Answer:

The slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 3) and (8, 6) is $\frac{1}{2}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of two points, divide the difference between the y values by the difference between x values, you can remember this by the mnenomic "rise over run". In this case, the difference between y and x values would be 6 - 3 = 3 and 8 - 2 = 6 respectively. This means the slope between the two points (2, 3) and (8, 6) is $\frac{3}{6}$ or $\frac{1}{2}$ .

A regular-size box of cereal measures 3 1/2 inches by 8 1/2 inches by 15 inches. The manufacturer also sells an individual-size

Phoenix [80]

The individual-size box of cereal is a rectangular prism with a volume of 44.625 inches³.

<h3>What is the volume of a rectangular prism?</h3>

The volume of rectangular prism of length l, width w and height h is given by:

V = lwh.

In this problem, the standard dimensions are:

l = 3(1/2) = 3 + 0.5 = 3.5 inches.

w = 8(1/2) = 8 + 0.5 = 8.5 inches.

h = 15 inches.

The individual-size box has a 1/10 of the volume of the original box, hence:

V = 0.1 x 3.5 x 8.5 x 15 = 44.625 inches³.

Given the following 2 equations, state whether these equations are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Neither

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is generally given as;

$y=mx+b$

where m = the slope of the line

b = the y-intercept of the line

Two lines are said to be parallel if they have the same slope. Looking at the two given equations below, we see that the slope of the 1st one, 5/7, is different from the slope of the 2nd one, 7/5;
