We know, Slope = y2-y1 / x2-x1
& also, slope = rise / run

In short, Your Answer would be Option A & C

Hope this helps!

Answer:

(A) and (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is defined as The slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, or a section of a line, connecting two points.

consider two points $(x_{1},x_{2})$ and $(y_{1},y_{2})$ , then the slope formula is given as "rise over run", because the fraction consists of the "rise" (being the change in y, going up or down) divided by the "run" (being the change in x, going from left to the right).

Also, the slope formula is given as:

$Slope=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Hence, the correct statements are:

(A) statement A and (C) statement C

Baker made 5 pounds of icing. He used 4/9 of the icing to decorate. How much did he have left over?

Elena L [17]

If the baker made 5 pounds of icing and used 4/9 of the icing to make decorations, then he used:

5 * 4/9 =
= 20/9 =
= 2 2/9 [of icing]

To find out how much he has left over, we just need to substract 2 2/9 from 5:

5 - 2 2/9 =
= 3 - 2/9 =
= 2 7/9

Answer: The baker has <u>2 7/9</u> of the icing left.

What is the value of the expression: 2 - (3x + 5y) if x = -3 and y = 4?

WARRIOR [948]

<h3>Hello there today we will solve your problem</h3>

here is our equation,

$2-(3x+5y)$ ,

Now we will plug in our numbers

__________________

${\boxed{x=-3}}$
${\boxed{y=4}$

__________________

$2-(3\cdot-3+5\cdot4)$

simplify it and we get

$2-(-9+20)$

$2-11$

$-9$

Hurrrryyyyy plllzzz. Determine the equation of the line that passes through the given points

pashok25 [27]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

y = 2

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

To determine the equation of the line that passes through (10,2) and (-3,2), we need to determine the slope of the line. Then substitute the slope and any given point in point slope form to obtain the equation of the line.

<h3>Finding the Slope of the line:</h3>

$\implies \text{Slope} = \dfrac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}} = \dfrac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} }$

$\implies \text{Slope} = \dfrac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} }$

<u>Substitute the coordinates of the given points:</u>

$\implies \text{Slope} = \dfrac{2 - 2}{-3 - 10 }$

<u>Simplify the equation to determine the slope:</u>

$\implies \text{Slope} = \dfrac{0}{-3 - 10 }$

∴ 0 divided by ANY number is ALWAYS 0.

$\implies \text{Slope} =0$

<h3>Finding the equation of the line:</h3>

Point slope form formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

x₁ and y₁ are the coordinates of any given point.
m is the slope

<u>Substitute the values in the point slope form:</u>

$\implies \text{Equation of line:} \ y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1} )$

$\implies \text{Equation of line:} \ y - 2 = 0(x - 10)$

<u>Simplify the equation to determine the equation of the line:</u>

∴ Any number multiplied by 0 is 0.

$\implies \text{Equation of line:} \ y - 2 = 0$

$\implies \text{Equation of line:} \ y = 0 + 2$

$\implies \text{Equation of line:} \ y = 2$

Thus, the equation of the line is y = 2.

Boris wants to buy new carpet for his living room floor. The floor is in the shape of a rectangle. Its length is 16 feet and its

Flura [38]

Use the are formula for a rectangle which is Length times Width to find the amount of square feet of carpeting.(16 times 14=224ft^2) Then you need multiply 224 by 12 because you have 224 square feet at $12 per square foot. So in the end it will cost $2688 to get the new carpet.
