Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

(4,3) (2,-7)

Put it in the equation of y2 - y1 over x2 - x1

-7-3 = -10 and 2 - 4 = -2 that will give you the fraction of -10/-2

Reduce the fraction and that will give you the answer of 5, slope = 5

In slope-intercept form it would be y - 3 = 5 (x - 4)

Hope this helps! ^^

Answer:

Average speed is 48 km per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

A student drove to the university from her home and noted that the odometer reading of her car increased by 16.0 km. The trip took 20.0 min. (a) What was her average speed? in km/hr

Distance traveled is 16 km and the time taken is 20 minutes

convert minutes into hour. to convert minutes into hour we divide by 60 because 1 hour = 60 minutes

$\frac{20}{60} =\frac{1}{3}$

so time = 1/3 and distance = 16

Average speed = distance by time

$speed =\frac{16}{\frac{1}{3} } =\frac{48}{1}= 48$

Average speed is 48 km per hour

Why do you need fewer inches than centimeters to measure the length of the key

kirill [66]

Inches and centimeters are different units of measurement, one English, one metric. Converting from one to the other requires use of a conversion factor.
One such factor can be derived from 1 inch = 2.54 cm. This means that one inch is 2.54 times longer than one cm.

Two positive consecutive numbers are represented by x and x+1. If four is added to the first

Naya [18.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> new numbers are x+4 and x-1</h3>

so, x+4/x-1=11/16

16x+64=11x-11

16x-11x=-11-64

5x=-75

x = -15

also, x+1 = -14
