Answer:
The difference in cost, in dollars, per ounce between the two boxes of cereal is $0.06.
Step-by-step explanation:
☆Let's solve using proportion.
☆One box:
☆Another box:
☆All we need to do is subtract:
☆The difference in cost, in dollars, per ounce between the two boxes of cereal is $0.06.
The side that corresponds with side AB is side DE
One least common denominator can be 2
I'm assuming there is probably a graph that goes with this problem so here is all the info I can give you with the four choices:
If it is -1/3, the line will go DOWN 1, over 3 (just count on the graph)
If it is 3, the line will go UP 3, over 1
If it is 1/3, the line will go UP 1, over 3
And if it it -3, it will go DOWN 3, over 1
(If the slope is 3 or -3, it would be quite steep compared to a slope of 1/3 or -1/3)
Hope that helps!
Answer:
the second option is the correct one
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in point- slope form is
y - b = m(x - a)
where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line
To calculate m use the slope formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, - 1)
m = = =
Use either of the 2 points as (a, b)
using (- 4, - 1), then
y- (- 1) = (x - (- 4)), that is
y + 1 = (x + 4)
