The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points (0,) and (0, -5). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{-5-3}{0-0}=\dfrac{-8}{0}\ \ \ \bbbig{!!!!!}\ \text{division by 0 !!!!!}$

<h3>Answer: slope is undefined</h3>

This is the line lying on the y-axis (vertical line x = 0).

Answer:

slope is undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 5)

m = $\frac{-5-3}{0-0}$ = $\frac{-8}{0}$

Division by 0 is undefined, hence slope is undefined

In fact this is the slope of a vertical line

Which statement does NOT correctly compare silicon with another element? A) Silicon is a better conductor of electricity than su

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Silicon is a member of Group 14 (IVA) in the periodic table. The periodic table is a chart that shows how chemical elements are related to one another. Silicon is also part of the the carbon family. Other carbon family elements include carbon, germanium, tin, and lead. Silicon is a metalloid, one of only a very few elements that have characteristics of both metals and non-metals.

Silicon is the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust, exceeded only by oxygen. Many rocks and minerals contain silicon. Examples include sand, quartz, clays, flint, amethyst, opal, mica, feldspar, garnet, tourmaline, asbestos, talc, zircon, emerald, and aquamarine. Silicon never occurs as a free element. It is always combined with one or more other elements as a compound.By the early 1800s, silicon was recognized as an element. But chemists had serious problems preparing pure silicon because it bonds (attaches) tightly to oxygen. It took chemists many years to find out how to separate silicon from oxygen. That task was finally accomplished in 1823 by Swedish chemist Jons Jakob Berzelius (1779-1848).

Silicon's most important application is in electronic equipment. Silicon is one of the best materials from which to make transistors and computer chips. The total weight of silicon used for this purpose is relatively small. Much larger amounts are used, for example, to make metal alloys. An alloy is made by melting and mixing two or more metals. The mixture has properties different from those of the individual metals.

How is a calculation of net worth different from a day-to-day or month-to-month tallying of expenses?

alina1380 [7]

The difference in tallying of expenses from a day to day and month to month is the consistency. in a day to day basis it is consistent the time for a day is 24 hrs it will not change, so you will really know why the expenses goes up or down/ unlike for a month to month it is inconsistent,, some months have 30, 31 or 28 days in a month.
