Answer:2

Step-by-step explanation:

See to find slope of the straight line with two points given,

1) we have to identify the points (x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) which is (3,7) and (-2 , -3)

2) we have to apply formula for slope which is (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

= (-3 -7)/(-2 -3)

= (-10)/(-5)

= 2

Therefore, option C is correct

Hope it helps!!!

What is the solution to the system of equations? y = A system of equations. Y equals StartFraction 2 over 3 EndFraction x plus 3

Sauron [17]

Answer:

The solution to the given system of equations is (-2, $\frac{5}{3}$ )

Therefore the values of x and y are x=-2 and $y=\frac{5}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations can be written as

$y=\frac{2}{3}x+3\hfill (1)$

$x=-2x+3x=-2\hfill (2)$

Solving equation(2) we get

x=-2

Substitute x=-2 in equation (1) we get

$y=\frac{2}{3}(-2)+3$

$=-\frac{4}{3}+3$

$=\frac{-4+9}{3}$

$=\frac{5}{3}$

Therefore the values of x and y are x=-2 and $y=\frac{5}{3}$

The solution to the given system of equations is (-2, $\frac{5}{3}$ )

One of the giraffes, Bernard, is sick. Last week he weighed 2,490 pounds. This week he weighs 2,312 pounds. If w represents the

victus00 [196]

Answer:

$w+2,312=2,490$

$w=178\ pounds$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

w ----> the amount of weight lost in pounds

we know that

The amount of weight Bernard lost plus the weight of this week must be equal to the weight of the last week

The linear equation that represent this situation is

$w+2,312=2,490$

solve for w

subtract 2,312 both sides

$w=2,490- 2,312=178\ pounds$

Answer:

Step 1: Distribute $-2$ to $5x$ and $8$

Step 2: Subtract from both sides of the equation $6x$

Step 3: Add to both sides of the equation $16$

Step 4: Divide both sides of the equation by $-16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Apply the Distributive Property. Then you must distribute $-2$ to $5x$ and $8$

Then:

$-2(5x+8)=14+6x\\\\-10x-16=14+6x$

Step 2: You must apply the Subtraction property of Equality and subtract $6x$ from both sides of the equation. Then:

$-10x-16-6x=14+6x-6x\\\\-16x-16=14$

Step 3: You must apply the Addition property of Equality and add $16$ to both sides of the equation. Then:

$-16x-16+16=14+16\\\\-16x=30$

Step 4: You must apply the Division property of Equality and divide both sides by $-16$ . Then:

$\frac{-16x}{-16}=\frac{30}{-16}\\\\x=\frac{30}{-16}\\\\x=-\frac{15}{8}$
