Answer:
The slope of the equation is -3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Mr. Mole's burrow lies 5 meters below the ground. He started digging his way deeper into the ground, descending 3 meters each minute.
To find : What is the slope ?
Solution :
Let x be the number of minutes taken to dig the ground.
He started digging his way deeper into the ground, descending 3 meters each minute i.e. '-3x'
Let y is the total distance travel to dig the ground.
Mr. Mole's burrow lies 5 meters below the ground.
The equation form is
Comparing with general slope form i.e. where m is the slope.
The slope of the equation is -3.

Answer:
5 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of map distance to real distance is 1 in : 3 km meaning that 1 inch on the map describes 15 km in real life.
15 km is 5 times 3 km, so the map distance is 5 times 1 in., or 5 in.
1 in. x 5 : 3 km x 5
This is a "school math" problem where things come out nicely! Another way to look at this is with equivalent fractions.
"cross multiply"
