What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-2 4) and (8 -1)

Answer: -2-8= -10

4+1 = 5 (the negative switches to a positive)

Your slope equals -10/5. You can look at this in a fraction for when you might use it later in point slope or slope intercept form, or you can just simplify it to -2. It might also be helpful to remember the numerator as the rise and the denominator as run, or “rise over run” if you need to graph it.

Slope = -10/5 or -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope, often referred to as the variable “m” can be found by solving y2-y1/x2-x1. You can do it the opposite way, though make sure the y-values are on the top.

Answer:

-5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

-1-4=-5

8-(-2)=-6

the slope is m=-5/6

m=rise/run=y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

$\huge\text{Answer:}$

$\huge\mathrm{0.2x+0.3}\checkmark$

$\huge\text{Solution:}$

Hi there, hope you are having a great day! :)

<em /> $\bigstar\star\star\sf{What\:is\:the\:Distributive\:Property?}$

The Distributive Property is a property which states that

$\longmapsto\sf{a(b+c)=ab+ac$

Now, let's apply this property:

$\longmapsto\sf{0.1(2x+3)$

$\longmapsto\sf{0.2x+0.3}$ (Answer)

Hope you find it helpful.

Feel free to ask if you have any doubts.

CAN SOMEBODY HELP WITH THIS QUESTION ASAP

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The rectangles are not similar

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to check whether they are similar, we need to take the ratio of their similar sides and ensure they are equal to a constant k.

Hence;

AB/PL = AD/LM = k

32/26 = 18/12 = k

16/13 = 9/6 = k

Since the scale factor is not the same, hence the rectangles are not the same.

The difference between both unit rates rounded off to the nearest tenth is: 0.4 meters per second

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate his unit rate for both type of races

So,

<u>Unit rate for 400m race:</u>

Distance = 400m

Time = 43 sec

$Unit\ rate = U_1= \frac{Distance}{Time}\\=\frac{400}{43}\\=9.30\ meters\ per\ second$

<u>Unit rate for 300m Race:</u>

Distance = 300m

Time = 31 sec

$Unit\ Rate= U_2=\frac{300}{31}\\=9.68\ meters\ per\ second$

The difference between both unit rates is:

$U_2-U_1 = 9.68-9.30\\=0.38 => 0.4\ meters\ per\ sec$

Hence,

The difference between both unit rates rounded off to the nearest tenth is: 0.4 meters per second
