Answer:
Decreasing, negative slope
Step-by-step explanation:
Bc the slope is -2x in this equation therefore its a negative slope.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Common Factors</u>
An algebraic expression that is formed by sums or subtractions of terms can be factored provided there are numeric or variable common factors in all the terms.
The following expression

Can be factored in the constants and in the variable x.
1. To find the common factor of the variable, we must locate if the variable is present in all terms. If so, we take the common factor as the variable with an exponent which is the lowest of all the exponents found throughout the different terms. In this case, the lowest exponent is x (exponent 1).
2. To find the common factors of the constants, we take all the coefficients:
12 - 20 - 32
and find the greatest common divisor of them, i.e. the greatest number all the given numbers can be divided by. This number is 4, since 12/4=3, 20/4=5 and 32/4=8
3. The factored expression is


Answer:
Brooke
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this by figuring out how far each person runs a second
Stephanie runs 12 feet a second so nothing needs to be done here
Liz runs 306 feet in 38 seconds. To solve for the distance ran in 1 second we can divide (306/38)= around 8 feet
Will runes 1 mile in 491 seconds. A quick search will tell use that 1 mile is equal to 5280 feet and 5280/491 = 10.75
Brooke runs 851 feet in 1 minute or 60 seconds. 851/60 =14.18
Brooke obviously runs the furthest in one second and therefore she's the fastest runner
An=A1+(n-1)d
-20=A1+(15-1)x-7
-20=A1+14 x -7
-20=A1-98
+98 +98
-98+98=0
-20+98=78
A1=78
