What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-10,-8) and (-8,-16)?

Mathematics

To find the slope of this line we will use the slope formula, which is:

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

(Where (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) are points on the line)


To find our answer to this problem, we can simply substitute the values we are given:

m = \dfrac{-16 - (-8)}{-8 - (-10)} = \dfrac{-16 + 8}{-8 + 10} = \dfrac{-8}{2} = -4


The slope of the line is -4.

This polynomial does not factor so you have to complete the square or use Quadratic formula.
x^2 + 6x + 7 = 0
Using completing the square, subtract 7 from both sides.
x^2 + 6x = -7
divide 6 by 2 = 3, square 3 = 9, add 9 to both sides.
x^2 + 6x + 9 = 2
(x + 3)^2 = 2
Take the sqrt of both sides
x + 3 =  + - sqrt 2
subtract 3 from both sides
x = - 3 + - sqrt 2
This is not an answer choice but it is the correct answer. You either typed the choices incorrectly or the equation incorrectly.

The value of a piece of land is $500 an acre. The price per acre is expected to increase 7% per year. Which function models the
kobusy [5.1K]
To set the equation,we can first find how much price would be raised within a year:

=500×(1+7%)

=500×1.07

As the years go by the increase would accumulate,and the equation would be:

500 \times  {1.07}^{t}
Hope it helps!

What is the reciprocal of a negetive number? ​
lana [24]

Answer:

The reciprocals of a number is sometimes called the Multiplicative Inverse of the number. The product of a negative number and its reciprocal equals 1. If the number is negative then the reciprocal must also be negative to produce a product of +1. The reciprocal of -4 is -1/4.
