Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

First express it in the form of y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

y-3=-4x+20

y=-4x+20+3

y=-4x+23 then m=-4 which is the slope

Answer:

slope = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

y - 3 = - 4(x - 5) ← is in point- slope form

with slope m = - 4

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's work this problem backwards. So, if he has y dollars left after spending 25% the second time or 3/4 of the money left. So, inverse it to get $\frac{4}{3}$ y. Then, do the same for 20% or 4/5, then 4/3y * 5/4 = 5/3y

Jade and Ali set the alarms on their phones to sound at 7.15 am.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

9:15 am

Step-by-step explanation:

Alarms sound at 7:15 am

Alarm frequencies are 40 min and 60 min

Since 40= 20*2 and 60= 20*3, the overlapping frequency is:

20*2*3= 120 min = 2 hours

So next time both alarms sound at 7:15 am + 2 hours = 9:15 am

2. Given a directed line segment with endpoints A(3, 2) and B(6, 11), what is the point that

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The point of division is (5 , 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- If point (x , y) divides the line whose endpoints are $(x_{1},y_{1})$

and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ at ratio $m_{1}:m_{2}$ , then

$x=\frac{x_{1}m_{2}+x_{2}m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}$ and

$y=\frac{y_{1}m_{2}+y_{2}m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}$

* Lets solve the problem

- The directed line segment with endpoints A (3 , 2) and B (6 , 11)

- There is a point divides AB two-thirds from A to B

∵ The coordinates of the endpoints of the directed line segments

are A = (3 , 2) and B = (6 , 11)

∴ $(x_{1},y_{1})$ is (3 , 2)

∴ $(x_{2},y_{2})$ is (6 , 11)

∵ Point (x , y) divides AB two-thirds from A to B

- That means the distance from A to the point (x , y) is 2/3 from

the distance of the line AB, and the distance from the point (x , y)

to point B is 1/3 from the distance of the line AB

∴ $m_{1}:m_{2}$ = 2 : 1

∵ $x=\frac{(3)(1)+(6)(2)}{2+1}=\frac{3+12}{3}=\frac{15}{3}=5$

∴ The x-coordinate of the point of division is 5

∵ $y=\frac{(2)(1)+(11)(2)}{2+1}=\frac{2+22}{3}=\frac{24}{3}=8$

∴ The y-coordinate of the point of division is 8

∴ The point of division is (5 , 8)
