Answer:

$-\frac15$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

We can utilize the slope formula to find the slope.

Slope Formula: $S = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Remember that a coordinate is written in the form (x,y)

<h3>Find the Slope</h3>

$S = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$
$S = \frac{-4-(-2)}{5-(-5)}$
$S = \frac{-2}{10}$
$S = -\frac15$

The slope of the line is $-\frac15$ .

Answer:

-1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Plug in these values:

(-4 - (-2)) / (5 - (-5))

Simplify the parentheses.

= (-4 + 2) / (5 + 5)

= -2 / 10

Simplify the fraction.

-2/10

= -1/5

This is your slope.

In three bowling games,David scored 139,143, and 144. What score will David need in the fourth game in order to have an average

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Let's find out.

David needs to score an average of 145 across all four games, so first we do:

145 × 4 = 580

Then we add all the scores he currently has:

139 + 143 + 144 = 426

Then we subtract 426 from 580 to find out how much he needs to score for his fourth:

580 - 426 = 154

David needs to score 154 on his 4th game to have an average score of 145 for all 4 games.
