Answer: The slope is: "3" ; which does not appear among the answer choices given.
______________________________________________
The slope, "m" is calculated as follows:
___________________________________
Given two coordinates on a line;
m = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁) ;
__________________________________________
We are given the following 2 (TWO) coordinates:
__________________________________________
1) (5,2) ; which is: (x₁ ,y₁) ; so x₁ = 5 ; y₁ = 2 ; AND:
2) (7,8); which is: (x₂ ,y₂) ; so x₂ = 7; y₂ = 8 ;
_____________________________________________
So; m = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁) = (8−2) /.(7−5) = 6/2 = 3 .
m = 3. The slope is: 3 ; which does not appear among the answer choices given.

Alternately,
______________________________________________
We are given the following 2 (TWO) coordinates:
__________________________________________
1) (7,8) ; which is: (x₁ ,y₁) ; so x₁ = 7 ; y₁ = 8 ; AND:
2) (5,2); which is: (x₂ ,y₂) ; so x₂ = 5; y₂ = 2 ;
______________________________________________
So; m = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁) = (2−8) / (5−7) = -6/-2 = 3 .
m = 3. The slope is 3 ; which does not appear among the answer choices given.

1.25 gallons
so we know 0.5 gallons makes 1 pound, and we know that there are at least 2 pounds of butter made.
so we know that there is 1 full gallon of cream used.
however, there is also .5 pounds of butter, so we need to find out the other half.
to do this, we need to split the .5 gallons of cream in half, making 0.25
then, we add 1 + 0.25 gallons to equal 1.25 gallons of cream needed to make 2.5 pounds of butter
Answer:
Subtract 80 from 83 . The result of division of 8310 is 8 with a remainder of 3 .
