20 -12 = 32m
-32 = 32m
-32/32 = 32m/32
-1 = m

m = -1

To check:

-5 = 8m + 12/4
-5 = 8(-1) + 3
-5 = -8 + 3
-5 = -5
