Slope (m)= y2-y1/x2-x1
m= -1-2/-1-(-3)
m= -3/2
Therefore slope is -3/2

How many solutions are there to the equation below?

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a linear equation in one variable and has 1 solution

12x + 6 = 5x ( subtract 5x from both sides )

7x + 6 = 0 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

7x = - 6 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = - $\frac{6}{7}$ ← 1 solution

X^2-8x+16=5 what are the solutions?

svp [43]

Hey!

The first step to solving this equation would be to subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.

Original Equation :
$x^{2}$ - 8x + 16 = 5

New Equation {Added Subtract 5 to Both Sides} :
$x^{2}$ - 8x + 16 - 5 = 5 - 5

Now we solve our new equation.

Old Equation :
$x^{2}$ - 8x + 16 - 5 = 5 - 5

Solution {Old Equation Solved} :
$x^{2}$ - 8x + 11 = 0

The next step would be to solve with the quadratic formula.

Quadratic Equation ( 1 ) :
$x = \frac{-(-8) + \sqrt{(-8)^{2} -4 * 1 * 11 } }{2*1}$

Quadratic Equation ( 1 ) {Solved} :
4 + $\sqrt{5}$

Quadratic Equation ( 2 ) :
$x = \frac{-(-8) - \sqrt{(-8)^{2}-4 *1*11 } }{2*1}$

Quadratic Equation ( 2 ) {Solved} :
4 - $\sqrt{5}$

So, our final solutions for the equation $x^{2}$ - 8x + 16 = 5 are...

x = 4 + $\sqrt{5}$

and 

x = 4 - $\sqrt{5}$

Hope this helps!

The distance from Apple to Blue is about 2 times from the distance from Austin to:

andre [41]

First we need to look at the table to figure out what the distance from Apple to Blue is. The chart says this is 150 miles or 253 km. If we would like to know the distance that when multiplied by two from Austin to somewhere is equal to these values, we would need to divide them by two.

150/2 = 75 miles
253/2 = 126.5 km

Now we look at the chart to see which values from Austin to somewhere are closest to these values. From Austin to Turkey would be the closest at 70 miles and 136 km, so this is the answer.

I hope this helps!
