Find the slope of the line that contains the points (1,-1) and (-2,8)

1 answer:

4 0

The formula for slope is (y-y1)/(x-x1).
1 = x
-1 = y
-2 = x2
8 = y2

You would plug those into the formula: (-1-(-2))/(-1-8) and that would equal to: 1/(-9).

Mrs.Manning is making cookies for the bake sale. She jas 3/4 cup of flour and needs 1/3 cup of flour for her chocolate chip cook

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The fraction of the flour Mrs. Mannng will use for her chocolate chip cookies is 4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction of Portion

Suppose we have a number n and another number m such as m>n. The portion or fraction of size n of m is given by the quotient n/m.

For example, 3 pieces of cake out of a total of 6 make them a fraction of 3/6 = 1/2 of the whole cake, i.e. half of the total available.

Mrs. Manning needs 1/3 cup of flour to make cookies for the bake sale. She actually has 3/4 cups of flour. Calculate the fraction of needed against the available flour:

$\displaystyle \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{3}{4}}$
