slope is 1/3

Explanation: $\text{The given points: (-5,4) and (1, 6)}$

We apply the slope formula:

$slope=m\text{ = }\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ $\begin{gathered} x_1=-5,y_1=4,x_2=1,y_2\text{ = }6 \\ m\text{ = }\frac{6\text{ - 4}}{1\text{ - (-5)}} \\ m\text{ }=\text{ }\frac{2}{1+5} \\ \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} m\text{ = 2/6} \\ m\text{ = 1/3} \\ \\ \text{Hence, slope is 1/3} \end{gathered}$

Answer:

<h2><u>The amount paid to an employee was </u><u>162</u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>The expression 12h + 30w Identifies the amount paid to an employee.</u></h2><h2><u>Let h represent hours and let w represent the total amount of g-wagons sold. </u></h2><h2><u>Since the question explains that an employee works 6 hours and sells 3 wagons, put h as h = 6 and w as w = 3. We would end up getting this equation. 12h + 30w = 12(6) + 30(3).</u></h2><h2><u>Now all you need to do is solve it.</u></h2><h2><u>left side = 72</u></h2><h2><u>right side = 90</u></h2><h2><u>72 + 90 =</u><u> 162</u></h2>

Kyle divided two numbers in scientific notation using the interactive calculator and found a solution of 3.5E4. If the numerator

Maru [420]

Answer:

a=2, b=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

n -----> the denominator

we have

$3.5*10^4=\frac{7*10^9}{n}$

Solve for n

That means -----> isolate the variable n

Multiply by n both sides

$3.5*10^4(n)=7*10^9$

Divide by 3.5*10^4 both sides

$n=\frac{7*10^9}{3.5*10^4}=(\frac{7}{3.5})(\frac{10^9}{10^4})=2*10^5$

therefore

a=2, b=5

A company that manufactures storage bins for grains made a drawing of a silo. The silo has a conical base, as shown below:

sasho [114]

To find the volume of this storage bin, you will use the formula for volume of a cylinder and of a cone.

V = Bh (cylinder)
Pi x r^2 x h
Pi x 2^2 x 10

V = 1/3 x pi x r^2 x h
1/3 x pi x 2^2 x 3

All of these choices show correct answers!

Mumz [18]

<h3>Answer: 95 degrees</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

I recommend drawing it out to see what's going on. See the drawing below.

In the diagram, both angles are in the northeast corner of their four-corner configurations. They are both congruent corresponding angles. So that's why the second angle is also 95 degrees.

Side note: we could replace "northeast" with any of the other directions on the compass (such as southwest). All that matters is that they are in the same configuration.
