Answer:

The slope of the line = m = -9/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

  • (-2, 4)
  • (3, -5)  

Determining the slope between (-2, 4) and (3, -5)

(x₁, y₁) = (-2, 4)

(x₂, y₂) = (3, -5)

Using the formula

Slope = m =  [y₂ - y₁] /  [x₂ - x₁]  

                 =  [-5 - 4] / [3 - (-2)]

                 = [-9] / [3 + 2]

                 = -9/5

Thus, the slope of the line = m = -9/5

Solve the equation for x, where x is a real number (5 points): <br> -2x^2 + 5x - 10 = 3
KatRina [158]
Subtract 3 from both sides so that the equation becomes -2x^2 + 5x - 13 = 0.
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
                                      x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
                                      x = [ -5 ± √((5)^2 - 4(-2)(-13)) ] / ( 2(-2) )
                                      x = [-5 ± √(25 - (104) ) ] / ( -4 )
                                      x = [-5 ± √(-79) ] / ( -4)
Since √-79 is nonreal, the answer to this question is that there are no real solutions.

A new crew of painters can paint a small apartment in 12 hours. an experienced crew can paint the small apartment in 6 hours. ho
Yakvenalex [24]
This is the concept of proportionality, we are required to calculate for the number of hours two crews can use to paint the house altogether.
Here proceed as follows;
number of hours new crew can paint=12 hrs
portion of work painted by new crew in 1 hour= 1/12

number of hours experienced crew can paint=6 hours
Portion of work painted by experienced crew in 1 hour=1/6

Portion of work painted by the two crews altogether in 1 hour will be:
1/6+1/12=1/4

thus the total amount of hours that the two painters will take to paint will be:
4 hours

Rebecca and dan are biking in a national park for three days they rode 5 3/4 hours the first day and 6 4/5 hours the second day
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Rebecca and Dan need to ride 7\frac{9}{20}\ hrs. on the third day in order to achieve goal of biking.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Goal of Total number of hours of biking in park =20 hours.

Number of hours rode on first day = 5\frac34 \ hrs.

So we will convert mixed fraction into Improper fraction.

Now we can say that;

To Convert mixed fraction into Improper fraction multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator and then add that to the numerator,then write the result on top of the denominator.

5\frac34 \ hrs. can be Rewritten as \frac{23}{4}\ hrs

Number of hours rode on first day = \frac{23}{4}\ hrs

Also Given:

Number of hours rode on second day = 6\frac45 \ hrs

6\frac45 \ hrs can be Rewritten as \frac{34}{5}\ hrs.

Number of hours rode on second day = \frac{34}{5}\ hrs.

We need to find Number of hours she need to ride on third day in order to achieve the goal.

Solution:

Now we can say that;

Number of hours she need to ride on third day can be calculated by subtracting Number of hours rode on first day and Number of hours rode on second day from the Goal of Total number of hours of biking in park.

framing in equation form we get;

Number of hours she need to ride on third day = 20-\frac{23}{4}-\frac{34}{5}

Now we will use LCM to make the denominators common we get;

Number of hours she need to ride on third day = \frac{20\times20}{20}-\frac{23\times5}{4\times5}-\frac{34\times4}{5\times4}= \frac{400}{20}-\frac{115}{20}-\frac{136}{20}

Now denominators are common so we will solve the numerator we get;

Number of hours she need to ride on third day =\frac{400-115-136}{20}=\frac{149}{20}\ hrs \ \ Or \ \ 7\frac{9}{20}\ hrs.

Hence Rebecca and Dan need to ride 7\frac{9}{20}\ hrs. on the third day in order to achieve goal of biking.
