Answer:

m = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that slope = (change in y) / (change in x).

Going from (−8,−1) to (−6,−2), x increases by 2 (because -6 - (-8) = 2), and

y decreases by 1. Thus, the slope here is

m = (change in y) / (change in x) = (-1) / 2 = -1 / 2

m = -1/2

How can you convert 5 feet 6 inches to inches

9966 [12]

Hello!

1 foot = 12 inches

We need to convert 5 feet 6 inches to just inches. To do this, let's multiply how many inches there are in one foot by 5 feet.

12 × 5 = 60

That means that 5 feet are equal to 60 inches. We still have 6 inches left. Add them:

60 + 6 = 66

ANSWER:

5 fest 6 inches = 66 inches.

I need help solving it

HACTEHA [7]

Answer: OPTION 3. -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

-52=-4x-5(-2x+2)

Distributive property (REMEMBER you need to change signs)

-52=-4x-5×(-2x)-5×2

-52=-4x+10x-10

Combine like terms (-4x and 10x)

-52=6x-10

Add 10 on both sides

-52+10=6x-10+10

-42=6x

Divide 6 on both sides

-42/6=6/6x

x=-7

Hope this helps!! :)

Two distinct number cubes, one red and one blue, are rolled together. Each number cube has sides numbered 1 through 6.

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

$P(E_1 or E_2) = \frac{7}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Two cubes of side 1 - 6

Required

Probability that the outcome of the roll is an odd sum or a sum that is a multiple of 5

First, the sample space needs to be listed;

Let $C_r$ represent the Red cube

$C_b$ represent the Blue cube

S represent the sample space

$C_r = (1,2,3,4,5,6)\\C_b = (1,2,3,4,5,6)\\S = (2,3,4,5,6,7,3,4,5,6,7,8,4,5,6,7,8,9,5,6,7,8,9,10,6,7,8,9,10,11,7,8,9,10,11,12)$ S is gotten by getting the sum of $C_r$ and $C_b$
