QUESTION A
The given points are
and 
The slope can be found using the formula;

We substitute the point to obtain;

This simplifies to

Therefore the slope is 5.
QUESTION 2
A positive slope indicates a rising line
A negative slope indicates a rising line
A zero slope means the line is horizontal.
An undefined slope means the line is vertical.
The correct answer is
A. The line rises from left to right.
Y is less than or equal to -1
Answer:
4.5 mph or 9/2 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the rate of the current
Formula: Distance = rate x time
where rate upstream =(12-x) and time =2 hours
15=(12-x)(2)
15=24–2x
2x=24–15
2x= 9
x=9/2=4.5 miles per hour (rate of current)
Answer:
x = 45
Step-by-step explanation:
x = (360 - 135 * 2) / 2
x = (360 - 270) / 2
x = 90 / 2
x = 45
