Answer:

The correct answer is second option

-1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

The slope of line passing through (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by,

Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

<u>To find the slope of given line</u>

Here, (x₁, y₁) = (-2, -1) and (x₂, y₂) = (8, -3)

Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = ( -3 - - 1)/(8 - -2)

 = (-3 + 1)/(8 + 2) = -2/10

 = -1/5

Therefore the correct answer is second option -1/5

Answer:

- 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of a line passing through two points can be calculated as:

\text{slope}=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} \\\\ \text{slope}=\frac{\text{Difference of y coordinates}}{\text{Difference of x coordinates}}

The given points are (-2, -1) and (8, -3). Using the values in above formula, we get:

\text{slope}=\frac{-3-(-1)}{8-(-2)}\\\\ \text{slope}=\frac{-3+1}{8+2}\\\\ \text{slope}=\frac{-2}{10}\\\\ \text{slope}=\frac{-1}{5}

Thus the slope of the line through the given points is -1/5. So 2nd option gives the correct answer

Answer:

6b+37

Step-by-step explanation:

6b+30+7

Since there is a parenthesis, you must get rid of it. You multiply the number in front of the parenthesis and you will get:

6b+30+7

You cannot add a variable and a number, but you can add a number to a number so, you will get the answer

Find the inverse of

y = \left( \dfrac 1 5 \right)^x

For the inverse we swap x and y and solve for y.

x = \left( \dfrac 1 5 \right)^y

Taking logs base 1/5

\log_{1/5} x = y

f^{-1}(x) = \log_{1/5} x

Answer: Second Choice

Note: There's more simplification to do but we'll stop here.

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the composite shape into 2 rectangles.

The dimensions of the 2 rectangles are :

  • w * (x + z)
  • y * z

Then, we plug in the values.

1st Rectangle

7 * (14 + 10)

7 * 24

168

2nd Rectangle

9 * 10

90

Then, we add together.

168 + 90 = 258
