What is the slope of a line that passes through (-4,-13) and (19,11)?

raketka [301]

We can find the slope from the two given points using the standard formula:
$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$
$m=\frac{11-(-13)}{19-(-4)}$
$m=\frac{24}{23}$

Marvin is comparing two different music websites. Website A charges $10 per month for a subscription and $0.25 per song. Website

Alecsey [184]

Website A:
c = 10 + 0.25 s
where c is the cost and s is the number of songs.
Website B:
c = 0.75 s
The equation ( answer ):
10 + 0.25 s = 0.75 s
We can solve this equation:
10 = 0.5 s
s = 10 : 0.5
s = 20 ( Marvin would have to buy 20 songs to to make the costs equal )
