What is the slope of the line through the points (2, 10) and (5, 8)?

Mathematics

The slope of a line is calculated by dividing the one y portion of the line by one x portion of the line. In this problem we have two points which can indicate us one portion of the y axis and one portion of the x axis. If we have two points of one line, then we can calculate its slope:
Point one (x1, y1)
Point two (x2, y2)
then the slope can be calculated as:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

So lets use our data:
Point one (2, 10)
Point two (5, 8)
then the slope can be calculated as:
m = (8 - 10)/(5 - 2<span>)
</span>m = -2/3
therefore the slope is negative and is -2/3

aliya0001 [1]
20 minutes on passing .....40 minutes on shooting

ratio of time spent on shooting to passing....
these are not hard, u just have to pay attention to the wording...

the ratio of shooting to passing is 40/20 which reduces to 2/1 or 2:1 or
2 to 1 <===

but if it would have asked for passing to shooting, it would have been :
20/40 which reduces to 1/2 or 1:2 or 1 to 2

so ur answer is 2/1 or 2:1 or 2 to 1

drek231 [11]

The volume of the balloon is 500 cubic inches after 20 seconds

<h3>How to determine the volume?</h3>

From the given graph, we have:

  • Time on the x-axis
  • Volume on the y-axis

Also from the graph, we have:

V(20) = 500

This means that:

The volume of the balloon is 500 cubic inches after 20 seconds
