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

Andre45 [30]

The value of b in the exponential function which is formed by Shanna for the price of land is 8% or 0.08.

<h3>What is percentage increase ?</h3>

Percentage increase is the amount added to the initial value in the percentage part.

The value of a plot of land which is increases 8% every year has the current value of $350000.

The final value owner wants is $570000.  Shanna writes an exponential function of the form, to model the value,v, of the land in t years as,

v(t)=a\times b^t

Here, in this exponential function the value of a is fixed or initial term which is $350000 and the value of b is the constant term which is change factor. Here, the value of b is 8%.

b=8%

b=8/100

b=0.08

Thus, the value of b in the exponential function which is formed by Shanna for the price of land is 8% or 0.08.
