The answer is 5/2. The equation is already in point slope form. If you recall, the equation for point slope form is y-y1 = m(x-x1) where y1 and x1 are points on the graph, and m is the slope. In the given equation, m is 5/2 so we know it is the slope.
Alternatively, if you are not familiar with the point slope for equation, you can manipulate the equation to the form of y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the constant. If you solve for y, you get y=5/2x-1 since 5/2 is in the place of m, we know 5/2 is the slope.
Answer:
D. He should add between 2 cups and 3 cups of dirt.
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to take the ratio of dirt to peat moss.
8 parts dirt : 3 parts peat moss.
Now we take the ratio and find the value of dirt.
8 : 3 = 
x : 1 = 

We now multiply both sides by 1.



So now we substitute x.
2.67 Cups Dirt : 1 Cup Peat Moss
Given: h/9 - 12 = -4
Add 12 on both sides:
h/9 = 8
Multiply 9 on both sides:
h = 72

Answer: 311 bears
Step-by-step explanation:
Population increased by 115% in the 35 years from 1970 to 2005.
Population in 2005 is:
= 270 * 115/100
= 310.5
= 311 bears
