Find the slope of a line given the following two points: (-1, 3) and (5, -2).

1 answer:

3 0

Your answer is B) -5/6.

We can find this using the formula (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) and substitute in the coordinates:

(-2 - 3)/(5 - -1) = -5/6

I hope this helps!

The Point-Slope Equation: Pt 2

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

y = -1/3x - 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is the ratio of vertical distance to horizontal distance between the points. Since the line has to cross through the point (-5,0), count out the slope -1/3 by moving down 1 unit and to the right 3 units. This places the line between -1 and -2 on the y-axis. Looking at the options listed for b in y = mx + b. b = -5/3 is the best option and is between -1 and -2.

Y=x^2-2x-19 y+4x=5 solution set system of equation is (-6,29) and ______.

Blababa [14]

Hello :
Y=x²-2x-19 ...(1)
y+4x=5.....(2)
by (2) : y = 5-4x ....(*)
subsct in (1) : 5-4x=x²-2x-19
x²+2x-24 =0
Δ = 2²-4(1)(-24) = 100=10²
x1 = (-2-10)/2 =-6
x2= (-2+10)/2=4
if : x =-6 by(*) : y= 5-4(-6)=29
if x= 4 y = 5-4(4)=-11
solution set system of equation is (-6,29) and (4,-11)______.

Students in a school were asked to collect old bottles as part of a recycling drive. Some of the data recorded at the drive is s

Basile [38]

Answer:

The number of students who collected exactly 9 bottles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given histogram shows the number of students who participated in the recyling drive & their old bottle waste collection.

We can find out the total number of students who participated just by looking at the histogram (students = 10), the number of students who colected bottles below 7 or 3 bottles etc.

But since the number of bottles is given in the form of grouped data, one cannot infer the exact number of bottles collected by students.

Hence, out of the given statements, 'The number of students who collected exactly 9 bottles' is the incorrect one.
