English
1 answer:
patriot [66]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Nicknames describing appearance also became surnames, by complexion (such as “Brown” or “White”), by characteristic (“Wise” or “Young” for instance). Some of the nicknames describing traits, with Old English roots, may have been the earliest surnames. “Lewis” comes from the Old English leofwyne and means loving friend.

A line passes through (5, –4) and (–1, –4).Use the work below.equationWhat can you conclude about this line? Select all that app
Gala2k [10]

we can conclude that the line is a horizontal line because both points share the same y value.

since the line is horizontal and every point on that line will have a y value of -4, the equation is y=-4

finally, the slope of this line IS zero. this is because the line is a horizontal line and all horizontal lines have a slope of zero.

Pls help me out and ill give brainliest
Llana [10]

Answer:

As I lay awake during the desolate and somber hours of the dark, completely oblivious to the world around me. I drift asleep and the deception of dreams catch me in their grasp. I dream of Valiant hero's and steadfast trees. As I watch their leaves turn from a vibrant green to a soft orange. As I gallop through the woods with the audacity to ward of anything that dares to come near. Then I wake. Never to know the sweet world of blossoming trees, again.

Explanation:

=)  this good enough?
