Answer:

3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the slope of a straight line through points (-5,-10) and (-1,5).

Now. we know the slope of a straight line through the points (x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2}) is given by [\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1}} ].

So, in our case (x_{1},y_{1}) ≡ (-5,-10) and (x_{2},y_{2}) ≡ (-1,5).  

Therefore, the slope of the line is \frac{5 - (- 10)}{- 1 - (- 5)} = \frac{15}{4} = 3.75 (Answer)

If 15% of the customer's total is $22.05, then the customer's total is
Harrizon [31]

<u>Answer</u>:  If 15% of the customer's total is $22.05, then the customer's total is <u>$147</u>.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Let x be the customer's total amount.

It is given that 15% of the customer's total = $22.05

⇒15% of x= $22.05

\Rightarrow0.15x=\$22.05\\\\\text{Divide 0.15 on both sides, we get}\22.05\\\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{22.05}{0.15}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\$147

Therefore, If 15% of the customer's total is $22.05, then the customer's total is <u>$147</u>.

The table represents the height of a ball thrown up from the roof of a building, h(t), in meters, t seconds after it is thrown u
Anna [14]
• The ball is at the same height as the building between 8 and 10 seconds after it is thrown. TRUE - the height is zero somewhere in that interval, hence the ball is the same height from which it was thrown, the height of the roof of the building.

• The height of the ball decreases and then increases. FALSE - at t=2, the height is greater than at t=0.

• The ball reaches its maximum height about 4 seconds after it is thrown. TRUE - the largest number in the table corresponds to t=4.

• The ball hits the ground between 8 and 10 seconds after it is thrown. FALSE - see statement 1.

• The height of the building is 81.6 meters. FALSE - the maximum height above the building is 81.6 meters. Since the ball continues its travel to a distance 225.6 meters below the roof of the building, the building is at least that high.


1. TRUE
2. False
3. TRUE
4. False
5. False

Jesse and Mark are jogging along the route shown at a rate of 12 miles per hour. They start by jogging south along Capitol Stree
Ilya [14]
The hypotenuse of the way that they have taken is equal to 2 miles. Jogging this distance with a rate of 5 miles per hour will take Jesse 0.4 hours. Further, for Mark to be back to the starting point, the total distance covered is 2.75. Dividing the distance by 12 miles per hour, it will take Mark only 0.23 hours. Thus, Mark will reach the initial point first.
