Answer: 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope, you want to take the two points and plug it into the formula 
. That will find the slope. The points are (-5,-4) and (-1,2).
Now, we know that the slope is 
.
Answer:
36 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
12 inches equals 1 foot
There is 3 feet in a yard
2 yards equals 6 feet
1 yard equals 36 inches
Answer:
1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
x-8y=-1
First, put the equation in slope intercept form ( y= mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept)
-8y = -x-1
y = 1/8x +1/8
The slope is 1/8 and the y intercept is 1/8
The slope for parallel lines is the same for all parallel lines
1/8
![\frac{9(14+16)*2-(8*4+12*9)}{40} \\ \frac{(9*2)(14+16)-[(8*4)+(12*9)]}{40}\\ \frac{(18*30)-(32+108)}{40}\\ \frac{540-140}{40}\\ \frac{400}{40}\\ 10](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B9%2814%2B16%29%2A2-%288%2A4%2B12%2A9%29%7D%7B40%7D%20%5C%5C%0A%5Cfrac%7B%289%2A2%29%2814%2B16%29-%5B%288%2A4%29%2B%2812%2A9%29%5D%7D%7B40%7D%5C%5C%0A%5Cfrac%7B%2818%2A30%29-%2832%2B108%29%7D%7B40%7D%5C%5C%0A%5Cfrac%7B540-140%7D%7B40%7D%5C%5C%0A%5Cfrac%7B400%7D%7B40%7D%5C%5C%0A10)
So the expression is equal to
10.
