Answer:

2.5 inches per year

Step-by-step explanation:

We can deduce the rate of change by obtaining the slope or gradient of thw points given :

Gradient = Rise / Run.

Point A (2, 5) ; point B (4, 10)

x1 = 2 ; y1 = 5 ;x2 = 4 ; y2 = 10

Rise = y2 - y1 = 10 - 5 = 5

Run = x2 - x1 = 4 - 2 = 2

Rate of change = Gradient = 5 /2 = 2.5

Which is 2.5 inches per year

2/3(5x-6)=6 solve for x

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

There's many ways you can begin this, I prefer getting rid of the fraction first.

Multiply both sides by 3/2 (yes, I switched it on purpose)

You get. . .

5x-6 = 9

To isolate the 5x, add 6 to both sides

5x = 15

Divide both sides by 5 and you get . . .

x=3

Find and label -0 on the number line. Explain.<br><br> Does -0 just mean 0?

poizon [28]

The opposite of the number 0 that is -0 on the number line will be equal to 0 itself.

A number line may be defined as a scale consisting of numbers labelled from 0 to 9 which are used to plot or mark different points for various entities. Number line extends from 0 to 9 in the positive side that is usually taken as right-hand side and it extends from 0 to -9 in the negative side that is usually taken as the left-hand side. The numbers on the right-hand side of number line have their opposites on the left-hand side. The opposite of a number x is taken as -x. For example, the opposite of 4 is taken as -4 and 4 lies on right-hand side whereas -4 lies on left-hand side. 0 lies on the center of number line and is taken as the main point. It is neither positive nor negative so the opposite of 0 is 0. The figure of number line is attached.
