let x = the distance from Delany's house to the mall
so half the distance would be 1/2x
then it is 5 miles less than that so you would subtract 5 to give you 1/2x-5
and that is more than 6 miles so you get 1/2x-5>6
<span>-2x^2-x+7=0
Variable with the highest degree's (exponent) constant, -2 is a, next variable's constant, -1 is b, the constant or number without a variable, 7 is c
using substitution put the numbers into the formula
</span>(-b±√(b^(2)-4ac))/(a^(2))
(-(-1)±√((-1)^(2)-4(-2)(7))/((-2)^(2)) simplify
(1±√(1+56))/4
1±√(57)/4 is your answer
Second one ...... i hope it’s right
Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Method 1.</em>
slope = rise/run
Rise is vertical distance.
Run is horizontal distance.
Find two points that are easy to read (on grid intersections):
(2, -1) and (5, 0).
Start at (2, 1). You need to go to (5, 0) by moving only vertically and horizontally. Go up 1 unit. That is a rise of 1. Now go right 3 units. That is a run of 3.
rise = 1
run = 3
slope = rise/run = 1/3
<em>Method 2.</em>
Use the slope formula and two points on the line.

Use points (2, -1) and (5, 0).



slope = 1/3
