X/y?

So I’m assuming x divided by y will give you your slope

Answer: Divide the rise by the run to calculate the slope, which helps you to find the rise and run between other points on the same line. In the example, x divided by y calculates a slope of x/y . A positive slope means the line goes up from left to right, but a negative slope means it goes down.

the ratio of adults to children is 7:3. based on this ration, if there was 370 people how many where children

makkiz [27]

In a ratio of 7:3, for every 7 adults you have 3 children. So 30% of the total are children. I.e. if you have 10 people .7 times (10) are adults or 7 and .3 times (10) are children or 3. So for 370 people, .3 times 370 are children, or 111.

Given the line below.

DerKrebs [107]

You need to find the slope of the line too. they use m to represent slope.
$m = \frac{(y2 - y1)}{x2 - x1} = \frac{ - 2 - 2}{ - 2 - 2} = \frac{ - 4}{ - 4} = \frac{1}{1}$
point slope equation is y - y1 = m(x -x1)
they said to use point (-2, -2)
y -(-2) = 1(x -(-2))
y +2 = 1(x +2)

You do 420/4 so therefore it would be 105 miles per square feet of the square.
