The slope of the line passing through points (-5,-2) and (3,-9) is -7/8.

To solve for the slope, we can use the slope formula:

m = (y2 — y1) / (x2 — x1)

Let (x1,y1) = (-5,2)
(x2,y2) = (3,-9)

Plug in the values into the slope formula:

m = (y2 — y1) / (x2 — x1)

m = [(-9 — (-2)] / [(3 — (-5)]

m = (-9 + 2) / (3 + 5)

m = -7/8

Therefore, the slope of the line is -7/8.

**At noon the minute and the hour hands overlap. When will it happen next?

Svetllana [295]

Answer: At 01:05 p.m. it will overlap again.

Explanation:

Since there are 22 times in a day the minute and the hour hands overlap.

During the first half of the day , it overlaps 11 times and during the rest of the day it overlap 11 more times.

At noon, the minute and the hour hands overlap and after that it will happen at 01:05 p.m.

Since the minute hand completes a full circle in one hour, so it forms 6 degrees per minute .

So, at 01:05 p.m. it will overlap again.

The owner of a toy store received a shipment of 1,552 party favors. The party favors came in 28 boxes. The same number of party

Svetradugi [14.3K]

let

x = the number of party favors in each of the 27 boxes

y = the number of party favors in the last box

the total number of party favors is 1,552

27x + y = 1,552

since 1552 = 57*27 + 13

if we assume that y<x we conclude that there are 57 party favors in each of the 27 boxes and 13 party favors in the last box.

Angles and transversals thank you

Answer:

#11-13: 118 , 97 , 62

#7-10: 92 , 125 , 56 , 130

Step-by-step explanation:

#11. Supplementary angles (A + B = 180)

(n + 7) + (3n - 47) = 180
n = 55
<ABC = 3(55) - 47 = 118 degrees

#12. Supplementary angles

83 + x = 180
x = 97
<ABC = 97 degrees

#13. Congruent angles (A = B)

(8x - 34) = (5x +2)
x = 12
<DEF = 5 (12) + 2 = 62 degrees

#7. Congruent angles

(3x +23) = 4x
x = 23
<ABC = 4(23) = 92 degrees

#8. Congruent angles

5x = (3x + 50)
x = 25
<MPQ = 3(25) + 50 = 125 degrees

#9. Congruent angles

(a + 28) = 2a
a = 28
<MNP = (28) + 28 = 56 degrees

#10. Congruent angles

5y = (2y + 78)
y = 26
<WXZ = 5(26) = 130 degrees

I hope this helps!
