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

Answer:

240 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

One person hour is a unit indicating the rate at which one person is working on the project .

The company estimates that it will take 2880 person- hours to complete the job

So let's determine how many hours it will take 12 workers to complete same job

The rate = 2880 person/hour

12 persons or workers =( 2880 person/hour)/12 persons

12 persons or workers = 2880/12

12 persons or workers=240 hours

It will take 12 workers 240 person hour to finish the project.

A machine covers 5/8 square foot in 1/4 hour

VLD [36.1K]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

A machine covers 5/8 square foot in 1/4 hour. what is the unit rate?

Answer:

2.5 square feet per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area covered by a machine = $frac{5}{8}\ ft^2$

Time taken to cover the given area = $\frac{1}{4}\ h$

Now, unit rate of the first quantity with respect to second quantity is the magnitude of the first quantity being when the second quantity is one unit.

Here, the first quantity is the area covered and the second quantity is the time taken.

So, unit rate is the area covered by the machine in 1 hour.

In order to find that, we use the unitary method and divide the area by the total time taken. Therefore,

$Unit\ rate=\frac{Total\ area\ covered}{Total\ time\ taken}\\\\Unit\ rate=(\frac{5}{8}\ ft^2)\div (\frac{1}{4}\ h)\\\\Unit\ rate=\frac{5}{8}\times \frac{4}{1}\ ft^2/h\\\\Unit\ rate=\frac{20}{8}=2.5\ ft^2/h$

Thus, the unit rate is 2.5 square feet per hour.
