$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&({{ 8}}\quad ,&{{ 8}})\quad 
% (c,d)
&({{ 12}}\quad ,&{{ 6}})
\end{array}
\\\quad \\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{6-8}{12-8}$

Slope = y2-y1/x2-x1
m= 6-8/12-8
slope (m) = -1/2

A pet store holds training classes for dogs. The store has two different training programs. The first program charges a $35 memb

GrogVix [38]

The programs cost the same for 7 classes.

Given, no. of classes is represented by c, no. of dogs is represented by d, no. of hours is represented by h, the no. of programs is represented by p and the total cost is represented by t.

The first program charges $35 membership fee and $5 for each class.

The second program charges only $10 for each class.

Now the total cost say $t_{1}$ , for first program can be written in equation form as,
