Answer:

5/-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is rise/run.

If you graph this, the two points make a line that slopes downwards. The higher point is in the negative axis, which means that the run will be negative.

you rise up 15 points from the first point (1,-6) to get to the same level as the second point. (-8,9). This is your rise.

You go over to the other point, this is your run. The run is -9.

15/-9

we can simplify  this fraction.

5/-3 is your final answer.

A car owner buys diesel at rs 7.50, rs 8, rs 8.50 per litre for three successive years. what approximately is the average cost p
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Average cost per litre of diesel = rs 8.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount spent on diesel each year = rs 4000

Price of a litre of diesel in the first year = rs 7.50

Price of a litre of diesel in the second year = rs 8.00

Price of a litre of diesel in the third year = rs 8.50

Average cost per litre of diesel = \frac{p_{1} + p_{2} + p_{3}  }{n}

where n is the number of years.

Average cost per litre of diesel  =  \frac{7.5 + 8.00 + 8.50}{3}

                                                     = \frac{24}{3}

                                                     = 8

Average cost per litre of diesel is rs 8.00

So that he buys an average of 500 (i.e \frac{4000}{8}) litres every year.
