Answer:

a.the slope of the line is 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

if two points of a line are known(P1 and P2), it is possible to find the slope of the line, the slope of a line is given by:

$slope=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\$

$P1=(x_{1} ,y_{1}) \\P2=(x_{2} ,y_{2})$

Step 1

define

$P1=(84,80) , x_{1}=84 ,y_{1}=80\\P2=(74,65) , x_{2}=74 ,y_{2}=65$

Step 2

put the values into the equation

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\m=\frac{65-80 }{74-84}\\m=\frac{-15}{-10}\\ m=\frac{15}{10}=\frac{3}{2}=1.5$

the slope=1.5

I hope it helps, have a great day

Solve for q. a=qb+r What is q equal to? q=a−r−b q=a−r/b q=a/b −r q=a/rb

Mademuasel [1]

The given equation is $a=qb+r$

We need to solve the equation for q.

Value of q:

The value of q can be determined by solving the equation $a=qb+r$ for q.

Thus, subtracting both sides of the equation by r, we get;

$a-r=qb$

Now, dividing both sides of the equation by b, we have;

$\frac{a-r}{b}=\frac{qb}{b}$

Simplifying the terms, we get;

$\frac{a-r}{b}=q$

Therefore, the value of q is $q=\frac{a-r}{b}$

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

Claire traveled 701 miles. She drove 80 miles every day. On the last day of her trip she only drove 61 miles. Write and solve an

mina [271]

Answer:

Claire traveled for 9 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total Distance traveled = 701 miles

Distance traveled each day = 80 miles

Distance traveled on last day = 61 miles

We need to find the number of days Claire traveled.

Solution:

Let the number of days Claire traveled be denoted by 'd'.

Now we can say that;

Total Distance traveled is equal to sum of Distance traveled each day multiplied by number of days and Distance traveled on last day.

framing in equation form we get;

$80d+61=701$

Now Subtracting both side by 61 using Subtraction Property of Equality we get;

$80d+61-61=701-61\\\\80d = 640$

Now Dividing both side by 80 we get;

$\frac{80d}{80}=\frac{640}{80}\\\\d=8$

Hence Claire traveled 80 miles in 8 days and 61 miles on last day making of total 9 days of travel.
