Answer:
9 7/12
Step-by-step explanation:
12 is a suitable common denominator.
(7 3/4) + (1 5/6) = (7 9/12) + (1 10/12) = (7+1) +(9/12 +10/12)
= 8 + 19/12 = 9 + 7/12 . . . . . . change 19/12 to 1 7/12
= 9 7/12

My calculator works with mixed numbers very nicely, as many graphing calculators do.
Well try working on the problem first
Answer:
-7/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that slope, m, is defined as the ratio rise to run: rise/run.
Note that if we start at x = -2 (an arbitrary choice), and move 6 units to the right, we end up at x = 4. This is the 'run.' Simultaneously, y starts at 1 and decreases to - 6, a change of -7.
Thus, the slope of the line through these two points is m = rise/run = -7/4
