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}.

Marcus needs to bike at least 80 mi this week for a training if he has already bike 25 mi this week then how many miles should h
Rashid [163]

Marcus needs to bike at least 11 miles each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Distance to cover = 80 miles at least

Distance already biked = 25 miles

Number of days left = 5

Let,

x be the distance to cover in 5 days.

According to given statement;

Number of days left * Distance to cover + distance already bike ≥ Total distance to travel

5x+25\geq 80\\5x+25-25\geq 80-25\\5x\geq 55

Dividing both sides by 5

\frac{5x}{5}\geq \frac{55}{5}\\x\geq 11

Marcus needs to bike at least 11 miles each day.

What is the value of y in the equation 4(5y − 8 − 2) = 185 − 15? 8. 5 9. 7 10. 5 42. 5.
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

10.5 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

4(5y−8−2)=185−15

(4)(5y)+(4)(−8)+(4)(−2)=185+−15(Distribute)

20y+−32+−8=185+−15

(20y)+(−32+−8)=(185+−15)(Combine Like Terms)

20y+−40=170

20y−40=170

20y−40+40=170+40

20y=210

20y/20=210/20

y=21/2

y=10.5
