17x(1-2y)
17x-34xy
because both expressions have a x, it would be easier to factor out the x first. but because 17 is a factor of 34 you can simply divide 34 by 17 and get 2. so you put it together to this,
17x(1-2y)
Because, 17x times 1 is 17x but 17x times -2y would be -32xy.
To solve this problem, let us say that:
money invested in stock A = A
money invested in stock B = B
money invested in stock C = C
The given problem states that:
C = A * (1 / 4) = 0.25 A
B = A * (1 / 2) = 0.50 A
It was stated that we only have $16,000 to invest.
Therefore:
A + B + C = 16,000
Substituting values of C and B in terms of A:
A + 0.50 A + 0.25 A = 16,000
1.75 A = 16,000
A = $9,142.86
So C and B is:
C = 0.25 (9142.86)
C = $2285.71
B = 0.50 (9142.86)
B = $4571.43
It would be (all under a big square root) (-7-5)squared + (3+2) squared. This equals to about root 169
Every point on this line has the same y coordinate, which is -2. There is no "rise" at all so rise = 0 while the "run" is any nonzero value you want. If you made the run be say 2, then
slope = rise/run = 0/2 = 0
The slope is 0
Answer: D) 0
note: all horizontal lines like this have a slope of 0. It doesn't matter what the y intercept is
