The first step is to find the slope. Use the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
The two points are (x1,y1) = (-1,5) and (x2,y2) = (2,-1)
So,
x1 = -1
y1 = 5
and
x2 = 2
y2 = -1
will be plugged into the slope formula to get...
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-1-5)/(2-(-1))
m = (-1-5)/(2+1)
m = (-6)/(3)
m = -2
The slope is -2
Use m = -2 and one of the points to find the y intercept b. I'll use the point (x,y) = (-1,5) ---> x = -1, y = 5
y = mx+b ... slope intercept form
5 = -2*(-1)+b
5 = 2+b
5-2 = 2+b-2
3 = b
b = 3
The y intercept is 3
-----------------------------------
m = -2 is the slope
b = 3 is the y intercept
Therefore y = mx+b turns into y = -2x+3 as the equation that goes through the two points
4.85 is the answer because if you subtract 51.2 from 56.05 you get your answer
Answer:
5 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
15 divided by 3
12+6=18 18+18=36 total coins.
12 quarters:36 coins.
To simplify divide each side by 12.
12/12=1 36/12=3
The simplified ratio is 1:3.
Therefore the answer is B.
Hope this helps! (:
Answer: no; A 1 X 5 rectangle has a perimeter of 12 units and does not have an area of 6 units, so a counterexample shows that your friends statement is not correct
