The slope of line through given points is -12/29

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are:

(-26, -37) and (32, -61)

Let

(x1,y1) =(-26, -37)

And

(x2,y2) = (32, -61)

Slope (steepness) of a line, denoted by m, is given by the formula

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

Putting the values

$m = \frac{-61-(-37)}{32-(-26)}\\\\=\frac{-61+37}{32+26}\\\\=\frac{-24}{58}\\\\=-\frac{12}{29}$

Hence,

The slope of line through given points is -12/29

Tim has read 10% of a book. He has 45 more pages to finish. How many pages are there in the book?

Monica [59]

if Tim has read 10% of the book, that means he still hasn't read 90% of it yet, and we know that that 90% is 45 pages, so say the book has a total amount of pages of "x", which is 100%.

$\begin{array}{ccll} pages&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 45&90\\ x&100 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{45}{x}=\cfrac{90}{100}\implies \cfrac{45}{x}=\cfrac{9}{10} \\\\\\ 450=9x\implies \cfrac{450}{9}=x\implies 50=x$
