Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the "Y" values from the ordered pairs -1 - (-7)= 6

Subtract the "X" values from the ordered pairs 1-5 = -4

Remember slope is rise over run or y over x so the answer is -6/4 or -3/2 reduced

I always bring my negative to the top after I finish solving

Since you didn't provide the choices your answer is either going to be 3/-2 or -3/2 depending if your teacher makes you bring the negative to the top

Answer:

-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for slope is y1-y2/x1-x2

where

y1 is the first point's y coordinate

x1 is the first point's x coordinate

y2 is the second point's y coordinate

x2 is the second point's y coordinate

so now we can plug our points in

-1-(-7)/1-5

6/-4

simplify

-3/2

Kyle asks his friend Jane to guess his age and his grandmother’s age. Kyle says his grandmother is not more than 80 years old. H

The incorrect inequality is g > 80. The symbol ">" means greater than. So g > 80 would translate to meaning Kyle's grandmother is greater than 80. However, the problem states that his grandmother is not more than 80, meaning she is either 80 or younger. So the inequality should be g ≤ 80, or Kyle's grandmother is less than or equal to 80 years of age.
