Answer:

-6/5 or -1 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the slope with any 2 points of a line is rise/run, or

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

In this case, y2 is -5, y1 is 1, x1 is -3, and x2 is 2.

So, the slope is:

(-5-1)/(2-(-3))

-6/5 which, as a mixed number, is -1 1/5.

You can also graph out the points on a coordinate plane, draw the line between the points, and count the rise/run, but that might take a minute or two, which is not the best if you have a timed test.

Answer:

- 6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = ( -5-1)/(2- -3)

   = (-5-1)/(2+3)

  - 6/5

50 POINTS!!! jamie will choose between two catering companies for an upcoming party. company A chargers a set-up fee of $500 plu
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

60 guests

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll say that the number of guests is n.

We're looking for the n where both of these expressions are equal:

Company A (500 set-up fee, 25 for each guest)

500 + 25 * n

Company B (200 set-up fee, 30 for each guest)

200 + 30 * n

500 + 25n = 200 + 30n

Subtract 200 from both sides.

300 + 25n = 30n

Subtract 25n from both sides.

300 = 5n

We'll reverse the sides.

5n = 300

Divide both sides by 5.

n = 300/5 = 60

Thus, both companies are equal when n is 60, or when there are 60 guests.

Jeremy subtracted the following rational expressions. His teacher told him that his answer was incorrect. Explain Jeremy's error
kkurt [141]
Since this is a subtraction problem, Jeremy needed to distribute the negative to the terms in the numerator. Jeremy only distributed it to the<span> x</span>2<span>-term, and not to 15. Instead, he kept the 15 positive. When he combined like terms, he got a result of 5 for the constants. The correct result is </span>x<span> + 5.</span>
