The slope of the line is -2

To find the slope of a line using two points, there are many formulas, however the easiest one to use is (rise/run)

The rise is the difference in the Y value and the run is the difference in the X value

(9-3)/(1-4) = (6/-3) = -6/3, which can be simplified to -2

Answer:

The slope is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line when we have 2 points, we use the formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (3-9)/(4-1)

= -6/3

-2

HELP .-. A painter bought 16 gallons of paint, just to cover two rooms. One room is twice the size of the other room and require

givi [52]

The total number of gallons of paint needed for the big room is 3x and the number of gallons of paint needed for the small room is 2y.
3x + 2y = 16
Given the sizes of the room, the relation should be that,
x = 2y
Solving the equation,
3(2y) + 2y = 16
y = 2
Therefore x is equal to 4 gallons.
With the condition that only the bigger room is painted, the number of gallons of paint used should be 12 gallons and what is left should be 4 gallons.

Answer:

8 cookies left to be baked

Step-by-step explanation:

Len

Len bakes 1/3 of 30 cookies

To find 1/3 of 30, divide 30 by 3 then multiply by 1:

$\implies \frac{30}{3} \times1=10 \times 1=10$

Therefore, Len bakes 10 cookies

Sallesh

Sallesh bakes 2/5 of 30 cookies

To find 2/5 of 30, divide 30 by 5 then multiply by 2:

$\implies \frac{30}{5} \times2=6 \times 2=12$

Therefore, Sallesh bakes 12 cookies

Cookies left to bake

To calculate how many cookies are left to bake, subtract the found number of cookies Len and Sallesh have baked from 30:

30 - 10 - 12 = 8

So there are 8 cookies left to be baked.
