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.

Is the square root of -11.2 a rational number?
Schach [20]
No, it is an imaginary number.
Can't take the square root of a negative number without creating a method termed an imaginary number, which is the square root of -1 which they have used " i " to signify.
Then square root of -11.2 would be written Sqrt(11.2)i.  The Sqrt(11.2) = 3.3466
so the answer is 3.3466i

Many has 48 feet of wood he wants to use all of it to create a border around a garden. The equation 2l+2w=48 can be used to find
lord [1]
2L + 2W = 48 

L= 15 feet

substitute the given value to the formula provided.

2(15) + 2W = 48

multiply 2 by 15

30 + 2W = 48

use the subtraction property of equality to cancel the value 30 on the left side. 

30 - 30 + 2W = 48 - 30

cancel 30 on the left side leaving 2W while subtract 30 from 48.

2W = 18

divide both sides to get the value of the width.

2W/2 = 18/2

W = 9ft     this is the final answer.
