Answer:
Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848) This treaty, signed on February 2, 1848, ended the war between the United States and Mexico. By its terms, Mexico ceded 55 percent of its territory, including parts of present-day Arizona, California, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Nevada, and Utah, to the United States.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
-20, -19
Step-by-step explanation:
The average of the two numbers is -39/2 = -19.5. The smaller number is 0.5 less than this, -20, and the larger number is 0.5 more than -19.5, so is -19.

<em>Comment on the problem and solution</em>
I find that working consecutive integer problems is often simplified by working with the average value of those integers:
- the average of two consecutive odd integers is the even integer between them
- the average of two consecutive even integers is the odd integer between them
- the average of an odd number of integers of the same type (consecutive, consecutive odd, consecutive even) is the middle one
- The average of an even number of consecutive integers is the "half" number between the middle two (as in this problem).
A counterexample is a statement that simply disproves another statement.
You could disprove "when it rains, it pours" by saying "sometimes when it rains, the rain is light."
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is rise over run or the change in y over change in x. So to find the slope count the difference from one point to the next, for example (0,4) and (1,1). In this case, the y-value decreases by 3, so -3, and the x-value increases by 1, so +1. Which would be -3/1 or just -3. One way to visually check is to remember that slopes less than -1 or greater than 1 make the line steeper and negative slopes make the graph decrease from left to right.
