Meat costs $8.00 per pound at a store. What is the slope?
2 answers:
Answer:
The slope is 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you were to graph the price of meat per pound, you would need to choose the x-axis and y-axis labels.
The x-axis is the <u>independent</u> variable, meat in pounds.
The y-axis is the <u>dependent</u> variable, price in dollars.
The price depends on the number of pounds you buy.
Slope is calculated using rise over run, or:
"Rise" is the number of squares going up.
"Run" is the number of squares going to the right.
In the graph below, <u>to go from one red dot to the next, you count 1 to the right and 8 going up</u>.
Therefore, the slope is 8.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll solve this with a system of equations. The first equation says that K's shares plus I's shares total 270; therefore,
K + I = 270
The second equation talks about the ratios of their shares.
2/5 I = 1/2 K We'll solve for K by multiplying both sides by 2:
4/5 I = K Now we'll sub that in for K to the first equation:
and
and
Now we'll solve for I, the number of shares that Ikedi has. Multiply both sides by 5 to get
then divide both sides by 9 to get
Ikedi has 150 shares. Sub that back into the first equation to solve for K:
K + 150 = 270 so
K = 120
