Answer:

So the slope is -8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope you have to use m = y2-y1/x2-x1

so lets plug in our numbers

m = - 4- 4/5-2

= -8/3

Talja [164]

Answer:

$-2\dfrac{1}{4}\div\left(-\dfrac{2}{3}\right)=\dfrac{27}{8}=3\dfrac{3}{8}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-2\dfrac{1}{4}\div\left(-\dfrac{2}{3}\right)\qquad\text{the quotient of two negative numbers is positive}\\\\=2\dfrac{1}{4}\div\dfrac{2}{3}\qquad\text{convert the mixed number to the improper fraction}\\\\=\dfrac{2\cdot4+1}{4}\div\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{9}{4}\div\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\\text{dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.}\\\\=\dfrac{9}{4}\cdot\dfrac{3}{2}=\dfrac{9\cdot3}{4\cdot2}=\dfrac{27}{8}\qquad\text{convert to the mixed number}\\\\=3\dfrac{3}{8}$
