Answer:
4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Moving from (-4, -9) to (5, 3), x (the 'run') increases by 9 from -4 to 5, and y (the 'rise') increases by 12 from -9 to +3. Thus, the slope of the line connecting the two points is
m = rise / run = 12/9 = 4/3
It may help to think of the change in x (9) as the horizontal leg of a right triangle and the change in y (12) as the vertical leg. Then
m = (vertical leg length) / (horizontal leg length) = 12/9 = 4/3

Answer:
18 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The map distance and ground distance are proportional.
(distance to school)/(3 in) = (12 miles)/(2 in)
Multiplying by 3 in gives ...
distance to school = (12 miles)(3/2) = 18 miles
12 + 5x > 2(8x - 6) - 7x
12 + 5x > 16x - 12 - 7x
5x - 16x + 7x > -12 - 12
-4x > -24 / : (-4)
x < 6
If you have several different sized pizzas, you can compare their areas. So the area of a pizza is the length of the crust (circumference) divided by two times the distance from the edge to the middle (radius). Mathematicians use a special number called pi to calculate the circumference of a circle.
Answer:
2 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
4 square yards to feet: 4*3 = 12ft
3 cows grazing grass at 2 ft per hour: 2*2 = 6 square ft per hour
Time taken: 12ft/6ft per hour = 2 hours
