Hello!

To find the slope of a line, we use the formula y2-y1/x2-x1.

Each ordered pair can either represent the 1,s or the 2,s and the slope will be the same. For our example, lets have (-1,-17) represent (x1,y1) and (-4.-2) represent (x2,y2). 

We will plug these values into the equation.

-2+17/-4+1
15/-3
-5

The slope of the line is -5, but let's check our answer by switching the 1's and 2's.

-17+2/-1+4
-15/3
-5

The slope of the line is -5.

I hope this helped you!

A shopkeeper bought some eggs at ¢15 each. Six of them were broken while the rest were sold at ¢20 each. If he made a profit of
zvonat [6]
In the given problem it is already stated that the cost of each eggs is 15 cent. Out the total eggs bought 6 were broken. The rest of the eggs were sold for 20 cents each and the profit made was $4.80.
Cost of the 6 broken eggs = (6 * 0.15)
                                           = 0.9 cents
Let us assume that the number of eggs bought = x
Then we can write the equation as
0.2x - (0.15x - 0.9) = 4.80
0.2x - 0.15x + 0.9 = 4.80
0.05x = 4.80 - 0.9
0.05x = 3.9
x = 3.9/0.05
   = 78
So the number of eggs bought by him is 78
