Answer:

f(x) = 7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, hello! This is my explanation to the provided answer,

You can use the slope formula, (or simply graph the points), y2 - y2 / x2 - x1.

This would give you: 1 - 8 / -2 - 4, meaning that you would get the answer: 7/6 as the slope.

Hope this helps, if you have any more questions please ask.

A bookshelf can hold a maximum of 45 books. Let b represents the number of books to be shelved. Which inequality represents how

leonid [27]

The number of books that can be shelved is 45. So then we know that the amount that need to be shelved can be 45, if the bookshelf had 0 books on it. This means that it can have the equal part of the inequality sign.

However, the amount of book that need to be shelved cannot exceed 45, so b must be less than 45.

Therefore, the answer must be D) b ≤ 45.

Find the area of triangle ABC when b= 141 degrees a= 7 and c=8

Vlad [161]

You basically use the formula height*base/2 to find the area of the triangle. For instance, let's say a is your chosen base, which has a length of 7. You then use the pythagorean theorem of the right triangle (which is formed by splitting the triangle in half), which is a^2+b^2=c^2, and you substitute half your base for a and the other length (8) for c, which is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Note how this is all being done to find "b", which is the height of the triangle, which will then help you substitute all of your known values into the area formula of a triangle to answer your question. I'm not sure if b=141 degrees would have an impact on this question, but I hope this helped you in some way.
