1.2 / 1.7 = 7.5 / x
cross multiply
(1.2)(x) = (1.7)(7.5)
1.2x = 12.75
x = 12.75 / 1.2
x = 10.625 meters <==

Find the slope of the line graphed in the diagram and choose the correct answer from the choices below. The two intercepts are (

kolezko [41]

1.2 is the slope of the line graphed in the given diagram

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We can use the given points (0, 3) and (-2.5, 0) to solve.

Slope formula is given by

$\text { slope, } m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Given two intercepts:

$\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)=(0,3) \text { and }\left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right)=(-2.5,0)$

By substituting these in the slope equation, we get

$\text { slope, } m=\frac{0-3}{-2.5-0}=\frac{-3}{-2.5}=\frac{3}{2.5}=1.2$
