Answer:
c) 6x - 5y = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-intercept form of a linear equation: 
(where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept)
Maria's line: 
Therefore, the slope of Maria's line is 
If two lines are perpendicular to each other, the product of their slopes will be -1.
Therefore, the slope of Nate's line (m) is:
Therefore, the linear equation of Nate's line is:
Rearranging this to standard form:
Therefore, <u>option c</u> could be an equation for Nate's line.
Let's solve the equation:
9x+27 = 9(x+2)+9 ← Distribute 9 to the x and 2
9x+27 = 9x+18+9 ← Combine like terms
9x+27 = 9x + 27 ← Subtract 27 from both sides
9x = 9x
Infinitely many solutions would be correct because no matter what x is, it will always equal each other the both sides of the equation because it is 9 times x on both sides.
Answer:
5. 1
6. Kari is not correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
5. All like terms can be combined. There will be one term remaining after they are.
___
6. The appropriate factoring is x(x+1). This is not the same as x(2x+1).
In order to show equivalence, you need to show that the expressions produce the same result for as many different values of x as the degree of the expression plus 1. That is, you'd need to show equivalence for <em>3 different values of x</em>, as a minimum for this second-degree expression.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-Amy walks a distance of 7/8 mile
-Tom walks a distance of 4/8 mile.
#We immediately notice that Amy has walked a longer distance than Tom.
We subtract Tom's distance from Amy's to find how much further Amy walked;
Hence, Amy has walked 3/8 miles further than Tom has.
