<h3>Answer: -6/5</h3>

Explanation:

The blue diagonal line goes through the two points (0,2) and (5,-4). These are shown as the dark blue enlarged points. You can pick any other points you want that are on the diagonal line, though these are the easiest as they stand out the most.

Use the slope formula to find the slope through these points

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

m = (-4-2)/(5-0)

m = (-6)/(5)

m = -6/5

The negative slope means the line goes downhill as you move from left to right along the diagonal line.

The historical walking tour of a town covers a total distance of 5 miles. The map shows that the path of the tour travels 3 inch

kari74 [83]

Since the problem is given all the total walking distance, the first thing we are going to do is find the total distance in the map:
$Diastance_{map}=3+4+2+1$
$Distance_{map}=10$
Now that we have the distance in the map, we can establish a ratio between the walking distance and the distance in the map:
$\frac{5miles}{10inches} = 0.5 \frac{mile}{inch}$

We can conclude that each inch the map represents 0.5 miles of walking distance.
