Answer:

m=-9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

The formula for the slope (m) calculated from two points is given as (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are points

we are given the two points (2,10) and (10,-8)

to avoid any confusion, let's label the values of the points

x1=2

y1=10

x2=10

y2=-8

now substitute into the formula:

m=(-8-10)/(10-2)

subtract

m=(-18)/(8)

simplify (reduce to lowest terms)

<u>m=-9/4 </u>

Hope this helps!

The slope formula is the changes of two y-values over/to the changes of two x-values.

\large \boxed{m =  \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} }

Substitute two given points in the formula to find the slope. The m-term represents the slope from y = mx+b.

\large{m =  \frac{10 - ( - 8)}{2 - 10} } \\  \large{m =  \frac{10 + 8}{ - 8} } \\  \large{ m =  \frac{18} { - 8} \longrightarrow  \frac{9}{ - 4} } \\  \large \boxed{m =  -  \frac{9}{4} }

Answer

  • The slope is -9/4.

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any doubts!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

35% means 35 per hundred. 35/100. simplify and write as 7/20.

0.64 means its 2 zeros left of regular number. 64/100.

82% means 82 per hundred. 82/100. move decimal 2 spaces to left (division is left, multiplication is right). 0.82.

4/5. try to make denominator 100. multiply both numerator and denominator by 20. 80/100. move decimal 2 spaces to the left. 0.8.

14/50. try to make denominator 100. multiply both numerator and denominator by 2. 28/100. 28%

0.19 can be written as 19/100. 19%

Wesleys mother is 57 years old. her age is three years more than twice edwins age. what is wesleys age?
natita [175]

Answer: Edwin is likely a typo for Wesley.

Step by step:

Wmom=57

Wmom=3+2e

57=3+2e

54=2e

27=e

Edwin is 27 years old.

Aside from a typo, one can speculate on Wesley's age. He's likely between 20 and 39 years old based on his mother's age. If you want to delve into societal norms, Wesley is likely to be a name from a white middle to upper class parentage, so it's less likely he was had when his mother was a teen, or even in her early twenties because college, so move that age zone to 20 to 34. Then consider that having children later than 35 is consideration for a "risky" pregnancy and most women are urged to aim for before 33, but most upper middle class white women will be pressured to baby before 30. So, adjust Wesley's age zone to 27 to 34. And then...idk. But in all honesty I think Edwin is meant to be Wesley, because it's a math problem not a sociology one.
