Answer:
2880
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of people affected by flu during the 2nd and 3rd week of January, 1200 + 1680 = 2880
The slope of the line is 2. Why? Well, see below for an explanation!
The slope of a line is found by using the formula rise/run (rise over run). This means that by starting at the initial value of the y-intercept, 3, we would count how many units away we are from the next complete point. We do so by counting from left to right, and in this case, going up and then to the right. To get from the point (0, 3) to the point (1, 5), we would move two spaces vertically along the y-axis and one space horizontally along the x-axis. Because the slope of the line is found using the formula m = rise over run, the slope would be 2/1 because we went up 2 points and to the right one. When simplifying, we will find that 2 divided by 1 equals 2. Hence, our slope is 2.
Your final answer: The slope of the line is 2/1 or 2. If you need extra help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.

Answer: Choice B</h3>
With matrix subtraction, you simply subtract the corresponding values.
I like to think of it as if you had 2 buses. Each bus is a rectangle array of seats. Each seat would be a box where there's a number inside. Each seat is also labeled in a way so you can find it very quickly (eg: "seat C1" for row C, 1st seat on the very left). The rule is that you can only subtract values that are in the same seat between the two buses.
So in this case, we subtract the first upper left corner values 14 and 15 to get 14-15 = -1. The only answer that has this is choice B. So we can stop here if needed.
If we kept going then the other values would be...
row1,column2: P-R = -33-16 = -49
row1,column3: P-R = 28-(-24) = 52
row2,column1: P-R = 42-25 = 17
row2,column2: P-R = 35-(-30) = 65
row2,column3: P-R = -19-36 = -55
The values in bold correspond to the proper values shown in choice B.
As you can probably guess by now, matrix addition and subtraction is only possible if the two matrices are the same size (same number of rows, same number of columns). The matrices don't have to be square.
