Answer:

D. The slope of the function is positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think the best thing to start with is the slope. Lets figure it out using the slope formula, (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).

Using the points, (-4, -7) and (-3, -4),

(-4 - (-7)) / (-3 - (-4))

= 3 / 1

= 3

Right off the bat, you can see that C is incorrect.

Lets go through the other choices and check now.

Using our slope, lets write an equation in the slope intercept form.

y = -3x + b (derived from y=mx+b)

Now, lets plug in a point (let's say, (-4,-7)) to verify if 3 really is the y intercept.

-7 = 3(-4) + b

-7 = -12 +b

5 = b

Since 3 is not equal to 5, A is incorrect. That leaves us with choice B and D.

We know that the x-intercept is found as (0, a), meaning that this x intercept is (0, 5/3). Let's plug it into the equation!

0 = 3(5/3) + 5

0 = 5 + 5

0 = 10

Since this is obviously incorrect, our answer is D, the slope of the function is positive. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Bob,Cal,and Pete each made a stack of baseball cards.Bob's stack was 0.2 meter high.Cal's stack was 0.24 meter high.Pete's stack

AlekseyPX

Answer:

0.24 > 0.18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Bob's stack = 0.2m

Cal's stack = 0.24m

Pete's stack = 0.18m

To find?

A number sentence.

<em>A simple sentence is a string/collection of words that contain a subject and a verb whereas a number sentence is a sentence that consist of </em><em>mathematical operation</em><em> like +, -, /, * together with an equality such as =, <, >, and like a sentence it also tell a fact.</em>

<em> </em>So, the number sentence that compares cal's stack of cards to Pete's stack is

Can someone help me immediately on this question having to do with triangle ABC?

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

<h3>Answers:</h3><h3>a. Vertices of triangle ABC are: A, B, C</h3><h3>b. Sides of triangle ABC are: AB, BC, AC</h3><h3>c. The side between angle A and angle C is: side AC</h3><h3>d. The angle between sides AB and CA is: angle A</h3><h3>e. Scalene triangle</h3>

=============================================

Explanations:

a. Each uppercase letter represents a point or angle of the triangle.
b. Connect two points of a triangle and you get a line segment. The order of the letters does not matter. So AB is the same as BA.
c. Like with part b, connecting two angles or points forms a segment.
d. Note how the letter "A" is in both AB and CA, so this is the shared angle between the two segments.
e. Sides AB, BC, and AC are all different lengths, so we have a scalene triangle. If you had two sides equal to each other, then you'd have an isosceles triangle. If all three sides are equal, then it would be equilateral.

There is no need for a diagram, but if you want, you can draw one out. See the attached image below for the diagram. This diagram should hopefully answer any questions you may have about the explanations above. There are many ways to draw the triangle, so your diagram might look different from mine.

Not quite sure how to work this out

Zina [86]

you have the hypotenuse and the opposite side so you will use sin
sin58= (30/q)
multiply both sides by q
q(sin58)=30
divide by sin58 in your calculatior
q=(30/sin58)
^ I don't have a calculator with me so you will need to plug that in
