Answer:

slope = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line that passes through a pair of points, use the slope formula, $m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ . Substitute the x and y values of (-7,-2) and (-6,7) into the formula and simplify:

$m = \frac{(7)-(-2)}{(-6)-(-7)} \\m = \frac{7+2}{-6+7} \\m = \frac{9}{1} \\m = 9$

So, the slope is 9.

Help me solve for q! 21 + 3q < 3 (13 - q) How do you solve it? Thank you!

Molodets [167]

Good morning

21 + 3q < 3(13 - q)
21+ 3q < 39 - 3q Here it was -3q and it was on the left side. However when you are switching it to another terms that looks like it you must change the sign as well.
3q + 3q < 39 - 21 Here I bring the common terms together.
6q < 18
Divide both sides by 6
6q/6 < 18/6
q < 3

What is the difference? StartFraction x Over x squared minus 16 EndFraction minus StartFraction 3 Over x minus 4 EndFraction Sta

katovenus [111]

Answer:

The option "StartFraction negative 2 (x + 6) Over (x + 4) (x minus 4) EndFraction" is correct

That is $\frac{-2(x+6)}{(x+4)(x-4)}$
