Hello!

Answer:

B. -3/4

*The answer must have a fraction.*

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope: $\frac{Y^2-Y^1}{X^2-X^1}=\frac{rise}{run}$

$\frac{6-3=3}{(-2)-2=-4}=\frac{3}{-4}=-\frac{3}{4}$

Slope is -3/4

Answer is -3/4

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Answer: Choice B) -3/4

------------------------------------------

Work Shown

Slope Formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (6-3)/(-2-2)
m = (3)/(-4)
m = -3/4

Basically what you do is subtract the y coordinates (6 and 3) and then do the same for the x coordinates (-2 and 2) in the same order. After subtracting, you divide the differences. Reduce the fraction if possible.

The slope of -3/4 means each time we go down 3, we move to the right 4 units. This line is going downhill as you read it from left to right.

Your class is selling boxes of flower seeds as a fundraiser. The total profit p depends on the amount x that your class charges

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

$ 22.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Price charged for each box of seeds = x

Profit gained from from selling boxes of seeds = p

The equation of profit is modeled as

P(x) = 0.5x² + 36x - 179

As per given information if the fundraisers make a profit of $379 then find the minimum price charged for each box of seed.

Now our above equation becomes

379 = -0.5x² + 36x - 179

Simplifying

379+179 = -0.5x² + 36x

558 = -0.5x² + 36x

0.5x² - 36x + 558 =0

multipying both sides of equation by 2

2(0.5x² - 36x + 558) = 2x0

x² - 72x +1116 = 0

Using quadratic formula we get the following factors

x= 49.4 or x= 22.60

As we can the smalles value is 22.6

So, they can charge 22.6 dollar for each bag of seeds in order to get profit of 379 dollars.

53.24-34.99=18.25

$1 will buy 20 minutes of long distance calling

x$18.25 = 365 minutes @ $34.99

$132-$34.99=$97.01

20x97=1,940 minutes

minimum=365 minutes

maximum=1,940 minutes

write an equation of the perpendicular bisector of the line segment whose endpoints are (-1,1) and (7,-5)

gladu [14]

Find midpoint of segment.
(-1,1), (7,-5)
$x= \frac{-1+7}{2}=3,y= \frac{1+(-5)}{2}=-2$

Find slope of line which passes through (-1,1) and (7,-5).
$m= \frac{-5-1}{7-(-1)}= \frac{-6}{8}=- \frac{3}{4}$

The slope of perpendicular line is negative reciprocal value of m.
$m_{\perp}=- \frac{1}{m} =- \frac{1}{- \frac{3}{4} } = \frac{4}{3}$

Write quation of line which slope is $\frac{4}{3}$ and passes throug the point (3,-2).
$m=\frac{4}{3},x_1=3,y_1=-2
\\y-y_1=m(x-x_1)
\\
\\y-(-2)=\frac{4}{3}(x-3)
\\
\\y+2=\frac{4}{3}x-\frac{8}{3}
\\
\\3y+6=4x-8
\\4x-3y-14=0$
