The entire picture is needed to solve. the bottom of the pic is cut off
D is your answer because the bar is 4 and you must have an equal amount of plates on each side so it cannot be B. It goes up by 40 because of 2 plates on each side of the bar
Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
The line has a "rise" between the two points of -4 units for a "run" of +1 unit. The slope is the ratio ...
m = rise/run = -4/1 = -4.
The slope is -4.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
A "whole number" must be non-negative. Here, the slope is negative. If you're restricted to "a fraction or a whole number", then the appropriate answer is the fraction -4/1. We suspect that "integer" is meant where "whole number" is used.
1 = 1 x 10 exponent 0
27.5 = 2.75 x 10 exponent 1
