Answer:

"If the line has a slope that is not 0, then the the line is not horizontal".

Step-by-step explanation:

The contrapositive of "If p then q" is "If not q then not p".

p=a line is horizontal

not p= a line that is not horizontal

q=the line has a slope equal to zero

not q=the line has a slope that is not zero

The equivalent statement in contrapositive form is therefore:

"If the line has a slope that is not 0, then the the line is not horizontal".

a vender sold a combined total of 244 sodas and hotdogs. the number of hot dogs sold was 38 less then the number of sodas. how m

Ad libitum [116K]

H+s=244
h=s-38

sub s-38 for h
s-38+s=244
2s-38=244
add 38 both sides
2s=282
divide 2 both sides
s=141

sub
h=s-38
h=141-38
h=103

103 hot dogs
141 sodas

Rewrite the following radical expression in rational exponent form. (√x)5

ch4aika [34]

If you meant:
$( \sqrt{x})^5$

Then, let's change the square to read:
$(x^ \frac{1}{2})^5$

Now, we can just multiply the two powers, and your answer is:
$x^ \frac{5}{2}$

Hope I helped.
