Answer:

A. -6.5°C/km

Step-by-step explanation:

It's easier to find slope if we can locate two points.

Looking at the graph, it looks like it passes through the points (4, -10) and (7,-30).

To find the slope, we divide the difference of the y-coordinates by the difference of the x-coordinates. Here, the difference in the y-coordinates is:

-10 - (-30) = -10 + 30 = 20

The difference in the x-coordinates is:

4 - 7 = -3

So, the slope is:

20/(-3) = -20/3 ≈ -6.67

This is the closest to the first answer choice, -6.5°C/km, so that is the answer.

Daniel buys two apples for every five oranges. If you bought 12 apples, how many oranges dis he buy?
wariber [46]

Answer:

30 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

2 apples : 5 oranges

12 apples : 30 oranges

because 12 apples is 6 times the original ratio, so we multiply the 5 oranges by 6 too.

8.

2 terms on left side, 3 on right side

9.

All variables count as coefficients,  so they’d be 8m, k, and -16k

10.

The constants are just numbers on their own, or without a variable next to it. Here it’d be 10 and -4
