Answer:
Slope in fraction form = 5/2
Slope in decimal form = 2.5
========================================================
Work Shown:
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-5-10)/(-2-4)
m = (-15)/(-6)
m = (-3*5)/(-3*2)
m = 5/2 slope in fraction form
m = 2.5 slope in decimal form
-----------------
Explanation:
The first step is the slope formula where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the two points the line goes through.
I used (x1,y1) = (4,10) and (x2,y2) = (-2,-5)
The slope formula basically says "subtract the y values, then subtract the x values in the same order. Then divide the two differences".
Or you can think of it as
slope = rise/run
rise = y2-y1 = change in y
run = x2-x1 = change in x
Answer: B
Step-by-step explanation:
First, simplify the main expression. The answer is 21.
Then simplify A. It is -106. That is not equal to 21 so A is wrong.
Then simplify B. That is 21. That means B is correct and you don’t have to solve C or D.
Step-by-step explanation:
2.5 + 0.15p = 0.4p
0.25p = 2.5 (subtract 0.15p on both sides)
p = 10 (multiply 4 on both sides)
