Answer:

<h2>-4</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the line containing the points.

x | -7. -6. -5. -4

y | 21. 17. 13. 9

The slope of the line is expressed as m = Δy/Δx = y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

Using the coordinates y (21, 17) and corresponding value of  x(-7, -6)

y₁ = 21, y₂ = 17 x₁ = -7, x₂ = -6

Substituting the values into the formula for calculating the slope, we have;

m = Δy/Δx = 17-21/-6-(-7)

m = -4/-6+7

m = -4/1

m = -4

<em>Hence the slope of the line that contains these points is -4</em>

The product of two consecutive positive integers is 1,332. Explain how you can write and solve a quadratic equation to find the
taurus [48]
Product of two consecutive integer so this mean that x and y but y = x+1 than

x(x+1)=1332

x^2 +x -1332 =0  so bc. you get 36*37=1332 and 37x-36x=x so you can rewriting this quadratic factorized completlie 

x^2 +x -1332 = 0

(x+37)(x-36)=0

x+37=0

x=-37 so the larger integer result that will be 37

Walter is mixing cement for his new patio . He knows he need to use a water-to-cement ratio of 20 to 30 . What percent of his to
kherson [118]
If his water to cement ratio is 20 to 30, this means that if he uses 20 liters of water, he'd use 30 liters of cement.

The total mixture would then be 20+30=50 liters.

and the water would be 20/50=0.4 or 40% of the total mixture.

On the playground the teacher observed bicycles and tricycles. she counted 72 wheels and 28 total cycles. How many of them were
Andreyy89

Answer:

  16 tricycles

  12 bicycles

Step-by-step explanation:

If all were bicycles, there would be 28·2 = 56 wheels. Each additional wheel indicates the presence of a tricycle instead of a bicycle.

There are 72 -56 = 16 tricycles. The remaining 28-16 = 12 are bicycles.

How to do literal equations?
mixer [17]

See examples before for the method to solving literal equations for a given variable: Solve A = bh for b. Since h is multiplied times b, you must divide both sides by h in order to isolate b. Since (c+d) is divided by 2, you must first multiply both sides of the equation by 2.

Which statement best applies to the function y = x squared?
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

b.  The range only includes numbers greater than or equal to 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Any square of a number will never lead to a negative number

The range of an equation is it's numerical possibilities for y

Since a square of a negative number never leads to a negative y

The answer is therefore, the range can only be zero and above

(otherwise the roots would be imaginary)
