Answer: Choice A) z

==========================================================

Explanation:

x and y are two integers, with x being nonzero

This means x/y is rational as long as y is nonzero as well. If y = 0, then we have a division by zero error. Try something like 1/0 on your calculator and you'll find it doesn't work.

Similarly, y/x is rational as well. Any rational number is simply dividing two integers as a fraction like this. Other examples include stuff like 1/2, 4/5, 8/17, and so on.

Since y is an integer, this means we can write it like this: y = y/1. This shows any integer is also rational, but not the other way around. A fraction like 2/3 is rational but not an integer.

All of what was discussed above indicates that choices B, C and D can be ruled out. The only thing left is choice A. The variable z isn't defined, so it's not clear what it is exactly. But it's likely the answer as it's the only thing left after the eliminations.

Find the value of |-4 + 3| · 8.
Kay [80]

Answer:

20

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<h3>Solve</h3>

Any negative number added to a positive number always brings you further to the left, which is considered the negative zone. It's more like subtracting in a different way. That said, let's make the equation.

-4 = -4<em> </em>

Now, multiply 3 by 8.

3 * 8 = 24

Add negative 4, meaning subtract 4 in a dynamic way.

|-4 + 24~| = 20

If you can answer this question you'll get brainliest.
igomit [66]

Answer:

Volume = 66 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the oblique triangular prism = Area of the triangular base × Vertical height from the base

From the figure attached,

Area of the triangular base = \frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height of the right triangle})

                                             = \frac{1}{2}(3)(4)

                                             = 6 cm²

Vertical height of the given oblique prism = 11 cm

Volume of the given oblique prism = 6 × 11

                                                          = 66 cm³

Find an equation for the line with the given properties. Express your answer using the general form or the slope-intercept form
Damm [24]

Answer:

y=-3x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the equation in the slope-intercept form first, put the equation in slope-point form using the information given. The slope-point form is y-(-2)=-3(x-2). Then solve for y.

Distribute -3 to (x-2),

y-(-2)=-3x+6

Then, add -2 to both sides,

y=-3x+4

This is your final answer; the slope is -3 and the y-intercept is 4. There are also a few other ways to solve but I find this the easiest.
