First point = (x1, y1) = (-1, 8)

Second point = (x2, y2) = (5, -4)

m = slope

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) .... is the slope formula

m = (-4 - 8)/(5 - (-1)) .... plug in the given values

m = (-4 - 8)/(5 + 1)

m = -12/6

<h3>m = -2</h3><h3>The slope is -2</h3><h3>Answer: Choice C</h3>

Emily thinks the perfect tomato sauce has 8 cloves of garlic in every 500 mL of sauce. Raphael's tomato sauce has 12 cloves of g
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Emiy would think that it is not the perfect tomato sauce because it has 12 cloves of garlic in every 900 mL of sauce and it should have 14.4 cloves of garlic in every 900 mL of sauce to be perfect.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement indicates that for Emily the perfect tomato sauce have 8 cloves of garlic in every 500 mL. With that we can calculate the amount of cloves of garlic that a tomato sauce should have for Emily to consider it to be perfect using the rule of three:

8 cloves of garlic → 500 mL

             x              ← 900 mL

x= (8*500)/900= 14.4

According to this, the perfect tomato sauce would need to have 14.4 cloves of garlic in every 900 mL. As Raphael's tomato sauce only has 12, it means that Emily would think that it is not the perfect tomato sauce.
