Answer:

slope = difference_in_y/difference_in_x

= (-1 - -7)/(3 - 1)

= 6/2

= 3

Answer:

<h2>The answer is - 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1} \\$

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(3, −7) and (−1, 1)

The slope is

$m = \frac{1 - - 7}{ - 1 - 3} = \frac{1 + 7}{ - 4} = - \frac{8}{4} = - 2 \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In A, it says that 9s +7c can be lower or equal to 160. This is wrong.

In C, it says that 9s +7c can only be higher than 160, when the question says at least, which means it can also be equal to 160, making it wrong.

In D, it says that 9s +7c can be lower or equal to 20. This is wrong.

Through elimination, only B can be right.

5/6-1/9=?/?-?/? =13/18

15/18 - 2/18 = 13/18

Find the least common multiple of 6 and 9. The LCM is 18. In order to get 18 on the denominator with 6, you have to multiply by 3 because 6 times 3 is 18. You have to multiply 3 to the numerator, so 5 times 3 is 15. Thus, the first fraction is 15/18. To get the second, you need to find what would get you 18 on the denominator with 9. You need 2, so 9 times 2 is 18. You have to multiply 2 to the numerator, so 1 times 2 is 2. Thus, the second fraction is 2/18.
