Answer:

5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

As we go from point L(0, 5) to point Q(4, -5), x increases by 4 and y decreases by 10. Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = 10/4, or m = 5/2. This 5/2 is also the slope of any line parallel to this one.

Using 2 points (x1,y1) (x2,y2): Slope is defined as (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

So in this case (-5-5)/(4-0) = -10/4 which simplifies to -5/2 or B

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

$3*10^{-6}$ or $0.000003$

Given expression:

$(6.3*10^{-2}) : (2.1*10^4)$

Simplify it in steps below:

$(6.3*10^{-2}) : (2.1*10^4) =$
$(6.3 :2.1)*(10^{-2}:10^4)=$
$3*(10^{-2-4})=$
$3*10^{-6}$ or $0.000003$

$\cfrac{ab}{cd}=\cfrac{a}{c}*\cfrac{b}{d}$

$a^b:a^c=a^{b-c}$

$a^{-b}=1/a^b$

For what values of x is the inequality 2/3 + x/3 >1 true?

Travka [436]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2}{3}$ + $\frac{x}{3}$ > 1 ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fractions )

2 + x > 3 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

x > 1
