Step-by-step explanation:

points (-7,5) and (5,-3)?

This would mean to subtract the y coordinates:

5 - (-3) = 8

Then subtract the x coordinates in the same order:

-7 - 5 = -12

Then divide the y result by the x result for the slope:

8/-12 is the slope.

In simplest form, this is equivalent to -2/3

How do you use compatible numbers to estimate the quotient $595 divided by 25

storchak [24]

Well, 25 certainly doesn't divide evenly into 595, but it does divide into 600, which is <em>very</em> close to 595. So if we divide 600 by 25, we can get a rough estimate of what 595 divided by 25 is.
$\frac{600}{25} = 6* \frac{100}{25} = 6* 4=24$

Write a complete two-column proof for the following information. Hint: Use the Angle Addition Theorem and the fact that a line i

kramer

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: m∠1 = 62° and lines t and l intersect

Prove: m∠4 = 62°

Proof:

Statement Reason

m∠1 = 62° Given

m∠1 , m∠2 are supplementary t is a straight line hence linear pair.

m∠4 , m∠2 are supplementary r is a straight line hence linear pair.

Angle 2=180-62 = 118 Definition of supplementary angles

Angle 4 = 180-118 =62 -do-

Angle 1 = Angle 4 Equality property

Hence proved

Find the common ratio of the geometric sequence 6, 48, 384, ...

gregori [183]

Answer:

r = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio r of a geometric sequence is

r = $\frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} }$ = $\frac{a_{3} }{a_{2} }$ = ..... = $\frac{a_{n} }{a_{n-1} }$

Then

r = $\frac{48}{6}$ = $\frac{384}{48}$ = 8
