Answer:

The slope is -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two points on a line, we can find the slope from

y = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (8-9)/(5-3)

=-1/2

Answer: x = 108

Given the below equation

x + 13 1/2 = 121 1/2

Firstly, we need to convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction

$\begin{gathered} x\text{ + 13}\frac{1}{2}\text{ = 121 }\frac{1}{2} \\ 13\frac{1}{2}\text{ = }\frac{(2\text{ x 13) + 1}}{2} \\ 13\text{ }\frac{1}{2}\text{ = }\frac{26\text{ + 1}}{2} \\ 13\frac{1}{2}\text{ = }\frac{27}{2} \\ 121\frac{1}{2}\text{ = }\frac{(2\text{ x 121) + 1}}{2} \\ 121\frac{1}{2}\text{ = }\frac{243}{2} \\ \text{Therefore, the new equation becomes} \\ x\text{ + }\frac{27}{2}\text{ = }\frac{243}{2} \\ \text{Isolate x} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{243}{2}\text{ - }\frac{27}{2} \\ \text{Common denominator = 2} \\ x=\text{ }\frac{243\text{ - 27}}{2} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{216}{2} \\ x\text{ = 108} \end{gathered}$
