Answer:

Please check explanations

Step-by-step explanation:

Slopes are generally the ratio of rise(vertical difference) to fall (horizontal difference) for set of points lying on a straight line

Positive slopes show a positive relationship between the two things we are considering while a negative one shows otherwise

They are the same in the sense that they actually represent a constant change between the coordinates of the points in the relationship we are considering.

They are different in the sense that while one represents a positive change, whereby both axes move in the same direction ( rise at same rate, fall at same rate) , the second represent a relationship in which they move in opposite directions. While one falls, the other rises and while the other rises, the second one falls which indicates an opposing movement type between the two

A 2 × 3 rectangle is partitioned into 6 congruent numbered squares as shown. A single 1 × 2 rectangle is placed to cover exactly

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use your mouse or something to cover two of the squares at a time and then make tally marks then you should get 7. I'm not sure if i'm right though, so don't take my answer as the law or something like that.

Three fourths of x increased by 5 is - 7

Finger [1]

Answer:

$x=\frac{8}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3}{4} x+5=7$

Subtract 5 from both sides.

$\frac{3}{4}x+5-5=7-5$

Simplify.

$\frac{3}{4}x=2$

Multiply both sides by 4.

$4*\frac{3}{4} x=2*4$

Simplify.

$3x=8$

Divide both sides by 3.

$\frac{3x}{3} =\frac{8}{3}$

Simplify.

$x=\frac{8}{3}$

Does anyone know the answer? Please help.

Answer:

(0,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer is (0,-2) because -2 is where the line crosses over the y-axis. If we looked at a graph you would see that the line goes over 0 on the X-axis, which causes the line to touch the y-axis and intercept it at the -2 mark.

An easy way to find the answer for these sorts of questions is to draw out a graph and mark the coordinates on it and draw the line conecting them. Once you've done that you can easily see where the line intercepts on both the y and x axis.
