Answer:

B(-1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

So remember, the slope is y2-y1/x2/x1. Note that y2 means the second y adn x2 means the second x.

So lets plug in our numbers for the top of our fraction, y2-y1. This is 0- - 2.

You should get postive 2, since -- equals a + so it would be 0+2 equaling 2.

This is your y value of your slope.

Next lets find the x value of the slope.

Lets plug in our numbers for the bottem raction this time, which is x2-x1. This is 1-5.

You should get negative 4, since 1-5 equals -4.

This is the x value of the slope.

Knowing your y and x value of the slope, we can tell that the slope will be:

2/-4

This can be simplyfied to -1/2. Since 2 goes into 2, 1 time(for y). Then 2 goes into -4, -2 times(for x). So now its 1/-2.

The negative sign can just be moved to the front since it is the only negative and does not change:

Answer:

<u>-1/2</u>

DOES ANYONE UNDERSTAND QUADRATIC APPLICATIONS FOR ALGEBRA 1???? PLS DONT RESOND IF YOU DINT KNOW
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

1 ) Vertex form.

2 ) Standard form.

3 ) I'm not sure about this one, but there are only 3 forms, in which the last one is factored form, and the other two are above, so it must be factored form.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 ) Vertex form : y = a( x - h )² + k

Vertex form shows you where the vertex(the lowest/highest point aka ( h, k ) ) of the parabola is, without graphing it. (But you could graph it and find the vertex like that, I recommend you use desmos graphing)

2 )Standard form : y = ax² + bx + c

Standard form can be used to show the y-intercept( aka c ), in this case, where the snowball was thrown from. (Again, you can graph it and find where he parabola hits the y axis)

3 ) Factored form : ( ax + c )( bx + d )

Factored form tells us the x-intercepts, or in this case where the snowball landed or how long the snowball is in the air. (like i said, you could graph it, and find the points(there could be only one or maybe none in some cases) that are on the x axis)

I know this was four days ago, but I hope this helped you understand a little better.

Oliver drove the first 90 miles of his journey in 1.5 hours and the remaining 120 miles in 3 hours. What was the total average s
laila [671]

Answer:

46 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 90 by 1.5 because:

Average Distance= distance/time

then 120 by 3 for same reason

then u find each

then add 90 with 120 to get 210 then divide by 4.5 to get 46 2/3
