Explanation:
The slope of the line is found by the method: rise/run
You calculate how much the slope rises(goes up) and divide it by run(goes horizontal).
One more thing to note is that: the slope is negative BECAUSE ITS DECREASING.
Your answer: -3/2
Answer:
Ray = 19 yrs old
Tom = 25 yrs old
John = 57 yrs old
Explanation:
Let x be the years of Tom
R = x - 6
J = 3R = 3(x - 6)
T = x
R + J + T = 101
x - 6 + 3(x - 6) + x = 101
2x - 6 + 3x - 18 = 101
5x - 24 = 101
5x = 125
x = 125/5 = 25
R = 25 - 6 = 19
J = 3(25 - 6) = 57
T = 25
Your answer is 3/7 because you have to go 5-5=0 and 5/7-2/7=3/7 so it is 3/7
