Answer:

<h2>slope = -10/7</h2>

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

co-ordinates = (6,-2) (5,-4)

slope = (y² - y¹) / (x² - x¹)

slope = (-4 - 6) / (5 - (-2))

slope = (-10) / (5+2)

slope = (-10) / 7

slope = -10 / 7

you rent a canoe for 5$ per hour.Your cost before the tax is added is 12.50. write and solve an equation to find the total numbe

Basile [38]

Answer: The equation is 5x = 12.50 and you will have the canoe for 2 and half hours or 2 hours 30 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

You rent the canoe for 5 dollars per hour and that can be represented by the expression 5x. After sometime you paid $12.50 meaning that to find the number of hours that you need the canoe, we need to set 5x to equal 12.50.

5x = 12.50 Solve for x by divide both sides by 5.

x = 2.5

This means you will need the canoe for 2 and half hours.

Jack is mowing a lawn that has a shed. needs to know area of lawn to mow. dimensions of yard are 5x by 13 x-4 . she'd are 2x by

Elena-2011 [213]

The diagram of the lawn and the shed is shown below.

The area of the lawn needed to be mowed equals to the area of the yard minus the area of the shed

The area of the yard = $(5x)(13x-4) = 65 x^{2} -20x$
The area of the shed = $(2x)(2x+4)=4 x^{2} +8x$

The area of the lawn = $65 x^{2} -20x-(4 x^{2} +8x)$
The area of the lawn = $65 x^{2} -20x-4 x^{2} -8x$
The area of the lawn = $61 x^{2} -28x$
