Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
21 divided by 3 =7 7 per 1/3
7x2=14
The statements that correctly represent the scenario stated are:
B. because losing 8 pounds is represented as -8 and doing this for 3 months would be 3 groups of -8 or 3 x -8
D. because they showed the weight loss as a negative integer and then put those into groups of 4 each using the distributive property)
The error with the other 2 choices is that the negative number is not correctly representing which part of the problem is a decrease. The negative sign is placed on the number of groups of.
The modulus of complex number can be computed with this equation:
|z|=sqrt(Re(z)^2+Im(z)^2)
z = -2-6i
Re(z)=-2, so Re(z)^2=4
Im(z)=-6, so Im(z)^2=36
|z|=sqrt(36+4)=sqrt(40)=6.3
One is a number, one is rally's, but they both are 24
What you want to do here is take this information and plug it into point-slope form. any time you're given a point and a slope, you generally want to plug it into this equation: y - y1 = m(x - x1).
in this equation, m is your slope and (x1, y1) is a given point. plug in your info--slope of -3 and (-5, 2).
y - 2 = -3(x + 5)
that is the equation of your line. however, if you want to graph it, this doesn't really make much sense to you. convert it to slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, by solving for y.
y - 2 = -3(x + 5) ... distribute -3
y - 2 = -3x - 15 ... add 2
y = -3x - 13 is your equation.
to graph this, and any other y = mx + b equation, you want to start with your y-intercept if it's present. your y intercept here is -13, which means the line you wasn't to graph crosses the y-axis at y = -13, or (0, -13). put a point there.
after you've plotted that point, you use your slope to graph more. remember that your slope is "rise over run"--you rise up/go down however many units, you run left/right however many units. if your slope is -3, you want to go down 3 units, then go to the right 1 unit. remember that whole numbers have a 1 beneath them as a fraction. -3/1 is your rise over 1.
