Answer:

slope = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 7)

m = \frac{7-1}{2+1} = \frac{6}{3} = 2

Answer:

2 is your slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope. Use the slope-formula:

<em>m</em> (slope) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Let:

(x₁ , y₁) = (-1 , 1)

(x₂ , y₂) = (2 , 7)

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

<em>m </em>= (7 - 1)/(2 - (-1))

Simplify:

<em>m</em> = (6)/(2 + 1)

<em>m</em> = 6/3

<em>m </em>= 2

2 is your slope (or <em>rise</em> 2, <em>run </em>1).

 and  

Fred's age is 36 years old and Nathan's age is 9 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

f -----> Fred's age

n ----> Nathan's age

we know that

-----> equation A

----> equation B

equate the equations and solve for n

Find the value of f

therefore

Fred's age is 36 years old and Nathan's age is 9 years old

\bf \begin{array}{llll}&#10;-5x-y=5\\&#10;-5x+y=5\\&#10;-------\\&#10;-10x+0=10&#10;\end{array}\implies -10x=10\implies x=-1

so if x = -1, let's plug that in the second equation

-5(-1)+y = 5
5+y = 5
y = 0
