Need 78 pieces of wood 29 cm long. Boards are 6 m long. How many boards are needed?

Wittaler [7]

I believe the answer is 4 because 6m/29= 20.6897 and so then you do 20.6897 x 3= 62.0691. So 3 is too small so do 20.6897x 4= <span>82.7588. 82 >78 so the answer is that you need 4 boards.

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-3, 5) and (1, 7)?

Stells [14]

Answer: The slope of the line is $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line can be calculated with the following formula:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Then, given the points $(-3, 5)$ and $(1, 7)$ , you can identify that:

$y_2=5\\y_1=7\\\\x_2=-3\\x_1=1$

Knowing these values you can substitute them into the formula for calculate the slope:

$m=\frac{5-7}{-3-1}$

Finally, evaluating, you get that the slope of that line is:

$m=\frac{-2}{-4}\\\\m=\frac{1}{2}$
