Answer: -20

Step 1: Write an equation

To start off, we will need to write an equation. To do so, we will use the equation for slope, using rise/run. M represents the slope.

M= rise/ run

Step 2: Substitute information

Now that we know the equation, we can substitute information given to us in the question. Let’s start by replacing m with -5, as we are told that this is the slope.

M= rise/ run
-5= rise/ run

Great! Now let’s change the run. The run is said to be 4, so we will put this on the bottom of the fraction, under the rise.

-5= rise/ run
-5= rise/4

Step 3: Solve

Now that we have our final equation, we can solve for the rise. We can do so by getting rise alone on the right side, by undoing the division. Let’s multiply each term by 4, isolating rise in the process.

-5= rise/4
-5 (4)= rise/4 (4)
-20= rise

Step 4: Check your answer

For our rise, we got -20 as an answer. Let’s check if this is correct by getting the original equation, and substituting all of our information.

M= rise/ run
-5= -20/4
-5= -5

This is correct! The rise is -5. Hope this helps! Comment below for more questions.

Sorry mate, I can help with 8.) and 9.)
8.) angle T=180-(21+35)
T=180-56
T=124
Angle V=124
Triangle TUV is an isosceles triangle therefore, it has two equal sides and two equal angles.
9.) Angle WSV=21 degree
Triangle TSV is an isosceles triangle therefore, it has two equal sides and two equal angles.
TSV=21+21=42 degree
Had to run, can’t do rest. Hopefully, this helped a bit. Good luck.

three fourths of a spinach casserole is leftover after Sam has lunch .Jackie and Alicia each take 1/2 of the leftover casserole
scoray [572]
Casserole left over by Sam = 3/4 of the whole

Casserole received by Jackie and Alicie = 1/2 x 3/4 = 3/8 of the whole

Portion eaten by Jackie = 2/3 x 3/8 = 1/4 of the whole

What will 0.16 be as a fraction?
nata0808 [166]

The six is in the hundredths place so we will out the fraction as “over a hundred”, meaning 16/100. But this can be simplified to 4/25 :)

So 4/25 is your answer

Why is a sequence a function and how can you write a rule for a sequence?
statuscvo [17]
Certain sequences (not all) can be defined (expressed) in a "recursive" form. <span>
In a <span>recursive formula, </span>each term is defined as a function of its preceding term(s). <span>
[Each term is found by doing something to the term(s) immediately in front of that term.] </span></span>
A recursive formula designates the starting term,<span><span> a</span>1</span>, and the nth term of the sequence, <span>an</span> , as an expression containing the previous term (the term before it), <span>an-1</span>. 

<span><span>The process of </span>recursion<span> can be thought of as climbing a ladder.
To get to the third rung, you must step on the second rung. Each rung on the ladder depends upon stepping on the rung below it.</span><span>You start on the first rung of the ladder. </span><span>a1</span>
<span>From the first rung, you move to the second rung. </span><span>a<span>2
</span>    a2</span> = <span>a1 + "step up"
</span><span>From the second rung, you move to the third rung. </span><span>a3</span>
<span>    a3 = a2 + "step up"</span>
<span><span>If you are on the<span> n</span>th rung, you must have stepped on the n-1st rung.</span>    <span>an = a<span>n-1</span> + "step up"</span></span></span><span><span>Notation:<span> Recursive forms work with the term(s) immediately in front of the term being examined. The table at the right shows that there are many options as to how this relationship may be expressed in </span>notations.<span>A recursive formula is written with two parts: a statement of the </span>first term<span> along with a statement of the </span>formula relating successive terms.The statements below are all naming the same sequence:</span><span><span>Given TermTerm in front
of Given Term</span><span>a4a3</span><span>ana<span>n-1</span></span><span>a<span>n+1</span><span>an</span></span><span><span>a<span>n+4</span></span><span>a<span>n+3</span></span></span><span><span><span>f </span>(6)</span><span><span>f </span>(5)</span></span><span><span><span>f </span>(n)</span><span><span>f </span>(n-1)</span></span><span><span><span>f </span>(n+1)</span><span><span>f </span>(n)</span></span></span></span>
