Is the second paragraph meant to throw you off??? Because the answer to the question does not rely on the information based from the second paragraph...
Anyway, we know that the turtle started from (0, 0) and moved to (10, 8). Let's assume that (0, 0) is (x1, y1), and that (10, 8) is (x2, y2) for the sake of calculations.
To find how far the turtle moved to the right (along the x-axis) we take x1 from x2:
x2 - x1 = 10 - 0
= 10 = x2
***this is the "run"
To find how far the turtle moved upwards (along the y-axis) we take y1 from y2:
y2 - y1 = 8 - 0
= 8 = y2
***this is the "rise"
Notice that when something moves away from the origin the distance it traveled along the x-axis and y-axis is the same as its final position (or coordinates to where it traveled to).
Therefore, the,
slope = rise / run
= x2 / y2
= 10 / 8
= 5 / 4 (preferable for use)
= 1.25
Answer:
B. 455
Step-by-step explanation:
The order in which the toppings are chosen is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.
Combinations formula:
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
In this question:
3 toppings from a set of 15. So
455 3-topping sundaes can be made.
10-25x=5
subtract 10 from both sides so 5-10 is -5
so now your left with -25x=-5 then divdie -25x by -5 and rememeber -5 divided by a negative is a positive and positive divided by a posivte is a positive and negavite divided by a positive is negavtive or positive divided by a negative is a negative
so when you divide -25x by -5 you get 5 so your answer is x=-5
