Graph a line that contains the point (-5,-3) and has a slope of -2

Mathematics

Answer:

-->

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph (-5,-3) and use the slope, -2, to find another point. -2 can also be written as -\frac{2}{1}

\frac{rise}{run} =\frac{-2}{1} and  \frac{rise}{run} =\frac{2}{-1} **

Use both. This works because either way, they will lie on the same line with the same slope. So, starting at (-5,-3), go down two points (-)* and to the left 1 (+)*, then, starting at (-5,-3) again, go up two points (+)* then to the right 1 point (-)*.

* If the number is negative, you either go down or to the right. If the number is positive, you go up and to the left.

**Rise over run refers to the change in the y-axis and the change in the x-axis: \frac{rise}{run} =\frac{y-axis}{x-axis}. Only one number is negative because, if both were negative, that would make a positive number, but the slope is -2, not 2.

Another way you could do this is by finding points first. All you need to do is turn the slope into a "point". Remember, 2 is the y and 1 is the x:

-2=-\frac{2}{1} = (1,-2) and (-1,2)

Then, using (-5,-3) and your new points, add them separately:

(-5,-3)+(1,-2)\\(-5+1,-3+(-2))\\(-5+1,-3-2)\\(-4,-5)

(-4,-5) is one point

(-5,-3)+(-1,2)\\(-5+(-1),-3+2)\\(-5-1,-3+2)\\(-6,-1)

(-6,-1) is another point. Connect the three points. You can check your work on the graph:

Which sequence begins with 1 and follows this rule? multiply by 2 and add 1.
Olin [163]
Change the information into an equation and do sequence. pull out any necessary information.
y = 2x + 1
starts at 1... so your first sequence is 1.
plug in x=1 then it becomes 3. then the next sequence you plug in 3 (, the answer to your previous solve) you get 7. continue to do this. next sequence you plug in x=7 into the equation y = 2x + 1.
thus, y = 2(7) + 1 =15... so forth...
therefore the answer is B.

Hope this helps :)

marge cut 16 pieces of tape for mounting pictures on poster board. each piece of tape was 3/8 inch long. how much tape did marge
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Total tape used by marge is 6 inches .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

marge cut 16 pieces of tape for mounting pictures on poster board.

Each\ piece\ of\ tape\ was\ \frac{3}{8}\ inch\ long.

Total tape marge uses = Number of pieces × Each piece length

Total\ tape\ marge\ uses = \frac{16\times 3}{8}

Total tape marge uses = 2 × 3

                                      = 6 inches

Therefore the total tape used by marge is 6 inches .
