Find the slope of the line that passes through the two points (0,1) and (-8, -7)
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

<h3>The slope of the line is 1</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is found by using the formula

m =  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

where

m is the slope and

(x1 , y1) and ( x2 , y2) are the points

Substituting the above values into the above formula we have

Slope of the line that passes through

(0,1) and (-8, -7) is

m =  \frac{ - 7 - 1}{ - 8 - 0}  =  \frac{ - 8}{ - 8}  = 1

<h3>The slope of the line is 1</h3>

Hope this helps you

ratelena [41]
Given:
2002 sold 1000 paperback books and 1500 hardback books for a total of 2,500 books.

2003 sold 15% more paperback books and 5% more hardback books.
1000 x 1.15 = 1,150 paperbacks
1500 x 1.05 = 1,575 hardbacks

1150 + 1575 = 2,725

2,725 - 2,500 = 225
225 / 2,500 = 0.09
0.09 x 100% = 9%  choice C
