Answer:

slope = $-\frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula given in the question to solve for the slope. The $m$ is the variable representing the slope. The $x_1$ and $y_1$ values are x and y values of one point. The $x_2$ and $y_2$ are x and y values of another point.

So, use the x and y values of the points given and substitute them in the correct order into the formula:

$m = \frac{(7)-(9)}{(10)-(-6)}\\m = \frac{7-9}{10+6} \\m = \frac{-2}{16} \\m = -\frac{1}{8}$

Thus, the slope is $-\frac{1}{8}$ .

$x =\frac{4}{3}inch$ is the size in wheels on the scale model .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Correct Question : Tom has a scale model of his car. The scale factor is 1 : 12. If the actual car has 16-inch wheels, what size are the wheels on the scale model?

We have , The scale factor is 1 : 12. We need to find If the actual car has 16-inch wheels, what size are the wheels on the scale model .Let's find out:

Ratio of size of wheels to actual size of wheels is 1:12 , but actual car has 16-inch wheels So ,

⇒ $\frac{1}{12} = \frac{x}{16}$ { x is size of wheel in scale model }
