Answer: The slope of the ant hill is 18/20 or 0.9.

For the slope, we need to put the vertical change over the horizontal change. In this case, the vertical change of the ant hill is 18.

Now for the horizontal change, the entire base is 40. However, we only need half of that because we need the distance from the outside to the middle where the height is. Half of 40 is 20.

Therefore, the slope is up 18 over 20. Or 18/20 = 0.9.

Answer: 18 over 20 or 0.9

Step-by-step explanation: You know that 18 is the height and 40 is the base, so put 18 over 40. Since you only need to know the base from the end to the middle, you need half which is 20. Thus, the answer is 18 over 40.

The bag will often contain all three items every 70 bags ⇒ answer C

Step-by-step explanation:

At a display booth at an amusement park, every visitor gets a gift bag

according to these information:

1. Hat Every 2nd visitor

2. T-shirt Every 7th visitor

3. Backpack Every 10th visitor

We need to know how often a bag will contain all three items

To solve this problem you must find a number divisible by 2, 7, and 10

To find that number start with the multiples of the largest one and

check them with the other two numbers

∵ The largest number is 10

∵ The multiples of 10 are 10 , 20 , 30 , 40 , 50 , 60 , 70 , 80 , .......

- Look for the first multiple of 10 is divisible by 7

∵ 70 is the first multiple of 10 divisible by 7

∵ 70 is divisible by 2 because its even number

∴ 70 is the smallest number divisible by 2, 7 and 10

The bag will often contain all three items every 70 bags

It sucks that points have to be used in order to post questions. 

Openstudy - the company that merged into Brainly -  was much better.

Anyway, I think that the answer to this question is A. I'm not sure, though.

the slope of the line below is -5. which of the following is the point slope of the line? y intercept = (2, -8)
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept cannot be (2,-8). The x-coordinate of the y-intercept is 0.

Point-slope equation for line of slope -5 that passes through (2,-8):

y+8 = -5(x-2)
