Answer:

  no

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

We can use the values ...

  (x1, y1) = (1, -19)

  (x2, y2) = (-2, -7)

Putting these into the formula gives ...

  m = (-7 -(-19))/(-2 -1) = 12/-3 = -4

The slope is -4, not -1/4. Mark is incorrect.

Tina starts her paper route at the corner of two streets. She travels 8 blocks south, 13 blocks west, 8 blocks north, and 6 bloc
suter [353]
If the starting point is (0,0), then she goes to (0, -8), then to (-13, -8), then to (-13, 0), then to (-7, 0).  (-7, 0) is 7 units from the starting point. So, 7 blocks.

Ahmad just put some money into a cd that pays 11.3% interest compounded semiannually according to the rule of 72 in approximatel
lilavasa [31]
The "rule of 72" says that the doubling time in years is approximately 72 divided by the interest rate in percent. To make the money grow by a factor of 4 requires that it double twice, so will take twice as long as the period to double once.
  2×72/11.3 ≈ 12.7 . . . . years

_____
The "rule of 72" is an approximation. The actual quadrupling time for this interest rate and compounding is about 12.6 years. (The actual product of doubling time and nominal interest rate is about 71.25.)
