Answer:

r = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is given by

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

1/2 = (4-r)/(10 - -6)

1/2 = (4-r) (10+6)

1/2 =( 4-r) /16

Multiply each side by 16

16*1/2 = 4-r

8 = 4-r

Subtract 4 from each side

8-4= 4-r-4

4 = -r

Multiply each side by -1

-4 = r

½ = (r - 4)/(-6 - 10)

½ = (r - 4)/(-16)

r - 4 = -8

r = -4

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Cooper needs 39.8 mL milk for his recipe

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B be the quantity of butter

and

m be the quantity of milk

<u>So according to given statement the whole mixture measures 70.4 mL while butter measures 30.6mL</u>

so,

B+m = 70.4

30.6 + m = 70.4

m = 70.4 - 30.6

m = 39.8 mL

Cooper needs 39.8 mL milk for his recipe ..

Sameera predicted that she would sell 38 blankets, but she actually sold 28 blankets. Which expression would find the percent er

antoniya [11.8K]

Solution: We are given:

Predicted Sales by Sameera $=38$

Actual Sales by Sameera $=28$

Now to find the Percent error, we have to use the below formula:

$Percent-Error= \frac{|Predicted-value - Actual-value|}{Actual-value} \times 100 \%$

$=\frac{|38-28|}{28} \times 100 \%$

$=\frac{10}{28}\times 100 \%$

$=35.71 \%$

Therefore, the percent error is $35.71 \%$

The system shown has the unique solution (2, y, z). Solve the system and select the values that complete the solution. y = 0 y =

madreJ [45]

So we are given a system:
$3x-2y+3z=0\\
-3x - 5y - 5z= -21$
Substitute x = 2 we get the system:
$-2y+3z=-6\\
- 5y - 5z= -15$
Multiply the first equation by -5 and the second by 2 we get the system:
$10y-15z=30\\
- 10y - 10z= -30$
Adding the two equations we get :
$-25z=0\text{ then}z=0.$
We find the value of y by using any of the other equations like this:
$-2y=-6\\y=3.$
Final solution:
$z=0,y=3$
