<u>We know that:</u>
Slope of a line = change in y coordinate / change in x coordinate
<u>We are given:</u>
First point = (2,5)
Second point = (5, 14)
<u>Calculating the change in y coordinate:</u>
change in y (also represented by Δy) = second y - first y
Δy = 14 - 5
Δy = 9
<u>Calculating the change in x coordinate:</u>
Δx = second x - first x
Δx = 5 - 2
Δx = 3
<u>Slope of the line:</u>
Slope = (Δy) / (Δx)
Slope = 9 / 3 [replacing the values]
Slope = 3
5 because it says 11-16 which is one number before 15. dollars
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I answered another one of your questions so I will not explain as much. ther are 12 inches in a foot and then 5280 feet in a mile so that's 1 ft/ 12 in and 1 mi/ 5280 ft. So the math is 20 in * 1 ft/ 12 in * 1 mi/ 5280 ft = .000315 mi.
In reference to the last one, do keep in mind "square" inches and whatnot mean you square things. so 1 ft/ 12 in becomes 1 ft^2/ 144 in^2. Just as a small heads up to what could be tricky.
-5(2x+1)-2x-2=17
first, distribute
-10x-5-2x-2=17
combine like terms
-12x-7=17
get the x alone, eliminate the constant
-12x=24
divide out the -12 to get the x alone.
x=-2
