You've got five different problems in this photo ... four on top and the word problem on the bottom ... and they're all exactly the same thing: Taking two points and finding the slope of the line that goes through them.
In every case, the procedure is the same.
If the two points are (x₁ , y₁) and (x₂ , y₂) , then
the slope of the line that goes through them is
Slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) .
This is important, and you should memorize it.
#1). (8, 10) and (-7, 14)
Slope = (14 - 10) / (-7 - 8) = 4 / -15
#2). (-3, 1) and (-17, 2)
Slope = (2 - 1) / (-17 - -3) = (2 - 1) / (-17 + 3) = 1 / -14
#3). (-20, -4) and (-12, -10)
Slope = [ -10 - (-4) ] / [ -12 - (-20) ]
=========================================
The word problem:
This question only gives you one point on the graph,
and then it wants to know what's the slope ?
What are you going to do for another point ?
A "proportional relationship" always passes through the origin,
so another point on the line is (0, 0) .
Now you have two points on THAT line too, and you can easily
find its slope.
1 cup = 1/2 pint, so where it says 4 cups we'll just read 2 pints.
1. In one show we serve 30 × 2 pints of small and 42 × 6 pints of regular.
Total = 30 × 2 + 42 × 6 = 60 + 252 = 312 pints
Answer: 312 pints
2. 8 pints per gallon, 2 gallons per container makes 16 pints per container.
312 pints / 16 pints per container = 19.5 containers
We round up since we need a whole number of containers.
Answer: 20 containers
We can't really see question 3.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
since 
Then, it implies that:
Area = side * side
Area of the square = 6 1/9 * 6/1/9
= 36 1/81
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
But basically, one by one you try moving the terms out of the radical.
75 is also 25 * 3 and since 25 has a perfect square root of 5 that goes out and 3 stays inside the radical.
x^3 is also x^2 * x and since x^2 has a perfect square root which is just x that goes outside while the remaining x stays inside.
y^9 is also y^8 * y and since we move variables out the radical in twos y^ goes outside the radical and y stays inside alone.
Finally, z is just z it can't be taken out so it stays inside the radical.
Hope that helps!
