Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope if rise / run

So what you want to do is look for two points that are close to each other on the vertical (y axis). This case i'm going with the 7 and the 5

This would give you a rise of -2: since as it move downwards as it goes to the right. (y2 - y1, y2 = 5, y1 = 7 so 5-7 = -2)

Next take the same points but look at them on the horizontal (x axis) and see how long it takes for it to get to the same points.

it starts at -1 and ends at 0.

so run = 1: since it moves to the left (x2 - x1, x2=0, x1=-1, 0-(-1) = 1)

This makes your slope

-2 as you have (-2/1)

What are vertically opposite angles

NeTakaya

When two lines cross, there are four angles at the place where they cross.
Two angles that do NOT share a side are vertical angles. There are two pairs
of vertical angles where the lines cross.

Also, by the way, vertical angles are always equal to each other. It's often
very helpful to know that.

Answer:

The answer is B. He spent 3 minutes eating lunch for every 10 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

He spent stuck inside during the brainstorm for:

20+18+12+10= 60 minutes in total.

And now we want to know what he did for every 10 minutes he spent in the rainstorm. To do that we need to divide what he did for every 10 minutes by the total of minutes that he was stuck:

$\frac{10}{60} =\frac{1}{6}$
