Answer: -3/12

Step-by-step explanation:

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$ m represents the slope

(-9,-6) -9= x1 -6=y1 (3,-9) 3=x2 -9=y2

plug them in

$m=\frac{-9--6}{3--9}$

two negatives make a positive

$m=\frac{-9+6}{3+9}$

simplify

$m=\frac{-3}{12}$

this is your slope: -3/12

I hope this is correct and helped you! :)

Select each unit fraction. A. 6 6 B. 1 8 C. 2 4 D. 1 3 E. 3 4

Drupady [299]

No unit fractions are shown. (Sometimes editing is required when you copy and paste your question text.)

Selections B and D have 1 as their first digit. We suspect those are supposed to be the unit fractions 1/8 and 1/3, respectively.

Find each quotient. Write in simplest form. keep answer as fraction - not decimal

kirill [66]

So we are given the expression:

$\frac{mn^{2}}{4}$ ÷ $\frac{m^{2}n}{8}$

When we divide fractions, we must flip the second term and change the sign to multiplication:

$\frac{mn^{2}}{4} *\frac{8}{m^{2}n}$

And then we multiply across:

$\frac{mn^{2}}{4} *\frac{8}{m^{2}n}= \frac{8mn^{2}}{4m^{2}n}$

Then we can break apart all of the like variables for simplification:

$\frac{8mn^{2}}{4m^{2}n}=\frac{8}{4} * \frac{m}{m^{2}} *\frac{n^{2}}{n}$

When we simplify variables through division, we subtract the exponent of the numerator from the exponent of the denominator. So we then have:

$\frac{8}{4} =2$

$\frac{m}{m^{2}}=m^{-1} =\frac{1}{m}$

$\frac{n^{2}}{n}=n^{1}=\frac{n}{1}$

So then we multiply all of these simplified parts together:

$\frac{2}{1}*\frac{1}{m}*\frac{n}{1} =\frac{2n}{m}$

So now we know that the simplified form of the initial expression is: $\frac{2n}{m}$ .
