In order to find the slope of line that passes through 2 points, use the equation slope=rise/run
rise = 5-(-4) =9
run = 2- 0 =2
slope = rise/run = 9/2
2 3/4+1 5/8= deducted amount of apples
improper fraction= 11/4+13/8
same denominator= 2(11/4)+13/8
<span>2(11/4)+13/8=22/8+13/8=35/8=4 3/8</span>
6 1/2- 4 3/8
improper fraction= 13/2-35/8
same denominator= 4(13/2)-35/8
52/8-35/8= 17/8 lbs. There u go!
