Slope, commonly represented by the letter m, is a value that describes the steepness and direction of a line. The slope of a line is also called its gradient or rate of change.

It is the vertical change in y divided by the horizontal change in x, sometimes called rise over run. The slope formula uses two points, $(x_{1}, y_{1} )$ and $(x_{2}, y_{2} )$ , to calculate the change in y over the change in x.

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$ where

$x_{1} = 1$

$y_{1} = 0$

$x_{2} = 3$

$y_{2} = 8$

Substituting the values,

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} } =\frac{8-0}{3-1} =\frac{8}{2}=4$

Hence, he slope of the line passing through (1 , 0) and (3 , 8) is 4.

If the ratio of men to women is 3:2 and there are 120 men, how many women would there be?

zavuch27 [327]

There would be 80 women.
Here's the work:
120 divided by 3 = 40
If the ratio is 3:2, there is always one less woman then men, so you subtract the 40 men in a group and you get your answer of 80

Hope I helped!! :)
