3/20, or 0.15 of the shirts each evening
1 - 1/4 = 3/4
(3/4) / 5 = (3/4) / (5/1) = (3/4) x (1/5) = 3/20 = 0.15
m=-(5/4)
From left to right, (1,3) is first and then comes (5,-2). Always remember when finding slopes without equations, the rule is RISE over RUN, to the numerator and denominator, respectively.
The y value of the second coordinates becomes negative which is unlike the y value in the first coordinates, which means our slope is downward, meaning it has a negative sign in front.
In every slope, there’s a numerator, being the rise, and a denominator, being the run.
To find the rise, we must look at the y values. Starting at 3 going to -2 has a space of 5 units, making that our numerator.
To find the run, the first x value is 1 and the second is 5, making a space of 4, which is out denominator.
With these two numbers and the negative sign, we get -(5/4) as our slope.
If you would like to evaluate 6 * [5 * (3 - 9) - 1] + 2 / 7 * (8 - 2) + 4, you can calculate this using the following steps:
6 * [5 * (3 - 9) - 1] + 2 / 7 * (8 - 2) + 4 = 6 * [5 * (-6) - 1] + 2/7 * 6 + 4 = 6 * [- 30 - 1] + 12/7 + 4 = 6 * [- 31] + 12/7 + 4 = - 186 + 12/7 + 4 = - 182 + 12/7 = - 1274/7 + 12/7 = - 1262/7
The correct result would be - 1262/7.
2*(x-5) = -33, so x-5 = -16.5, so x = -11.5
This is assuming that "the difference between a and b" is a-b, which seems to be the accepted interpretation.
