Answer:
Option B, -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The slope is change in y over change in x.</u>
<u />
<em>Since this line is facing downward, we already know that the slope is negative.</em>
<em />
<u>To find the ratio, find the change in y and divide the change in x.</u>
<em>Change in y = -1</em>
<em>Change in x = 2</em>
<em />
<u>Change in y over change in x:</u> <em>-1/2</em>
Answer: Option B, -1/2
87. Juanita started with 40 dollars in her pocket.
Then she bought one CD for 7.99 dollars and 1 DVD for 8.99 dollars.
It has a sales tax of 7% on these items.
Plus she bought a lunch for 4.25 dollars including tax
Solve:
=> 7.99 dollars + 8.99 dollars = 16.98 dollars
=> 16.98 dollars * .07 = 1.2 dollars
=> 16.98 + 1.2 = 18.18 dollars
Plus the lunch
=> 18.18 + 4.25 = 22.43 dollars
=> 40 – 22.43 = 17.57 dollars

The expression 15t – 2t not equivalent to 2t – 15t because the negative sign in 15t – 2t belongs to the term 2t.
Solution:
Given expressions are 15t – 2t and 2t – 15t.
To determine 15t – 2t is equivalent to 2t – 15t or not.
Substitute t = 2 in above two expressions.
15t – 2t = 15(2) – 2(2)
= 30 – 4
= 26
2t – 15t = 2(2) – 15(2)
= 4 – 30
= –26
The values of the expressions are different when t = 2.
So, 15t – 2t is not equivalent to 2t – 15t.
Hence the expression 15t – 2t not equivalent to 2t – 15t because the negative sign in 15t – 2t belongs to the term 2t.
