<h2>Answer:</h2>

All you need to do is use the slope formula: y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁.

$\frac{-15 - (-25)}{10 - 5}\\\\\frac{10}{5} = 2$

Always simplify the fraction!

Dave won a hot dog eating contest by eating 18 hot dogs in 10 minutes. He ate two more than twice the amount of the runner-up. W

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The correct anser is option

B. 2x + 2 = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hot dogs eaten by the runner up be represented by x

If Dave ate 2 more than twice x, this means that the number eaten by him = 2x + 2

Since the total number of hot dogs eaten by Dave is 18

Therefore, the equation will be

2x + 2 = 18

So the number of hot dogs eaten by the runner-up is determined by solving for x

2x= 18-2

2× = 16

x = 16/2

x = 8

The runner up are 8

While Dave are

2×8 + 2 = 18.

What is the area of a triangle whose side is 17 meters long

Lunna [17]

Answer:

125.141

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that this is an equilateral triangle, I am going to divide this triangle in half to get a right triangle.

17 is our hypotenuse

17/2 = 8.5, this is one of our legs

The other leg is our height, which we will find.

We use Pythagoras Theorem to find the height/leg: $a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$

$17^{2} -8.5^{2} = 216.75$

$\sqrt{216.75}$ = 14.72243186

Now, we use another formula to find the area of the triangle: $\frac{Base*Height}{2}$

14.72243186 × 17 = 250.2813416

250.2813416 ÷ 2 = <u>125.1406708</u>

HELP ME OUT HERE! PLS TELL ME HOW U GOT THE ANSWER TOO!

IgorC [24]

Answer: Choice C

$\begin{array}{|c|c|} \cline{1-2}x & y\\\cline{1-2}0 & 1\\\cline{1-2}2 & 2\\\cline{1-2}4 & 3\\\cline{1-2}6 & 4\\\cline{1-2}\end{array}$

=========================================================

Explanation:

There are four marked points on the line.

Each point is of the form (x,y)

The first or left most point is (0,1)
The second point is (2,2)
The third is (4,3)
The fourth is (6,4)

Each of these points is then listed in the table format as shown above.

There are infinitely many other points on the line; however, we only select a few of them to make the table (or else we'd be here all day).

Extra side notes:

The slope of this line is m = 1/2 = 0.5
The y intercept is 1 located at (0,1)
The equation of this line is y = 0.5x+1
