Answer:

The slope of the line that is parallel to the given line is $\frac{-7}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slopes and different y-intercepts

The slope of the line who has an equation ax + by = c is m = $\frac{-a}{b}$

Let us use these rules to solve the question

∵ The equation of a given line is 7x + 4y = -16

→ Compare it with the form of the equation above

∴ a = 7 and b = 4

∵ The slope of the line = $\frac{-a}{b}$

∴ The slope of the line = $\frac{-7}{4}$

∵ Parallel lines have the same slope

∴ The slope of the line that is parallel to the given line is $\frac{-7}{4}$

Cting Polynomials: Practice

Colt1911 [192]

The option that's true regarding the sum and difference of the polynomial p(x) and b is B. The sum and difference of p(x) and b are polynomials.

<h3>How to illustrate the information?</h3>

From the information given, it was stated that p(x) is a polynomial and is given as p(=) = a₁ + a₁ + a₂=² + ... + an.

In this case, it should be noted that the sum and difference of p(x) and b are polynomials.

They can't be integers as the function given is represented as a polynomial.

In conclusion, the correct option is B.

2) A government agency produced a study in which they randomly chose 100 students just beginning college to determine what perce

just olya [345]

The answer is B. some of the sample data are missing.

This is because out of the 100 students originally sampled by the government agency, only 88 results were taken.

Additionally, we cannot fully take A. as the answer because a non-response error happens when sampling units are not interviewed maybe because they were unavailable or unwilling. So B. is the safer answer.

A. 2x+y=25; x+y=20
x represents cheese wafers and y represents chocolate wafers.

B. I will choose elimination since there is y and y. I can multiply one equation by -1 to get y and -y, which cancels out.
2x+y=25
-x-y=-20

Add equations
x=5

Plug x in
5+y=20
y=15

Final answer: 5 cheese wafers, 15 chocolate wafers

Find the fifth term in the geometric

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term in the geometric sequence: $a_n=a_1\cdt r^{n-1}$

a₁ = 2 and r = 3

So:

$a_5=a_1\cdot r^4=2\cdot3^4 = 2\cdot81=162$
