Answer:

-2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is rise over run according to my former algebra teacher, but I learned it differently (still correct tho).

The first moves 2 units down so negative 2, and moves 5 units right, so -2/5 since the rise is -2, and run is 5.

The second one moves 2 x-units for every 1 y-unit, so the slope is 2,

if 1/4 of a gallon of paint is needed to paint 2/3 of a fence, how many gallons are needed to paint the entire fence? site:socra

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} \stackrel{paint}{gallons}&fence\\ \cline{1-2} \\\frac{1}{4}&\frac{2}{3}\\\\ x&1 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{1}{4}~~}{x}=\cfrac{~~\frac{2}{3}~~}{1}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{1}{4}~~}{\frac{x}{1}}=\cfrac{2}{3}\implies \cfrac{1}{4}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x}=\cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \cfrac{1}{4x}=\cfrac{2}{3}\implies 3=8x\implies \cfrac{3}{8}=x$
