Answer: the number of students that were surveyed is 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = total number of students that were surveyed about their favorite colors

1/4 of the students preferred red.

This means that the number of students that preferred red is 1/4 × x = x/4

1/8 of the students preferred blue.

This means that the number of students that preferred blue is 1/8 × x = x/8

The remaining number of students will be the total number of students - the sum of the number of students that preferred red and the number of students that preferred blue. It becomes

x - (x/4 + x/8) = x - 3x/8 = 5x/8

3/5 of the remaining students were for green. This means that the number of students that preferred green is 3/5 × 5x/8 = 3x/8

if 15 students prefer green, then

3x/8 = 15

3x = 120

x = 120/3 = 40 students

Choose the graph below that has an undefined slope.
Ronch [10]

Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first line passing through the points (-6,2) and (-6,0).

The slope of a line is

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

The slope of first line is

m_1=\frac{0-2}{-6-(-6)}=\infty

The second line passing through the points (0,-4) and (-1,1). The slope of second line is

m_2=\frac{1-(-4)}{-1-0}=-5

The third line passing through the points (0,-6) and (2,-6). The slope of third line is

m_3=\frac{-6-(-6)}{2-0}=0

The fourth line passing through the points (0,6) and (-3,-7). The slope of fourth line is


m_4=\frac{-7-6}{-3-0}=\frac{13}{3}

Since the slope of a vertical line is infinity, Therefore option A is correct.

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

  3^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

  (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

  (a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)

__

  \dfrac{(3^3)(3^3)}{(3^4)}=3^{3+3-4}=\boxed{3^2}
