Answer:
-15
Step-by-step explanation:
When adding together two negatives it works just as it would with positive numbers, just with the negative sign to properly negate it.
Recall that an equation in slope-intercept form is as follows:
where m is the slope of the line, and (0,b) is the y-intercept.
Substituting m=-6, and b=-1/2 we get:
Simplifying the above result we get:
Answer:
Answer:
13 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The shortest distance would be a straight line between the two points. This would be a hypotenuse of a right triangle
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to determine the length
a^2+b^2=c^2
5^2 +12^2 = c^2
25+144= c^2
169 = c^2
Taking the square root of each side
sqrt(169) = sqrt(c^2)
13 = c
Answer:
n ≥ -17
Step-by-step explanation:
Writing a symbolic inequality, we get:
10 - 3n ≤ 61
Solve this for 3n by adding 3n to both sides of this equation:
10 ≤ 61 + 3n
Solve for n by subtracting 61 from both sides and then dividing all of the resulting terms by 3:
-51 ≤ 3n (divide both sides by 3):
-17 ≤ n, or
n ≥ -17
