Answer:

The slope is equal to $\frac{2}{3}$ . So the right answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that if we are given to points of a function we can find out its slope by using the following formula....

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

Where m is the slope, $x_{1}$ and $y_{1}$ are the coordinates of the first point, $x_{2}$ and $y_{2}$ are coordinates of the second point.

Let (-4, 2) be $(x_{1} , y_{1})$

Let (-16, - 6) be $(x_{2}, y_{2} )$

then......

Answer:

y = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

$30=\frac{6}{5} y\\\\\frac{6}{5} y=30\\\\(\frac{6}{5} y)5=30*5\\\\6y=150\\\\\frac{6y=150}{6}\\\\\boxed{y=25}$

Hope this helps!

Would a teaspoon be a good way to measure the capacity of a milk carton

Natali [406]

No, a teaspoon is too small to measure the capacity of a milk carton. You would use a quart to measure the capacity of a gallon.

Hope this helps :)

What is the area of this figure? Enter your answer in the box.

Basile [38]

Luckily for us, the diagram already divided this figure into separate polygons. What I will be explaining is basically the addition of the areas of all the separate polygons. The area of the uppermost triangle is:

1/2 x b x h
= 1/2 x 20 x 8
(the base is 20, because in a parallelogram, opposite sides are congruent)
=10 x 8
= 80 in. squared

The next polygon we will be taking the area of is the parallelogram with the base length of 20 and the height of 16.

Area = b x h
= 20 x 16
= 320 in. squared

Now all we have left to do is add the two areas to obtain the total area.

Total Area = 320 + 80 = 400 in. squared

A radio transmission tower is 170 feet tall. how long should a guy wire be if it is attached 15 feet from the top and is to make

beks73 [17]

The image of the given scenario is attached below.

A right angled triangle is formed, with one angle equal to 27 degrees. The perpendicular side is 155 and we are to find the length of guy wire which makes the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.

Using the formula of sine, we can write:

$sin(27)= \frac{155}{x} \\ \\ 
x= \frac{155}{sin(27)} \\ \\ 
x=341$

Rounding to nearest whole number, the length of the guy wire that must be attached is 341 feet.
