Answer: 
Remember: RISE/RUN (y/x). Lines that are increasing have a positive slope, and lines that are decreasing have a negative slope.
You can find the slope in two ways:
1. Useful if the line is graphed: count the units between 2 points on the line.
- Let's use the points (-1, 4) and (4, -4).
- (-1, 4) is 8 units higher than (4, -4) and 5 units to the left of (4, -4).
- Because the line is decreasing, the slope is negative.
- Therefore, the slope is .
2. Useful if the line is not graphed: find the difference between the y-coordinate values divided by the difference of the x-coordinate values.
- Let's use the points (-1, 4) and (4, -4).
- Therefore, the slope is .
One advantage is that you don't have to count out your money when you are cashing in. But one con is that people can forge your signature if you give it to them and their dishonest.
Answer:
It'll take him 1/4 hours to decorate the two signs.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to know how long Roberto will take to decorate all the signs we need to find their surface area, since they're rectangular their area is given by the product of their dimensions.
First sign:
area1 = (2/3)*(1/4) = 2/12 = 1/6 foot²
Second sign:
area2 = (1/2)*(1/3) = 1/6 foot²
The total area he has to paint is the sum of their individual areas, so we have:
total area = area1 + area2 = 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3 foot²
To find out how long he'll take to decorate this area we can use a rule of three as shown bellow:
3/4 hour -> 1 foot²
x hour -> 1/3 foot²
x = (3/4)*(1/3) = 1/4 hours
I hate study island lol and are those supposed to be powers? Like 3 to the power of 8
<h3>Let the number be x</h3>
- Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators
- Cancel multiplied terms that are in the denominator
