Given that,

Point 1 = (-6,9)

Point 2 = (2,9)

To find,

The slope of a line that passes through the given pair.

Solution,

We have,

x₁ = -6, x₂ = 2, y₁ = 9, y₂ = 9.

The formula for the slope of a line is given by :

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\=\dfrac{9-9}{2-(-6)}\\\\=0$

Hence, the slope of the line that passes through the given pair is 0.

To figure out the cost for 180 packages, you must first calculate how many packages they bought for $72. Since each case holds 12 packages, for $72, the company bought 24 packages (12×2). Then you have to divide 24 into 180 to figure out the cost for those 180 packages and get 7.5. To get the cost of the 180 packages, you must multiply 7.5 (the number of 24 packages that go into 180) by 72 (the cost of one group of 24 packages). You then get 540. The company must pay $540 for the 180 packages.

I drew a picture!!

Maybe you didn't.
.
I like to picture things though.
.
Ok, a rectangle cut in half.
.
Ok, by definition of "half," just multiply the number of rectangles by 2.
.
1 x 2 = 2 after cutting the brownies in half.
.
2 x 2 = 4 after cutting it in half again.
.
4 rectangles now!!
.
Doing it the other way... pretend you are starting over from scratch.
.
A new batch of brownies!
.
But still pay attention to what you already cut.
.
Cut down the middle the other direction.
.
What's 4 x 2?
.
8.
.
Now, finally, we multiply the half of the half brownies.
.
What's 8 x 2?
.
16.
.
16 slices.
