What is the slope of a line that passes through the points (-5,-3) and (9,-6)

To find the slope given two points, you need to subtract the two y values over the two x values
(-5,-3)  (9,-6)
-5 will be x1, and -3 will be y1. 9 will be x2, and -6 will be y2. You then need to put the numbers in the correct place in the equation.
y2-y1      -6-(-3)     -9
-------- =   -------- =  ----
x2-x1       9-(-5)     14
Now that we have the slope (-9/14) you can use one of the coordinates to find the value of b.
Let's use (9,-6).
-6=-9/14(9)+b
-6=-81/14+b
+81/14
b=-3/14
Your final equation is y=-9/15x-3/14

A bookshop is charged $15.40 for a particular book. The shopkeeper wishes to price the book such that his profit would be 30% of
ElenaW [278]
So first you start with finding 30%, and you do this by entering into a calculator 30 divided by 100 and then times it to the original book price. So:
30 divided by 100 x 15.40 = $4.62
So $4.62 is 30%, meaning all you have to do is take the original price of $15.40 and add the $4.62, so:
$15.40+$4.62= $20.02

The answer would be E= 27 miles
You would start out by figuring out how many hours it would take him to swim by dividing 6/2 to get 3 then you would find out how long it would take him to run by dividing 15/6 to get 2.5 and you would add that to the 3 to get 5.5 and subtract that by 7 to get 1.5 which is how long he will have to complete leg 3 so you would take 18x1.5 to get 27 mph

The length of a rectangle is 3ft more than twice the width, and the area of the rectangle is 54ft^2. Find the dimensions of the
777dan777 [17]

Answer: Let length = 2x + 3

Let width = x

Area = 54 ft2

length × width = Area

x(2x + 3) = 54

2x2 + 3x = 54

2x2 + 3x - 54 = 0

(2x - 9)(x + 6) = 0

x = 9/2 and x = -6

x = 4.5 and x = -6

We accept x = 4.5 because length cannot be a negative value. Substituting this value into the dimensions:

width = 4.5 ft

length = 2(4.5) + 3 = 9 + 3 = 12 ft
