yards/costumes:16/(5/2) = X/(19/2)
Cross multiply.
(5/2)x = 152
Multiply both sides by 2/5.
x = 101 1/3 yards
You can use the equation to find the slope of a line given two points. This equation is y2 - y1 divided by x2 minus x1. The y2 is represented by the y coordinate of the second ordered pair, but it really doesn't matter, either way you get the same answer. The same way the x2 is represented by the x coordinate of the second ordered pair. For this problem, I will just use the normal coordinates. So the second y coordinate is 3. 3 -0 = 3. So your numerator is 3. The second x coordinate is 2. 2-0 = 2. So the denominator is 2. This is 3/2. So your slope would be 3/2. Hope this helps. :D Let me know if you didn't understand something in my explanation.
