Answer:

m = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move from point (1,4) to point (3,-8), x increases by 2 and y decreases by 12. Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -12/2 = -6.

Answer: ⁻6 is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope use the slope equation: m=y₁-y₂/x₁-x₂

Sub: m= ⁻8-4/3-1

Solve: m= ⁻12/2

Sam: m= ⁻6/1 or -6

An oblique prism has trapezoidal bases and a vertical height of 10 units. An oblique trapezoidal prism is shown. The trapezoid h

denis23 [38]

Answer:

volume of trapezoidal prism = 15x^2 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

First, area of the trapezoidal bases.

Parallel sides measure x and 2x, for an average of 1.5x.

Height = x

Area of trapezoidal base = 1.5x*x = 1.5x^2

Volume of prism = area base * height

(length does not matter, height does)

= 1.5x^2 * 10 = 15x^2

What is the solution to this system of equations? Y= 2x - 3.5 x - 2y = -14

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

x=7

y=10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You can apply the method of substitution, as you can see below:

- Substitute $y=2x-3.5$ into the other equation and solve fo x:

$x-2(2x-3.5)=-14\\x-4x+7=-14\\x=7$

- Substitute the value of x obtain into the first equation, then the value of y is:

$y=2(7)-3.5\\y=10.5$

The value in dollars,v(x),of a certain truck after x years is represented by the equation v(x)=32,500(0.92)^x.To the nearest dol

Vika [28.1K]

Answer: $2193

Step-by-step explanation:

v(x) = 32,500 $(.92)^{x}$

Plug two and three in for x

v(2) = 32,500 $(.92)^{2}$

v(2) = 32,500(.8464)

v(2) = 27,500

v(3) = 32,500 $(.92)^{3}$

v(3) = 32,500(.778688)

v(3) = 25,307.36

Subtract v(3) from v(2)

27,500 - 25,307.36 = 2192.64

Round to the nearest dollar to get $2193
