Answer:
you have to add them together
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey sweetie!
We are given two points: (-7, 9) & (5, 5)
And we are asked to find the slope
To do this only given two points use the Slope-Formula to solve for the slope
m = slope
m = y2-y1/x2-x1
m = 5-9/5–7
m = -4/12
m = - 1/3
The slope will be - 1/3
Final Answer: m = - 1/3
Answer:
It was difficult reading the question, as written. Check my assumptions.
Step-by-step explanation:
"five more than the product of two and a number,
decreased by seven"
---
Let the "number" be a.
We are told "five more than . ." means +5,
"the product of two and a number" means 2a,
"decreased by seven" mean -7
Put the statements together to obtain:
+5+2a-7
Simplify to 2a-2
Evaluate when a = 8:
2a-2
2(8)-2
16-2
= 14
