Answer:

-7/9

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope of a line between two points is 'rise over run', or the vertical distance between the points divided by the horizontal distance between them.

Finding the change in either direction is done by simply subracting our starting value from our ending value. It does not matter which point you start at, but lets choose (-6,-7) as our starting point, and (-24,7) as our end point.

The 'rise' of this line is 7 - (-7), which equals 14

The 'run' would then be -24 - (-6), which equals -18

Thus the slope is 14/(-18). Reducing this fraction gives us an answer of -7/9.

Answer:

The answer is " $\bold{(7.1-8.3) \pm 1.665 \sqrt{\frac{(1.7)^2}{50}+\frac{(1.9)^2}{39}} }\\\\$ "

Step-by-step explanation:

Given values:

$\bar{x_1}=7.1\\\\\bar{x_2}=8.3\\\\s_1=1.7\\\\s_2=1.9\\\\n_1=50\\\\n_2=39$

Using formula:

$\to (\bar{x_1} -\bar{x_2}) \pm t \sqrt{\frac{(s_1)^2}{n_1}+\frac{(s_1)^2}{n_2}} \\\\$

Put the values in the above formula:

$\to (7.1-8.3) \pm 1.665 \sqrt{\frac{(1.7)^2}{50}+\frac{(1.9)^2}{39}} \\\\$

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. A system of equations and its solution are given system A x-y=7 -3x+9y=-39 s

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x-y=7

-3x+9y=-39

Divide the second equation by 3

-x +3y = -13

Add this to the first equation

x-y=7

-x +3y = -13

----------------------

0x +2y = -6

Divide by 2

2y/2 = -6/2

y = -3

Now find x

x-y = 7

x -(-3) = 7

x+3 = 7

Subtract 3 from each side

x = 4

(4,-3)

Or by substitution

x-y=7

solve for x

x = 7+y

-3x+9y=-39

Substitute y+7 in for x

-3(7+y) +9y = -39

Distribute

-21 -3y +9y = -39

Combine like terms

-21 +6y = -39

Add 21 to each side

6y = -18

Answer:

The answer to your question is 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Initial price = $2.00

Final price = $2.50

First we subtract the final price to the inicial price

increment = 2.50 - 2.00

= $0.50 It's the amount that the school increases to the community members

Now we use a rule of three to find the percent

$2.00 ---------------------- 100%

$0.50 --------------------- x

x = 0.50 x 100/2 = 50/2 = 25%

The rational numbers will best define- The height of an airplane as it descends to an airport runway.

This is because it includes fractions as well.
Irrational, integers, whole numbers cannot be used in this situation.
