Answer:

Line p will have a slope of 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of line k is

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

= ( 9 -15)/(-4 -8)

= -6/-12

= 1/2

If the lines are parallel, they have the same slope

Line p will have a slope of 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope of a line through the formula

$\frac{y1 - y2}{x1-x2}$

Where x1 and y1 are the coordinates of the first point, and x2 and y2 are the coordinates of the second point.

So we substitute the values we are given into this formula:

$\frac{15-9}{8-(-4)}$

and simplify:

$\frac{6}{12}$

and simplify again:

$\frac{1}{2}$

And so the slope of line k is 1/2x. Since line p is parallel to line k, the slope of line p is also 1/2x.

What is the value of x if e^3x+6 = 8?

topjm [15]

We can write any number n in the form $e^{\ln(n)}$ , since $e^x$ and $\ln(x)$ are inverse functions, so that

$e^{3x+6} = 8 \iff e^{3x+6} = e^{\ln(8)}$

The bases are the same on both sides, so the exponents must be equal.

$3x + 6 = \ln(8)$

Solve for x :

$3x = \ln(8) - 6$

$x = \boxed{\dfrac{\ln(8) - 6}3}$

Each week, Alfonso earns $85 for every shift he works at the theater and $15 for every dog-walking job. He uses the expression 8

slava [35]

Answer:

Part A: x= number of shifts he works at the theater y= number of dog-walking jobs.

Part B: The only terms are 85x and 15y.

Part C: 15y

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: The variables are the xy reasoning to this is due to them being the replacements of the numbers which aren't known.

Part B: The terms are pieces of the expression which are together.

Part C: It is the one used above for the dogs " $15 for every dog-walking job."
