Answer: -3 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

When both integers are negative, you can treat them the same as positive numbers and add a negative sign to your final sum.

1+2 2/5 (or 2 4/10 or 2.4) is equal to 3 2/5. So (-1)+ (-2 2/5) is equal to -3 2/5, or -3.4.

Find the Slope:

AveGali [126]

Answer:

4) slope= 0

5) $slope = - \frac{1}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\boxed{ slope = \frac{y _{2} - y_1 }{x_2 - x_1} }$

4) Slope

$= \frac{10 - 10}{ - 10 - 3}$

$= \frac{0}{ - 13}$

= 0

The slope is zero as the line is a horizontal line (since both points have the same y-coordinate of 10).

5) Slope

$= \frac{5 - 4}{2 - 9}$

$= \frac{1}{ - 7}$

$= - \frac{1}{7}$

Since you have taken (x₁, y₁) to be (9, 4), the value of x₁ should be 9 instead of 2.

Three times a larger number is 30 more than 5 times a smaller number. The sum of the larger number and 5 times the smaller numbe

slava [35]

3y = 5x + 30

y + 5x = 50 .......(1)

3y - 5x = 30 .....(2) - rearranging the first equation.

Add (1) and (2):-

4y = 80

y = 20
Now plug y = 20 into equation (1):-
20 + 5x = 50
5x = 30
x = 6

The 2 numbers are 6 and 20.
