Answer:

m =(Y²-y¹)÷(x²-x¹)

= (-12 -8 )÷(3-1)

= (-12 -8 )÷(3+1 )

= -20/4

= 5

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the slope formula to find the slope

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

=(-12 -8)/(3 - -1)

=(-12-8)/(3+1)

= -20/4

= -5

The relationship between the number of pounds (lb) of peanuts and the price

lapo4ka [179]

Most likely B because one pound is equal to 6 dollars. So i think it would be x= 1 and y= 6

So put the x as the dom and 6 as the num?

The sales tax on $350 is 22.75 find the sales tax rate

bogdanovich [222]

To find the tax rate when given the initial price of an object and the final tax value, you use the equation: $350 * X = $22.75 (where X is the sales tax rate). Then solve:
$22.75/$350 = .065

So the rate is 6.5%

Help please I'm stuck show and explain your work

Deffense [45]

The expressions D, E, and F represent a correct solution to the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

First, we need to solve the given equation and find the value of x which satisfies the equation.

$6(x+4)=20, (x+4) = \frac{20}{6} = 3.333,$

$x = 3.333 - 4 = -0.666.$

So the value of x for the given equation is -0.666.

Step 2:

Now we evaluate the values of the six given options to see which ones have an x value of -0.666.

A. $\frac{20-4}{6}= \frac{16}{6} = 2.666,$

B. $\frac{1}{6} (20-4)= \frac{1}{6} (16)=\frac{16}{6} = 2.666,$

C. 20 -6 -4 = 20 - 10 = 10.

D. $\frac{20}{6} -4= 3.333 - 4 = -0.666,$

E. $\frac{1}{6} (20-24) = \frac{1}{6} (-4)= -0.666,$

F. $(20-24)\frac{1}{6} = (-4)\frac{1}{6} = -0.666.$

So the options D, E, and F represent a correct solution to the given equation.
