The mistake did she make are like about the first term (8,17),like 8,as x1,and 17 as y1,,,,,,the second term:(1,4),,,like 1 as x2,,,and 4 as y2,,,,,soooo based on the formula slope;M=y2-y1\x2-x1,,,,sooo M= 4-17\1-8 sooo -13\-7 so multiply by (-1) on both sides,,, the answer is m= 13\7 or by divided it that be 1.86.....
In a day there are 24 hours (obviously)... so then you put 14/24 then you simplify this fraction to the lowest term.... divide both numbers by 2 which is 7/12... i hope this helped :)
