If the ratio is 4:1 , pencils being the 4 and erasers being the 1, there are 4 pencils for every 1 eraser. Now, substitute the 4 pencils for 20 pencils. How do you get to 20 from 4? multiply by 5. You multiply the 4 pencils by 5 to get 20, and u multiply the 1 eraser by 5 to get 5, so there are 20 pencils: 5 erasers

Find the slope of the line through
Dafna11 [192]
When finding the slope between two points, we simply take (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
For this, we can substitute the following to get this :
y2-y1 and x2-x1
1 - 4 and 7 - 1
-3 and 6
-3 / 6 gets you -1/2

Therefore the answer is :
The slope of the line is -1/2

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (4,-5) and (-2,7)
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

y = -2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y2 - y1/ x2 - x1

7 - (-5) / -2 - 4

-2

The slope is -2.

To find the y-intercept, you need to plug the coordinates into the equation.

y = -2x + b

7 = -2(-2) + b

7 = 4 + b

3 = b

y = -2x + 3
