Hello!

To find the slope of a line, we use the formula y2-y1/x2-x1.

Each ordered pair can either represent the 1,s or the 2,s and the slope will be the same. For our example, lets have (-1,-17) represent (x1,y1) and (-4.-2) represent (x2,y2).

We will plug these values into the equation.

-2+17/-4+1
15/-3
-5

The slope of the line is -5, but let's check our answer by switching the 1's and 2's.

-17+2/-1+4
-15/3
-5

The slope of the line is -5.

I hope this helped you!

Kylie and Ethan have each saved some money. I’m their savings, each coin is worth leas then 50 cents and each bill is less then

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Kylie could have a $5 bill and seven quarters while Ethan could have two $1 bills and forty pennies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Kylie has seven quarters, that is seven multiplied by the value of the quarter, a quarter is 25 cents. So 7 x 25 = 125 OR $1 and 25 cents. Leaving Kylie with a total of $7 and 25 cents with the addition of the $5 bill.

Ethan has two $1 bills and forty pennies, forty multiplied by the value of the penny, a penny is 1 cent. So 40 x 1 = 40 OR 40 cents. Leaving Ethan with $2 and 40 cents with the addition of the two $1 bills from earlier.

Ethan has more bills and coins than Kylie and yet still has less money than Kylie.

Find two consecutive even integers such that twice the smaller is 16 more than the larger

drek231 [11]

Define x:
Let one of the numbers be x.
The other number is x + 2

Construct equation:
twice the smaller is 16 more than the larger
⇒2x = x + 2 - 16

Solve x:
2x = x + 2 - 16
x = -14

Find the two numbers:
Smaller number = x = -14
Larger number = x + 2 = -12

Answer: The two numbers are -14 and -12
