Answer:

y = -1/3x +3

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope, m, is equal to the rise over the run

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

m = (2-4) / (3+3)

m = -2/6 = -1/3

y-y1 = m (x-x1)

y-4 = -1/3(x+3)

y -4 = -1/3x - 1

y = -1/3x -1 +4

y = -1/3x + 3

$p=x^2+\dfrac{1}{x^2}\\\\p=\dfrac{x^4}{x^2}+\dfrac{1}{x^2}\\\\p=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}\qquad(*)$

$q=x+\dfrac{1}{x}\\\\q=\dfrac{x^2}{x}+\dfrac{1}{x}\\\\q=\dfrac{x^2+1}{x}\qquad\text{square both sides}\\\\q^2=\left(\dfrac{x^2+1}{x}\right)^2\\\\q^2=\dfrac{(x^2+1)^2}{x^2}\qquad\text{use}\ \ (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\\\\q^2=\dfrac{(x^2)^2+2(x^2)(1)+1^2}{x^2}\\\\q^2=\dfrac{x^4+2x^2+1}{x^2}\\\\q^2=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}+\dfrac{2x^2}{x^2}\\\\q^2=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}+2\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\q^2-2=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}\\\\\text{From (*) we have}\\\\\boxed{p=q^2-2}$

Help!!! Carla earns $6.25 per hour working at a store. When she gets her paycheck she repays her brother $40. She has at least $

lora16 [44]

What i did was add 40 to 120 to get 160. then i devided 160 by the 6.25 she got per hour and i got 25.6 and rounded to 26 which would end up being the least amount of hours she could’ve worked. so 26 is the answer i’m pretty sure
