I not 100% sure but I chose C.
Hope this helps.. but good luck :)
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (5-8)/(-8 - -5)
= -3/(-8+5)
= -3/-3
= 1

Answer:
A. 3×3
B. [0, 1, 5]
C. (rows, columns) = (# equations, # variables) for matrix A; vector x remains unchanged; vector b has a row for each equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
A. The matrix A has a row for each equation and a column for each variable. The entries in each column of a given row are the coefficients of the corresponding variable in the equation the row represents. If the variable is missing, its coefficient is zero.
This system of equations has 3 equations in 3 variables, so matrix A has dimensions ...
A dimensions = (rows, columns) = (# equations, # variables) = (3, 3)
Matrix A is 3×3.
__
B. The second row of A represents the second equation:

The coefficients of the variables are 0, 1, 5. These are the entries in row 2 of matrix A.
__
C. As stated in part A, the size of matrix A will match the number of equations and variables in the system. If the number of variables remains the same, the number of rows of A (and b) will reflect the number of equations. (The number of columns of A (and rows of x) will reflect the number of variables.)
Short answer A
This one is exactly the same (with number changes) as the last one. You cannot use t which is in time, to mix with pure numbers which in this case is grams. That means that both C and D are incorrect.
Now as with the last one, are you going to raise e to a minus number or a plus number? Remember that if e is raised to a plus number, the sample in this case will increase. You are watching a radioactive decay. The number has to be smaller. So B is eliminated. There is only one answer left and that's A. It should be correct.
