Answer:

1/2 is the slope of the line

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope, use the following equation

slope (m) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

First, set each coordinate. Let:

(x₁ , y₁) = (8 , -6)

(x₂ , y₂) = (4 , -8)

Plug in the corresponding numbers for the corresponding variables.

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

m = (-8 - (-6))/(4 - 8)

Simplify. Note that two negative signs would result in a positive sign.

m = (-8 + 6)/(4 - 8)

Combine like terms.

m = -2/-4

Simplify. Divide common factors from both the numerator and denominator.

m = (-2/-4)/(-2/-2) = 1/2

1/2 is the slope of the line

 Jeremy and Randell are brothers and each are trying to raise money for summer camp.
To help Jeremy raise money, his parents told him he could wash each of their cars once a week for $20.00 each. He has already earned $640.00. The football camp that he wants to attend costs $1,469.00.
To help Randell raise money, his parents told him he could mow the grass for them and both sets of grandparents once every 2 weeks and earn $28.00 for each lawn he mows. He has already earned $728.00. The lacrosse camp that he wants to attend costs $1,701.00.
If Jeremy and Randell each earn enough money to attend the camps of their choice, then from this point on (randell) needs to complete (idk what would got here) more chores than(jeremy)

is it asking you to fill in the blanks with their names if so i think it would be this.
