(5,11) (-5,-1)

Slope = (11 + 1) / (5 + 5)

= 12/10

= 6/5

Answer: the slope is 6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this we have to apply the slope formula:

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

Since each point has the form (x,y)

For our case:

(5,11) = (x1,y1)

(-5,-1) = (x2,y2)

So, replacing with our values:

m = ( -1-11) / ( -5-5) = -12/-10= 6/5

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Are (5/6) and 0.83 equivalent? Explain why.

Mrac [35]

Answer:

They are not equal.

$\frac{83}{100}< \frac{5}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

0.83 =

$\frac{83}{100}$

$\frac{83}{100} >,$

LCM of 100 and 6

300

$\frac{83}{100}=\frac{249}{300}$

$\frac{5}{6} =\frac{250}{300}$

$\frac{249}{300}$

Answer:

$\frac{-\sqrt{65} - 3 }{4}, \frac{\sqrt{65} + 3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we cannot factor the expression, we must use quadratic formula: $x = \frac{-b +/-\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}$

Plug in a for 2, b for 3, and c for -7 and you should find your roots.
