The endpoints of CD are C(–8, 4) and D(6, –6). What are the coordinates of point P on CD such that P is the length of the line s

egment from D? (–2.75, 0.25) (–5, 2.5) (0.75, –2.25) (3.75, –3.75)

If you graph the end points C and D then graph the 4 points at the end it is difficult to tell which points are on CD without a line.  
Using the endpoints find the slope (change in y/ change in x) then substitute a point in to find the intercept.  
Slope = (-6-4)/(6- -8) = -5/7
Intercept equation (-6) = -5/7 (6) + b
b = -1.71428571429
Graphing the line shows only 2 points on the line (–2.75, 0.25) and <span>(0.75, –2.25)
I am confused by the part, "</span><span>P is the length of the line segment from D".  Were you given a length P to help you determine which point.  Using the distance formula to find the length from each point to D doesn't help determine which one is best with the information you have given.  The image shows the distances I calculated and the graphed points. 
I hope this helps!</span>

Look at the graph below. what is the slope of the line? a) -1/2 b) 1/2 c) -2 d) 2

I believe it is b)
Because you always do rise over the run and if it goes right then it is positive and if it goes left it is negative.

Rhode Island has a population of about 60,000 8th graders in the state. New Jersey has a total of 920,000 8th graders. Calculate
seropon [69]

Answer:

8.6 × 10^5

Step-by-step explanation:

New Jersey 8th graders = 920,000

Rhode island 8th graders = 60,000

Difference in Rhode island 8th graders and New Jersey 8th graders population

= 920,000 - 60,000

= 860,000

Answer in scientific notation

860,000

The decimal point will move 5 places in

= 8.6 × 10^5

but here it is-->
1) describle or draw the problem
2) Define (define what varables you are using
3) Do (Set up equation and solve)
4)Decide (chekc ur answer)
5)Declare ( write the final answer (ex..amanda is 2, Jake is 6...)
