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

Whats wrong in this equation ?
Inga [223]
The second step is wrong. What should've been done is to find greatest common factor (gcf) of 1/6 and -2. This is because you cannont add together a number with a variable to a number without a variable. So get the variable by itself by subtracting 1/6 from both sides.

1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________


Turn -2 into a fraction and find the gcf of -2 and 6:

1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________

1/5x = -2/1 — 1/6 ——> 1/5x = -12/6 — 1/6
1/5x = -13/6

Then divide each side by 1/5 to get the variable by itself; remeber: when dividing a fraction by a fraction, you multiply by the reciprocal.

5/1 • 1/5x = -13/6 • 5/1
x = 65/6

Then, simplify

65/6} 10.83 or 10 83/100

At the beach, Pancho and his sister both built sandcastles and then measured their heights. Pancho's sandcastle was 3/5 of a foo
lord [1]

1/5 of a foot

Simply subtract the height of Pancho’s sandcastle (3/5 of a foot) minus the height of his sister’s sandcastle (2/5 of a foot) to find a difference of 1/5 of a foot, meaning Pancho’s sandcastle was 1/5 of a foot taller than his sister’s sandcastle.

A group of friends were working on a student film that had a budget of $1140. They used 65% of their budget on costumes. How muc
Stells [14]

Answer:

They use 741 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Write 65% as

65/100

Since, finding the fraction of a number is same as multiplying the fraction with the number, we have

65/100 of 1140 = 65/100× 1140

Therefore, the answer is 741

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 65÷100×1140 which will give you 741 as the answer.
