Answer:

let the number = x

two more than the number = ( x + 2 )  

product of the number and ⅞ = ⅞x

if you add 15 to ( x + 2 ) the result will ⅞x

( x + 2 ) + 15 = ⅞x

8x + 16 +  120 = 7x

x = -136

Help with math please.
lys-0071 [83]
Hello,

The rate of change is the slope (rise/run, y/x). To find that, we use the equation (y2-y1) over (x2-x1). It means take the second "y" and subtract it from the first "y" and the same to "x". If I plug in the numbers, it would be (3-6) over (5-4), and after you subtract, the answer simplifies to: -3/ 1 which is -3. Yay! We got the slope (rate of change) done.

Now let's find the y-intercept by using the formula of point-slope form, 
y-y1= m (slope) (x-x1). This is saying you "y" is subtracted from the first 
"y" of the points which equals the slope (m) times the quantity of "x" subtracted by the first "x" of the points. 

Let's plug the numbers in: y-6 = -3 (x-4). Let's distribute -3 to the parenthesis, and after that it should simplify to: y-6 = -3x + 12. To get "y" by itself, add 6 to both sides: y = -3x +18. We have finally found the slope-intercept equation for those two points (4,6) and (5,3). To then find the y-intercept in this equation, it would be the 18, because -3 is the slope, so that makes 18 the y-intercept.

In conclusion, the rate of change is -3 and the y-intercept is 18. 

I hope this helps!

Someone help with this question ?????? Hi
8090 [49]
ANSWER

The second statement is the contrapositive of the first.

EXPLANATION

If we have the conditional statement,

x\Rightarrow \: y

Then the converse of this statement is
y\Rightarrow \: x

The inverse of this statement is
\neg \: x\Rightarrow \neg \: y

and the contrapositive of this statement is
\neg \: y\Rightarrow \neg \: x

The correct answer is C.
