Fernando evaluated the expression below. StartFraction 5 (9 minus 5) over 2 EndFraction + (negative 2) (negative 5) + (negative 3) squared = StartFraction 5 (4) over 2 EndFraction minus 10 + 9 = StartFraction 20 over 2 EndFraction minus 10 + 9 = 10 minus 10 + 9 = 9. What was Fernando's error?

Fernando incorrectly found the product of –2 and –5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fernando evaluated the numerator of the fraction incorrectly.

Fernando simplified StartFraction 20 over 2 EndFraction incorrectly.

Fernando incorrectly found the product of –2 and –5.

Fernando evaluated (negative 3) squared incorrectly.

Fernando's calculation

5(9-5) / 2 + (-2)(-5) + (-3)^2

= 5(4) / 2 - 10 + 9

= 20/2 - 10 + 9

= 10 - 10 + 9

= 9

Correct calculation

5(9-5) / 2 + (-2)(-5) + (-3)^2

= 5(4) / 2 + (10) + 9

= 20/2 + 10 + 9

= 10 + 10 + 9

= 29

Therefore,

Fernando's error was multiplying (-2)(-5) to be equal to -10 instead of 10

Fernando incorrectly found the product of –2 and –5.

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)
