You'd use the equation y2-y1/x2-x1
0-(-3)/-7-5 = 3/-12 = -1/4
So -1/4 would be the slope
m= -1/4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, the variables x and y are inversely proportional.

Joe : x
jim : y
x+y=16
y=1.50+x
x + 1.50 + x = 16
2x = 14.5
x = 7.25
7.25 + y = 16
y= 8.75
Joe : $7.25
Jim : $8.75
