remember that when total value is used a negative number is turned positive so it equals to 282 feet
-2 or -2/1 because the ratio is y over x and the line is going down 2 (-2) every time it goes to the right once (1)
80 x 3 = 240
240 / 5 = 48
There are 48 pieces of candy in one bag.

Probably the easiest way to do these is to convert them to slope intercept form by solving for y. When we have y=mx+b, we read off the slope m.
-5x + 2y = 10
Add 5x to both sides,
2y = 5x + 10
Divide both sides by 2,
y = (5/2) x + (10/2)
Obviously 10/2=5 but we don't care about that for this problem. We read off the slope as
Answer: 5/2, last choice
12 = 4x - 6y
Adding 6y and subtracting 12,
6y = 4x - 12
Dividing by 6,
y = (4/6) x - (12/6)
y = (2/3) x - 2
Answer: 2/3
