Using the slope, it is found that the correct option is:

No, the contractor does not believe the roof is steep because the <em>slope </em>is 0.

Given two points, (x_0, y_0) and (x_1, y_1), the slope is given by <u>change in y divided by change in x</u>, that is:

m = \frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta_x} = \frac{y_1 - y_0}{x_1 - x_0}

  • The slope measures the inclination of a graph, and if it is zero, the graph is <u>not steep</u>.

In this problem, <u>y is always the same value</u>, hence \Delta_y = 0 and m = 0, which means that the roof is not steep, and the correct option is:

No, the contractor does not believe the roof is steep because the <em>slope </em>is 0.

Simplify (-x^2 – 28x + 7) + (-7x^2 + 14x + 8).
Anon25 [30]

Add numbers with the same amount of variables

-x^2 + (-7x^2) = -8x^2

– 28x (+ 14x )= -14x

7 (+ 8) = 15

-18x² - 14x + 15 is your answer

hope this helps

2(x-3)-8&lt; -4 I need a explanation and the answer please.
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The solution to the inequality is:

x

The number line solution graph is also attached below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality

2(x-3)-8< -4

Add 8 to both sides

2\left(x-3\right)-8+8

2\left(x-3\right)

Divide both sides by 2

\frac{2\left(x-3\right)}{2}

x-3

Add 3 to both sides

x-3+3

x

Thus, the solution to the inequality is:

x

The number line solution graph is also attached below.
