Answer:

The slope of the line passing through the points (-3, 7) and (2, -6) is -13/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula to find the slope of the line based on two points.

m = y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁

Substitute the values

m = -6 - 7/2 - (-3)

Simplify.

m = -13/5

The slope of this line is -13/5.

A car's gas tank that is 40% full contains 12 gallons of gas. Show the math you used to find the maximum capacity of the gas tan

Lisa [10]

Answer: 30 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

So fist we add 40% and $40%. That's 80 percent of the tank which is 12 + 12 = 24. Then we figure out half of 40 percent which is 20 which means its 6 gallons. Now we add. 12+12+6 which equals our answer 30 gallons
