The correct slope is -5/2.
The formula for slope is
m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
The y-coordinate of the second point is 0, and the y-coordinate of the first point is 2. The x-coordinate of the second point is 0.8 and the x-coordinate of the first point is 0:
m = (0-2)/(0.8-0) = -2/0.8 = -2 ÷ 8/10 = -2 × 10/8 = -2/1 × 10/8 = -20/8 = -5/2
The rate of change is
(2- (-1))/ (3/2-(-4)) => 3 / (11/2)
that is equal to 6/11 so almost 1/2
500% as a fraction is 5/1, and as a decimal it is 5.00
Answer:
c > 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The properties of equality can be used to solve inequalities. Attention needs to be paid to ordering.
<h3>Application</h3>
We can subtract 3 from both sides to solve this.
c +3 > 8 . . . . . . given
c +3 -3 > 8 -3 . . . . subtract 3 from both sides
c > 5 . . . . . . . . . simplify
The solution is c > 5.

<em>Additional comment</em>
Adding or subtracting a value to a number on a number line is equivalent to shifting it right or left. It does not change ordering.
Multiplying or dividing by a <em>positive</em> number is equivalent to expanding or compressing the distance from zero. It does not change ordering.
Multiplying or dividing by a <em>negative</em> number reflects the value across the origin, in addition to expanding or compressing the distance from zero. This reflection reverses the left-right ordering. For example, -2 < -1, but 2 > 1. (Both numbers multiplied by -1.)
As long as you're aware of the effect on ordering, you can use any of the properties of equality to solve inequalities.
