Answer:

slope is undefined

ex. a straight vertical line like x = 2 would have an undefined slope

Step-by-step explanation:

formula is

y2-y1 / x2-x1

-13 + 9 / -5 + 5

-4 / 0

slope is undefined

straight vertical line like x = 2 would have an undefined slope

undefined slope is the slope of any vertical line that goes up or down. There is no horizontal movement and hence the denominator is zero while calculating the slope. Thus the slope of the line is undefined.

A married couple together earns 110,000 a year. The wife earns 16,000 less than twice what her husband earns.what does the husba

Alex17521 [72]

If we place what the husband earns as h and what the wife earns as w, we can begin...
w + h = 110000

but w = 2h - 16000

We can turn it into..

2h - 16000 + h = 110000

Which we can then combine into..

3h - 16000 = 110000

Add 16000 and..

3h = 126000

Divide by three...

h = 42000

(nice)

The husband earns 42,000$ a year

Bonus: The wife then earns 68,000$

42,000 (or h) + 68,000 (or w) = 110,000

Because this is the original equation, we are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number of blueberries is the x value, and number of calories is the y value, then we can create the ordered pairs (5,4) (10,8) (15,12) based on the data in the table.

Plotting these on the graph is simple - just go to the x value then the y value and plot where these lines meet.

The slope of a line is always the rise over run.

Every time our x increases by 5, our y increases by 4. The rise is 4, and run is 5, so the slope is $\frac{4}{5}$
