<h3>Answer:  -1/4  (choice C)</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

Start at the point (0,1). This is the y intercept, which is where the graph crosses the y axis.

Then move down 1 and over to the right 4 spaces. We arrive at (4,0) which is the x intercept.

The process of "down 1, over to the right 4" can be thought of like this

rise/run = -1/4

rise = -1

run = 4

A rise of -1 indicates we go down 1 unit

The run of 4 means we move to the right 4 units

So that's why slope = rise/run = -1/4

-------------------------------------------------------

Here's another approach using the slope formula:

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (0-1)/(4-0)

m = -1/4

I used the two points (0,1) and (4,0) as (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) respectively. This formula basically says "subtract the y coordinates, subtract the x coordinates in the same order, then divide the differences y over x".

-------------------------------------------------------

Side note: The line moving downhill, as we read from left to right, indicates a negative slope.

Answer:

The paper is 60.73 cm long.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two pieces of paper each measure 41.36 cm, so those together would be 82.72 cm. Subtracting the 21.99 that is cut off, you're left with 60.73 cm. Hope this helped!
