Answer:

m=-\frac{8}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

A(-1,4),B(4,-4)

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

substitute the values

m=\frac{-4-4}{4+1}

m=\frac{-8}{5}

m=-\frac{8}{5}

Answer: -\frac{8}{5}

Remember: RISE/RUN (y/x). Lines that are increasing have a positive slope, and lines that are decreasing have a negative slope.

You can find the slope in two ways:

1. Useful if the line is graphed: count the units between 2 points on the line.

  • Let's use the points (-1, 4) and (4, -4).
  • (-1, 4) is 8 units higher than (4, -4) and 5 units to the left of (4, -4).
  • Because the line is decreasing, the slope is negative.
  • Therefore, the slope is -\frac{8}{5}.

2. Useful if the line is not graphed: find the difference between the y-coordinate values divided by the difference of the x-coordinate values.

  • Let's use the points (-1, 4) and (4, -4).
  • \frac{-4 - 4}{4 - (-1)} = \frac{-8}{5}
  • Therefore, the slope is -\frac{8}{5}.

Two trains arrived at a station at 2:55 P.M., with one arriving on Track A, and the other arriving on Track B. Trains arrive on
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

B) 5:19 P.M.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that two trains arrived at a station at 2:55 P.M., with one arriving on Track A, and the other arriving on Track B. Trains arrive on Track A every 16 minutes, and they arrive on Track B every 18 minutes.

Now we need to find about at what time will trains next arrive at the same time on both tracks.

Then next time trains arrive at the same time on both tracks. can be found by taking least common multiple of 16 and 18 minutes.

Multiples of 16 and 18 are

16 32 48 64 80 96 112 128 144 160

18 36 54 72 90 108 126 144 162 180

Least common multiple of both is 144

Hence both trains will arrive at the same time after 144 minutes

or at (2:55 PM+144 minutes)

= (2 hours 55 min)+(144 min) PM

= (2 hours 55 min)+(2 hours 24 min) PM

= (2 hours 55 min)+(2 hours 24 min) PM

= 5 hours 19 minutes

Hence correct choice is B) 5:19 P.M.
