Hi there!

Since the slope of the line is any two coordinate points on the line solved by the formula y2 - y1 / x2 - x1, we can follow this formula:

1 - -5
= 1 + 5
= 6

2 - -4
= 2 + 4
= 6

= 6/6
= 1

So, the slope would be 1.

Hope this helps!

$\text{Slope =} \dfrac{1+5}{2+4} = \dfrac{6}{6} = 1$

The ratio of quarters to dimes in a coin collection is 5:3. You add the same number of new quarters as dimes

The ratio of quarters to dimes is not still 5 : 3

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that ratio of quarters to dimes in a coin collection is 5:3 .

You add same number of new quarters as dimes to the collection .

Need to check if ratio of quarters to dimes is still 5 : 3

As ratio of dimes and quarters is 5 : 3

lets assume initially number of quarters = 5x and number of dimes = 3x.

Now add same number of new quarters as dimes to the collection

Let add "x" number of quarters and "x" number of dimes

So After adding,

Number of quarters = initially number of quarters + added number of quarters = 5x + x = 6x

Number of dimes = initially number of dimes + added number of dimes

= 3x + x = 4x

New ratio of quarters to dimes is 6x : 4x = 3 : 2

So we have seen here ratio get change when same number of new quarters and dimes is added to the collection

Ratio get change from 5 : 3 when same number of new quarters and dimes is added to the collection and new ratio will depend on number of quarters and dimes added to collection.

Step 1. Simplify 6 - 4(-x-9)-5 to -4(-x-9) + 1

4 - 5(2x + 11) + 6x = -4(-x-9) + 1
