Answer:  The correct option is (D) -\dfrac{5}{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the slope of the line that contain the points x(2, -1) and y(0, 4).

We know that

the slope of a line that contain the points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by

m=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}.

Therefore, the slope of the given line will be

m=\dfrac{4-(-1)}{0-2}=\dfrac{4+1}{-2}=-\dfrac{5}{2}.

Thus, the slope of the given line is -\dfrac{5}{2}.

Option (D) is CORRECT.

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(2,-1)(0,4)
slope = (4 - (-1) / (0 - 2) = (4 + 1) / -2 = 5/-2 = -5/2

A 100-point test consists of 2-point questions and 5-point questions . There are a total of 44 questions ont the test . How many
dsp73

Answer:

40 - 2 point questions and 4 - 5 point questions

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this situation, write two equations. One for the number of questions and one for the number of points.

Let x be the number of 2 point questions.

Let y be the number of 5 point questions.

x + y = 44

Now since x are each worth 2 points, the total points is 2x.

And since y are each worth 5 points, the total points is 5y.

So 2x + 5y = 100. Substitute one of the equations into the other to solve for the variables.

x + y = 44 becomes x = 44 - y. Substitute it.

2(44-y) + 5y = 100

88 - 2y + 5y = 100

88 + 3y = 100

3y = 12

y = 4

Substitute y = 4 back into the equation x = 44 - y to find x.

x = 44 - 4

x = 40

AlekseyPX

Answer: 6%

Okay, so this is how we are going to find the Interest rate (Work):

156/5=31.2

31.2 Dollars every year

31.2/520=.06

.06x100= 6% interest rate every year

I hope this helps, Have a great rest of your day. :)
