Answer:

In a 24 pack of soda, 1/8 would be 3 cans (24/8 = 3). 1/12 would be 2 cans (24/12=2).

So 3/8 is 9 cans of soda and 5/12 is 10 cans of soda, so they are not equivalent because the number of soda cans is not the same.

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points shown in the table.

Fed [463]

Answer: -2/7
This value is a fraction.

----------------------------------

Work Shown:

The first two rows in the table produce these two points (x1,y1) = (-14,8) and (x2,y2) = (-7,6)

So, x1=-14, y1=8, x2=-7, and y2=6

Plug these four values into the slope formula and simplify
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (6 - 8)/(-7 - (-14))
m = (6 - 8)/(-7 + 14)
m = -2/7
