Answer:

Slope: 2

a: 5

b: 6

y-coordinate when x = 0: -2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, you need to divide the change in the y values between two points on a line by their change in x values. The two complete points given are (6, 10) and (2, 2), so doing this for them would be...

(10-2)/(6-2) = 8/4 = 2, so your slope is 2

To find a, you must use this slope by counting from one of the points. For every one you go to the right, you go up two. So, how many times do you need to go up 2 (slope), from 2 (starting point's y coordinate), to get to 8 (target point's y coordinate)? (8-2)/2 = 6/2 = 3, so 3 times. Add that to 2 (starting point's x coordinate) to get 5, so a is 5.

To find b, you can just use (6, 8). You know you're going to the LEFT one, so you must go DOWN 2. Subtract 2 from 8 to get 6.

For the last question, do the same with (2, 2). You're going LEFT 2, so you're going DOWN 4. Subtract 4 from 2 to get -2.

Let me know if you need a more in-depth explanation on any part of this!

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The polygon given has 6 sides

Sum of interior angles of a 6-sided polygon = 180(n - 2)

substitute n = 6 into 180(n - 2)

Sum of the polygon = 180(6 - 2) = 720°

Thus:

10x + 8x - 16 + 12x - 8 + 7x + 2 + 9x + 4 + 6x + 10 = 720

Add like terms

52x - 8 = 720

52x = 720 + 8

52x = 728

x = 728/52

x = 14

Miranda wants to give her 14-year-old daughter $20,000 when she turns 18. How much does she need to put in the bank now if the i
Eddi Din [679]
20,000 = P ( 1 + 0.1 )^4
20,000 = P * 1.1^4
20,000 = P * 1.461
P = 20,000 : 1.461 ≈ $13,689.25
Answer: Miranda needs to put now in the bank $13,689.25

When a coin is tossed it is either heads or tails. Suppose heads has a point value of 1 and tails a point value of -1. if the su
zvonat [6]

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

Totally there are 50 tosses.  

Let the number of tosses which resulted head be x.  

Therefore the number of tosses which resulted tail is 50−x.

We get x×1+(50−x)×(−1)=14

x−(50−x)=14

x−50+x=14

x=32
