Apassenger rode the subway 2 blocks west and then 10 blocks south. if all the blocks are the same length, what is the value of the slope of the line from where the passenger began to where he finished? 2 ,5,10, 12

its 10/2 rise over run and just simplified its 5/1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let positive x axis represent east and positive y axis represent north.

A passenger rode the subway 2 blocks west and then 10 blocks south.

First displacement is 2 blocks west = - 2 i

Second displacement is 10 blocks south = -10 j

Total displacement = -2 i - 10 j

Slope of line

The value of the slope of the line from where the passenger began to where he finished = 5

since your problem is x^4 = 81, what you have to undeo is the "to the fourth power" part.

the inverse (opposite operation) of "to the fourth power" is "to the fourth root".

  (x^4) ^ ¼   = 81 ^ ¼  

  81 = 3^4     so (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ 1   = 3

by hand: (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ (4 x ¼) = 3 ^ 1   = 3   (when you take a power to a power, multiply the exponents.)

or, do it by calculator. one way of finding the fourth root is to use ^ (1/4)
