Answer:

-4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the graph is -4/5. The slope is the change in y over the change in x. The y-value decreases by 4 and the x-value increases by 5. So the slope is -4/5. One visual way to check this is to remember that slopes that are fractions will make the line flatter, while numbers with absolute values greater than 1 make the slope steeper.

A balloon artist creates balloon hats for children at a store’s grand opening. The graph shows the number of balloons the artist

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The phrase that best describes the the line representing the relationship between the number of balloons remaining and the number of hats created is:

Negative slope.
Constant slope.

Decreasing function.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a graph that represents the relationship between the Number of Balloons Hats and the number of balloons remaining.

Clearly from the graph we could that it is a linear function.

Also, the function is a decreasing function since with the increase of one variable that is the number of Balloon hats produced the other variable i.e. Balloons remaining is decreasing.

Also, we can calculate the slope of the line.

as the line is passing through (0,500) and (100,0)

Hence, the slope of line is:

$Slope=\dfrac{0-500}{100-0}\\\\Slope=\dfrac{-500}{100}\\\\Slope=-5$

Hence, the graph has a negative slope.

Also, we know that a slope of a line is always constant.

So, the correct statements are:

Negative slope.

Constant slope.

Decreasing function.

B is the midpoint of AC, AB=5x and BC=2x+9 find AB,BC, and AC

german

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5x = 2x + 9

3x = 9

x = 3

AB= 5(3)= 15

BC= 2(5) + 9= 10 + 9 = 19

AC= 15 + 19 = 34

Myrna is buying a new rug for her living room. What is the area of the rug, in square feet?

likoan [24]

Answer:

The answer is 96 square feet because if you look at the first rectangle (the one on the top left), you should multiply 5 times 6 which equals 30.

Describe and correct the error(s) made in each of the problems below.

ladessa [460]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \frac{1-x}{(5-x)(-x)} =-\frac{x-1 }{ x(x-5)}$

$\displaystyle \frac{5}{s}\times \frac{2}{5} =\frac{2}{s}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Errors in Algebraic Operations </u>

It's usual that students make mistakes when misunderstanding the application of algebra's basic rules. Here we have two of them

When we change the signs of all the terms of a polynomial, the expression must be preceded by a negative sign
When multiplying negative and positive quantities, if the number of negatives is odd, the result is negative. If the number of negatives is even, the result is positive.
Not to confuse product of fractions with the sum of fractions. Rules are quite different

The first expression is

$1-x / (5-x)(-x)=x-1 / x(x-5)$

Let's arrange into format:

$\displaystyle \frac{1-x}{(5-x)(-x)} =\frac{x-1 }{ x(x-5)}$

We can clearly see in all of the factors in the expression the signs were changed correctly, but the result should have been preceeded with a negative sign, because it makes 3 (odd number) negatives, resulting in a negative expression. The correct form is

$\displaystyle \frac{1-x}{(5-x)(-x)} =-\frac{x-1 }{ x(x-5)}$

Now for the second expression

$5/s+2/5=2/s$

Let's arrange into format

$\displaystyle \frac{5}{s}+\frac{2}{5} =\frac{2}{s}$

It's a clear mistake because it was asssumed a product of fractions instead of a SUM of fractions. If the result was correct, then the expression should have been

$\displaystyle \frac{5}{s}\times \frac{2}{5} =\frac{2}{s}$
