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

dedylja [7]

Answer:

No, equivalent quarterly rate will be approx 1.75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Chan deposited money into his retirement account that is compounded annually at an interest rate of 7%.

We know that there are 4 quarters in 1 year.

So to find that equivalent quarterly we will divide given yearly rate by number of quarters.

That means divide 7% by 4.

which gives 1.75%.

But that is different than Chan's though of 2% quarterly interest.

Hence Chan is wrong.

In 4 ​minutes, a conveyor belt moves 800 pounds of recyclable aluminum from the delivery truck to a storage area. A smaller belt
kkurt [141]

Answer:

It takes 2 minutes 4 seconds to move the cans to storage area if both the belts are used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - In 4 ​minutes, a conveyor belt moves 800 pounds of recyclable

            aluminum from the delivery truck to a storage area. A smaller belt

            moves the same quantity of cans the same distance in 6 minutes.

To find - If both belts are​ used, find how long it takes to move the cans

              to the storage area.

Proof -

Given that,

Larger belt take 4 minutes to transfer the aluminium from delivery truck to storage area.

⇒ Time taken by Larger belt = 4 min/ shifting

Also,

Smaller belt take 6 minutes to transfer the aluminium from delivery truck to storage area.

⇒ Time taken by Smaller belt = 6 min/ shifting

Now,

As we know that Time is inversely proportional to time, so

Rate of Larger Belt = \frac{1}{4} shifting/min

Rate of Smaller Belt = \frac{1}{6} shifting/min

Now,

Let us assume that , if both belts used then,

Total time taken = x min/shifting

Then, Rate = \frac{1}{x} shifting/min

Now,

\frac{1}{4}  + \frac{1}{6}  = \frac{1}{x}

⇒\frac{6 + 4}{24} = \frac{1}{x}

⇒\frac{10}{24} = \frac{1}{x}

⇒10x = 24

⇒x = \frac{24}{10} = 2.4 minutes

∴ we get

It takes 2 minutes 4 seconds to move the cans to storage area if both the belts are used.
