Hello LovingAngel!
To find the slope, you can use the formulas

as well as

. I am using the latter to calculate and ensuring my answer with the former.
[Note: (x,y) is the format for ordered pairs]
First pair: value 1:(1,5) and value 2:(2,8)

->

->

or 3.
The slope for (1,5) and (2,8) is 3(/1). Second pair: value 1: (3,1) value 2 (3,-1)

->

->
Slope for the second pair is -2/0Checking work with

1. Slope: 3/1, meaning rise (y) +3 and run (x) +1. (1,5) -> (1+1,5 + 3) -> (2,8) ✔
2. Slope: -2/0, meaning rise (y) -2/drop (y) 2 and run 0. (3,1) -> (3 + 0, 1 + -2) -> (3,-1) <span>✔</span>
So if I understand correctly, she had 7 1/8 pounds of birdseed and used 3/8 pound.
Convert the 7 1/8 to an improper fraction [(8*7)+1]/8 =57/8
57/8 - 3/8 = 54/8, which is 6 6/8 which reduces to 6 3/4 pounds left
If she had 7 pounds of birdseed and used 3/8 pounds, you need to find a common denominator to subtract if you can't do it in your head. 8 would be the common denominator, so:
56/8 - 3/8 = 53/8, which is 6 5/8 pounds left
Answer:
3x+3+2x-8 = 180
5x-5 =180
x= 37

If you wanted the next larger size you would multiply the known size by the scale factor
to find the smaller size divide the known size by the scale factor:
2.863 / 1.42 = 2.016 ( rounded to the thousandth)
