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

Mathematics

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

The tempeture of chicken soup is 192.7 degrees F. As it cools the tempeture of the soup decreases 2.3F per minute.
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer to Part A, we can turn this into a simple equation:

192.7 - (2.3 times 25) = <em>temperature, </em>the missing value.

So therefore, after 25 minutes pass, the temperature is equal to

192.7 - 57.5, or:

135.2 = Answer to Part A.

Now, onto Part B. We can use <u>another</u> equation!

192.7 - 2.3x = 100.7

Now, we must solve the given equation, first by taking 100.7 from each side:

192.7 - 2.3x = 100.7

-100.7             -100.7

We are now left with: 92 - 2.3x = 0 - we must now add 2.3x to 2.3x and 0, giving us this:

92 = 2.3x, which is equivalent to 920 = 23x, if that is what you prefer to solve.

To give us our missing value (x), we can divide 920 by 23, giving us: x = 40. This is the answer to Part B: 40 minutes.

I hope this was really helpful! Tell me if you need any more help.

Whats 0 divide 0 i really want to know
Gelneren [198K]

Answer

N/A

Step-by-step explanation:

lets take a step into our imaginations, ok?

So when you divide, you're basically splitting the numerator into as many parts as the denominator.

imagine you have a chocolate bar, and it has 6 pieces and you want to split it evenly between your 3 friends.

you split it into three equal parts to get 2 pieces per person.

When you divide 0 by 0, your splitting 0 chocolate bars into 0 equal portions, which is why this problem isn't solvable.

Find two positive consecutive integers such that the square of the first added to three times the second is 24
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

3 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two consecutive odd integers be x and x + 2.

Now,

The given statement is

x^2 + 3 \times (x+2)=24\\x^2 + 3x+6-24 = 0 \\x^2 + 3x-18 = 0\\x^2+6x-3x-18=0\\x(x+6)-3(x+6)=0\\(x-3)(x+6)=0\\x=3,-6

Taking x=3.

Hence, two consecutive odd integers are 3 and 5.
