Find the slope of the line that contains the
point (4, −9) and has a y intercept of 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line with slope of m and y-intercept of b is: y = mx + b

b = 2 and line contains the point (4, -9), so:

-9 = m×4 + 2          {subtract 2 from both sides}

-11 = 4m                   {divide booth sides by 4

m = -¹¹/₄

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
