Answer:

D) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is used to describe the average rate of change. Often referred to as the (\frac{rise}{run}), the general formula to find the slope of a line is the following,

\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Where (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) are both points on the line. One is given that the following points are on the line,

(-1, -5)\\\\(6, 9)

Substitutes these values into the formula and solve for the slope,

\frac{9-(-5)}{6-(-1)}

Simplify, remember negative times negative equals positive,

\frac{9+5}{6+1}

Combine like terms,

\frac{14}{7}

Simplify further, remember a fraction is another way of representing division,

twice a number plus another number is 310. The difference between the two numbers is 55. What are the two numbers
Masteriza [31]
T us assume the two numbers to be "x" and "y".
Then
2x + y = 310
And
x - y = 55
Let us take the second equation and find the value of x in relation to y.
x - y = 55
x = y + 55
Now let us put the value of x in the first equation, we get
2x + y = 310
2(y + 55) + y = 310
2y + 110 + y = 310
3y = 310 - 110
3y = 200
y = 200/3
   = 66 2/3
Now putting the value of y in the second equation, we get
x - y = 55
x - (200/3) = 55
3x - 200 = 55 * 3
3x = 165 + 200
x = 365/3
   = 121 2/3
So the value of x is 121 2/3 and the value of y is 66 2/3
