8 0

Answer:

The number of shots Nick sunk was 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> number of shots that Nick sunk.

y -----> number of shots Nick missed

we know that

x+y=28

y=28-x -----> equation A

5x-2y=0 ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B and solve for x

5x-2(28-x)=0

5x-56+2x=0

7x=56

x=8

Find the value of y

y=28-x ----> y=28-8=20

therefore

The number of shots Nick sunk was 8

What is the slope of the graph?
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer: The slope is \frac{3}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line can be calculated with the following formula:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Observe the graph provided in the exercise.

You can notice that these two points are on the line:

(2,3) and (7,6)

Then you can identify that:

y_2=3\\y_1=6\\\\x_2=2\\x_1=7

Knowing these coordinates, you can substitute values into the formula for calculate the slope.

Then, you get that the slope of the graph is:

m=\frac{3-6}{2-7}\\\\m=\frac{-3}{-5}\\\\m=\frac{3}{5}
