The slope of a line, denoted "m" is:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1), where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are any two points on the line.
m=(-4--3)/(9-5)
m=-1/4
So the slope is negative one quarter.
Answer:
$15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start by figuring out how much 1 cup of oil costs.
12 cups of oil is 36$
Let's set up a proportion.
12/36=1/x
Cross Multiply
12x=36
Divide both sides by 12.
x=3
1 cup of oil is $3.
Dinesh makes 5 batches of hummus, and each batch requires 1 cup of oil.
5*1=5
This means he needs 5 cups of oil.
5*3=15
He used $15 worth of oil in the 5 batches of his recipe.
However, since it is impossible to buy 5/12 bottles of oil, he would have needed to spend $36.
20 it the least common multiple of the numbers given
" of " means multiply
2/3(27) = 54/3 = 18
2/5(20) = 40/5 = 8
so 2/5 of 20 is smaller
