Slope is known as rise over run. Because the line is pointing "\", it is negative.
The rise, the distance from one point to another, specifically from (0,4) to (1,1) is 3, as 4-1=3. your run is 1-0=1.
So your rise over run is -3/1 or, -3.
Your y-int is where when x=0, y=?
In this case y=4 when x=0.
Your equation is
y=-3x+4
Well, there are 3 feet in a yard. So, 3ft=1yrd. Multiply the length value by 3. You could also multiply 3 by the # of yards (or in this situation, 8) Is that good enough?
The most exact answer would be 0.19951% but the approximate answer would be 0.2%.
Answer:
4 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
2 1/2 + 1 1/4 + 1/2 = 5/2 + 5/4 + 1/2
LCM = 4
5/2 x 2/2 = 10/4
5/4 = 5/4
1/2 x 2/2 = 2/4
10/4 + 5/4 + 2/4 = 17/4
= 4 1/4
Therefore he put 4 1/4 cups altogether.
