Slope= y/x so first let’s find the difference in the y coordinates. -6 and 3. -6 + 9= 3
So far we have 9/x, now on to the x coordinates. -3 and 0, -3 + 3 = 0
9/3 is the slope
now simplify and the slope is 3
3=4m+ b
-1=3m+b
m=4
plug in to either equation,
3=16+ b
b=-13
Thus, C would be the answer.
I hope you mean 1/5 when you say 1 5. If that's what you mean, then both, Joshua and Melanie, are correct because, both of their equations are the same.
Joshua's - <span>8 ÷ 1/5 = 40 (Since we can divide a number by fraction, we use this rule: keep, change flip. When we use that Joshua's equation turns into 8 * 5/1 = 8*5 = 40, same as Melanie's.)</span>
