Answer: The slope is 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
m = y2-y1/x2-x1
m =9-7/4+2
m=2/6
m=1/3
-1/12 - (-11/12) would change into -1/12 + 11/12 because a double negative (bold print) would become a positive. The answer to the new problem would be 10/12 or 5/6 (depending on if it says to simplify).
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write this word problem as two variables. Let us assume that:
x = Natalie's age
y = Fred's age
The first part of the word problem is that "If you add Natalie's age and Fred's age, the result is 39." Therefore:
Natalie's age + Fred's age = 39
x + y = 39
This will be our first equation. The second equation can be derived from the statement that "If you add Fred's age to 4 times Natalie's age, the result is 78." Therefore:
(4 times Natalie's age) + Fred's age = 78
4x + y = 78
We can now form a system of equations and solve for both x and y:

The simplest way to solve would be using the Substitution method, as seen here:
x + y = 39
y = 39 - x
4x + y = 78
4x + (39 - x) = 78
3x + 39 = 78
3x = 39
x = 13
x + y = 39
13 + y = 39
y = 26
Remember that x = Natalie's age and y = Fred's age. Therefore, Natalie's age is 13 years old and Fred's age is 26 years old.
Ok so you find the area of the yellow and the red and the area of the yellow you subtract it with the area aid the red that should give you the correct answer
