<span>One number is one less than five times another ....
</span>Let one number be x<span>
The other number is 5x - 1

Their sum ... 
x + 5x - 1 = 6x - 1

Their sum is decreased by 3
6x - 1 - 3 = 6x - 4

The result is eight
6x - 4 = 8
6x = 8 + 4
6x = 12
x = 2

x = 2
</span>5x - 1 = 5(2) - 1 = 9<span>
One number is 2 and the other is 9.</span>

Use the slope formula to find the slope of the line through the points (2,10) and (10,−8).
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The slope formula is the changes of two y-values over/to the changes of two x-values.

\large \boxed{m =  \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} }

Substitute two given points in the formula to find the slope. The m-term represents the slope from y = mx+b.

\large{m =  \frac{10 - ( - 8)}{2 - 10} } \\  \large{m =  \frac{10 + 8}{ - 8} } \\  \large{ m =  \frac{18} { - 8} \longrightarrow  \frac{9}{ - 4} } \\  \large \boxed{m =  -  \frac{9}{4} }

Answer

  • The slope is -9/4.

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any doubts!

The triangle on the grid will be translated two units left. which shows the triangle translated 2 units left
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Take the coordinates of each vertex (corner point) and subtract 2 from the x-coordinate; leave the y-coordinate alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: If one vertex is the point (5, 3), then it moves left 2 units to (3, 3).

If a vertex is at (-3, 1), then it moves 2 units left to (-5, 1).
