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

Joanna went school supply shopping. She spent $21.45 on notebooks and pencils. Notebooks cost $1.97 each and pencils cost $1.16

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

A) 5 notebooks, 10 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

n = notebook

p = pencil

1.97n + 1.16p = 21.45

A)✅

1.97(5) + 1.16(10) = 21.45

9.85 + 11.6 = 21.45

21.45 = 21.45

B) ❌

1.97(3) + 1.16(12) = 21.45

5.91 + 13.92 = 21.45

19.83 = 21.45

What is the simplified form of the following expression? Assume x greater-than-or-equal-to 0 and y greater-than-or-equal-to 0 2

To solve such questions we need to know more about expression.

<h2 /><h2>Expression </h2>

In mathematics, an expression is defined as a set of numbers, variables, and mathematical operations that are formed according to rules which are dependent on the context.

<h2 /><h2 /><h2>Given to us,</h2>

$2\sqrt[4]{16x}-2\sqrt[4]{2y}+3\sqrt[4]{81x}-4\sqrt[4]{32y}+5\sqrt[4]{x}-4\sqrt[4]{32y}+5\sqrt[4]{x}-16\sqrt[4]{2y}+13\sqrt[4]{4}-10\sqrt[4]{2y}+35\sqrt[4]{x}-18\sqrt[4]{2y}$

rearranging we get,

$=2\sqrt[4]{16x}+3\sqrt[4]{81x}+5\sqrt[4]{x}+5\sqrt[4]{x}+13\sqrt[4]{4}+35\sqrt[4]{x}-2\sqrt[4]{2y}-4\sqrt[4]{32y}-4\sqrt[4]{32y}-16\sqrt[4]{2y}-10\sqrt[4]{2y}-18\sqrt[4]{2y}$

we know that,

$\sqrt[4]{81}=3\\\sqrt[4]{16}=2\\\sqrt[4]{32}=2\sqrt[4]{2}\\$

therefore,

$=4\sqrt[4]{x}+9\sqrt[4]{x}+5\sqrt[4]{x}+5\sqrt[4]{x}+13\sqrt[4]{x}+35\sqrt[4]{x}-2\sqrt[4]{2y}-8\sqrt[4]{2y}-8\sqrt[4]{2y}-16\sqrt[4]{2y}-10\sqrt[4]{2y}-18\sqrt[4]{2y}$
