Hi there!

Craig's reason is not reasonable because when you add fractions you have to find equivalent fractions.

The total distance in miles would be 1 1/8 miles.

By using a number line, line up the fractions, so then you could add them both.

Hope this helps :)

Determined to find the slope<br>(1 7K), and (-3,5K)​
Helga [31]

Answer: \dfrac{K}{2} .

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know ,

The slope of a line that passes through (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)  is given by :

\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

The slope of a line that passes through (1 , 7K), and (-3,5K)​ =

\dfrac{5K-7K}{-3-1}\\\\=\dfrac{-2K}{-4}\\\\=\dfrac{K}{2}

Hence, the slope of the given line is \dfrac{K}{2} .
