Answer:

b. -2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+y=12

add -2x to both sides

y = -2x + 12

this is in slope intercept form y = mx + b

m meaning the slope

in this case the slope is -2

the answer will be b. -2

Answer:

b. -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

Note that:

y = (x , y)

m = slope

x = (x , y)

b = y-intercept

First, isolate the variable, y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation:

2x (-2x) + y = (-2x) + 12

y = -2x + 12

Remember, m is the variable for the term that stands for the slope (directly next to the x variable). In this case, your answer will be -2

b. -2 is your answer.

How am i going to break down 14x25x4 using the strategy distributive property

MAVERICK [17]

14 x 25 x 4

= 14 x 100

= 1400

The distributive property isn't required. However, I can solve it using the property...

14 x 25 x 4

= 14 x 100

= (10+4)100

= 1000+400

= 1400

The running back for the Bulldogs football team carried the ball 5 times for a total loss of 11 1/4 yards. Find the average chan

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

$\displaystyle 2\ \frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Fractions</u>

They can be expressed as proper fractions, improper fractions or mixed numbers. Proper fractions are such that the numerator is less than the denominator, like 2/5, 7/11, -9/10. Improper fractions are those whose numerators are greater than the denominator, such as 5/3, 10/9, -21/8.

Mixed numbers are expressions made of whole numbers and a proper fraction, like 4 3/5, 1 1/2, -5 4/9. Mixed numbers can be transformed to improper fractions and vice-versa.

The question requires us to find the average change in field position on each run of the running back for the Bulldogs football team which carried the ball 5 times for a total loss of 11 1/4 yards.

The number 11 1/4 is mixed, to express it as an improper fraction, we add the numbers like

$\displaystyle 11+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{45}{4}$

This improper fraction will now be divided by 5 to find the average of 5 runs:

$\displaystyle \frac{\frac{45}{4}}{5}=\frac{9}{4}$

We now need to separate the improper fraction to a mixed number, let's just divide 9 by 4 to get 2 as the quotient and 1 for the remainder, thus

$\boxed{\displaystyle \frac{9}{4}=2\ \frac{1}{4}}$
