What is the slope of the line that contains the points (7, -1) and (-2, -4)?

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, so in this you want to use the slope formula: m=y2-y1/x2-x1. You plug the coordinates of the points into the formula to get the slope. (x1,y1) (x2,y2). So in this problem, 7 is x1, -1 is y1, -2 is x2, -4 is y2. So using the formula, you plug in y2 minus y1, divided by x2 minus x1.

So m (the slope) = -4- (-1) divided by -2-7.

2 negatives make a positive, so -4 + 1 is -3. -2-7 becomes -9. So this is now -3/-9. Again, 2 negatives make a positive, so this is now 3/9. Simplify and the answer is positive 1/3. Hope this helps!

The gas tank of a 2015 Nissan Sentra holds 13.2 gallons. How many pounds of carbon dioxide are produced by burning an entire tan
OLEGan [10]
<span>13.2 gallons=49.9 liters
the gas is the octan C8H18
the combustion of Octan equation is 
C8H18    +   25/2 O2-------------------> 8CO2         +  9 H2O
1mole                                                    8 moles
n(C8H18)=a                                              n(CO2)=b
so 
1 mole/a  = 8moles /b
and b= 8molesx a

we must find the value of a, molar volume of a gas is  v= 22.4l/mol=V/a, so a=V/v= 49.9/22.4= 2.23 moles

and b=8 x a=8x 2.23=17.85 moles
M(CO2)=m(CO2)/n(CO2)====> m=n x M=17.85 * (12+2x16)=  785.4 g

m(CO2)=785.4g = 1.57 pound</span>

Answer:

The literals are; a, b, and c

The constants are; c, and 3

The variables are; x, and y

Step-by-step explanation:

The literals (numbers) are letters which represent numbers in an expression or equation, and to which mathematical operations, including, addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication can be applied

The given equation is a·x² + b·x + c - y + 3 = 0

The literals are;

'a', 'b', and 'c'

The constants are the values that remain the same always in an equation and does not change

The constants are;

'c', and '3'

The variables are the values that vary in relation to one another

The variables are;

'x', and 'y'

Answer:

  20 2/3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Altogether Jamal hiked 1 + 1 9/11 times the length of the first trail:

  (2 9/11)(7 1/3) = (31/11)(22/3) = 62/3 = 20 2/3

Jamal hiked 20 2/3 miles.
