What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (7,-9) and (15, -29)?
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

-2.5

I got -2.5 as slope because slope is equal to rise over run so that means

the equation would turn out as -29+9/15-7=-20/8

-20/8=-2 4/8,-2 1/2,1/2=0.5,so the answer turns into -2.5

Samantha bought 26 total fish. Each goldfish cost $3 and each guppy costs $4. She spent $86 total. How many guppies did she buy?
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

goldfish is 15 and guppies is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the number of goldfish be x

and the number of guppies be y

so

x+y= 25----------1

and

3x+4y= 86-------2

solve 1 and 2

x+y= 25

3x+4y= 86

from 1

x= 25-y

put this in 2

3(25-y)+4y= 86

75-3y+4y= 86

75+y= 86

y= 86-75

y=11

put y= 11 in 1

x+11= 26

x= 26-11

x= 15

Hence goldfish is 15 and guppies is 11

Please simplify the expression.
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

1) 15a - 15c + 3

2) -7n + 31 + 13m + 7p  or  13m - 7n + 7p + 31

3) 44x + 6y + 3

4) 9m - 6n + 23

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Add like terms. 6a + 9a=15a. -8c - 7c=-15c

2. Add like terms. You can rearrange them in descending order based off of exponents and variables.

3. Multiply what's in parentheses first (distribute the 6). It should end up being (6y + 42x). Then you add like terms and put in descending order.

4. Distribute the (-3) to what in the parentheses. It should end up being (-6n + 15 - 3m). Then you add like terms and put the expression in descending order.

Exercise 2.4.2: Proving statements about rational numbers with direct proofs. About Prove each of the following statements using
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Proof: Product of two rational numbers

Using direct proofs.

Let the two rational numbers be A and B.

Such that:

A = \frac{1}{2}

B = \frac{2}{3}

The product:

A * B = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{2}{3}

A * B = \frac{1}{1} * \frac{1}{3}

A * B = 1 * \frac{1}{3}

A * B = \frac{1}{3}

Proved, because 1/3 is rational

(b) Proof: Quotient of a rational number and a non-zero rational number

Using direct proofs.

Let the two rational numbers be A and B.

Such that:

A = \frac{1}{2}

B = \frac{2}{3}

The quotient:

A / B = \frac{1}{2} / \frac{2}{3}

Express as product

A / B = \frac{1}{2} / \frac{3}{2}

A / B = \frac{1*3}{2*2}

A / B = \frac{3}{4}

Proved, because 3/4 is rational

(c) x + y is rational (missing from the question)

Using direct proofs.

Let x and y be

Such that:

x = \frac{1}{2}

y = \frac{2}{3}

The sum:

x + y = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{3}

Take LCM

x + y = \frac{3+4}{6}

x + y = \frac{7}{6}

Proved, because 7/6 is rational

<em>The above proof works for all values of A, B, x and y; as long as they are rational values</em>
