Answer:

-\frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula is:

\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Let's plug-in our numbers.

\frac{12 - 8}{4 - 10} = \frac{4}{-6} = -\frac{4}{6}

Now, we must simplify the fraction. We can do this by by finding the GCF (Greatest Common Factor). Let's list out what 6 and 4 have in common.

What can 6 be divided into?

2 * 3 = 6

1 * 6 = 6

What can 4 be divided into?

2 * 2 = 4

1 * 4 = 4

The GCF of these two numbers is 2!

-\frac{4\div2}{6\div2} = -\frac{2}{3}

So, our slope is -\frac{2}{3}

<h3>Another way to solve this is \frac{rise}{run}</h3>

I have shown how to do this in the picture below. We get the same answer solving this way as well.

The value of y varies directly with x and y = 4.5 when x = 0.5. find y when x = 10
Pepsi [2]
So what you asked this is what I got

x(y) = 4.5

If x= 0.5 then 

0.5(y) = 4.5
y=9

x(y) = 4.5

10(y) = 4.5
y= 0.45



hope this helps :)
