Answer:

-4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use rise/run. The rise (y values) goes from 5 to -3. You subtract 8 for this. The run (x values) goes from 2 to 8. You add 6 for this. the proportion is -8/6, which can be simplified to -4/3.

Therefore, the slope is -4/3!

Hope I helped!!!!!!

ipn [44]

Answer:

The number of adults is $1,200$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the number of children

y------> the number of adults

we know that

$x+y=1800$ -------> equation A

$2x+4y=6000$ -------> equation B

Multiply equation A by $-2$

$-2(x+y)=-2*1800$ --------> $-2x-2y=-3600$ ------> equation C

Adds equation B and equation C

$2x+4y=6000\\-2x-2y=-3600\\---------\\4y-2y=6000-3600\\2y=2400\\y=2400/2\\y=1200$
