Since 16 ounces equal 1 pound, we’ll add 16 + 16, which is 32 ounces. For one half of a pound, simply divide the amount of ounces in a pound (16) by half. 16 divided by 2 is 8, so in total your answer would be 40 ounces in 2 1/2 pounds.
M= the change in y over the change in x so you would do 1-4 over 13-(-2) which gives you -3 over 15 which is simplified to give you the answer which is -1/5.
