Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
The line has a "rise" between the two points of -4 units for a "run" of +1 unit. The slope is the ratio ...
m = rise/run = -4/1 = -4.
The slope is -4.

<em>Additional comment</em>
A "whole number" must be non-negative. Here, the slope is negative. If you're restricted to "a fraction or a whole number", then the appropriate answer is the fraction -4/1. We suspect that "integer" is meant where "whole number" is used.
First you have to make both fractions have the same denominator, so you can multiply each fraction by the others denominator.
5/8
To
(5*6)/(8*6)
And
1/6
To
(1*8)/(6*8)
Now it's 6 30/48 - 2 8/48
= 4 22/48
Now reduce to
= 4 11/24
So, 4 11/24 is the answer
I ain't Joseph but what's wrong?
let the other number be " n "
now, according to above condition :
therefore, the other number would be 23.
That's an expression, so the only thing you can do is simplify it, but that already looks simplified.
