Answer:

$\huge\boxed{slope=-\dfrac{3}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points (2, 3) and (-4, 12).

Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{12-3}{-4-2}=\dfrac{9}{-6}=-\dfrac{9:3}{6:3}=-\dfrac{3}{2}$

Brett has 2 1/2 pounds of bird seed left to share equally among 4 bird cages in his pet shop. How many pounds can he put in each

Ksju [112]

Answer:

Brett can put $\frac{5}{8}$ = 0.625 pounds in each bird cage.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of bird seed left = $2\frac{1}{2}$ pounds

= $\frac{5}{2}$ pounds

Number of birds in pet shop = 4

So, the share of each bird = $\frac{\textrm{Total available seeds}}{\textrm{Total number of birds in the pet shop}}$

= $\frac{\frac{5}{2} }{4} = \frac{5}{2} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{8}$

Hence, Brett can put $\frac{5}{8}$ = 0.625 pounds in each bird cage.
