The slope: 3/5
Y-intercept:-6
Multiply both sides by 3
Simplify the numerators
Multiply both sides by 6
Simplify the numerator
Multiply both sides by x
12x - 18 = 15x Subtract 12x from both sides
-18 = 3x Divide both sides by 3
-6 = x Switch the sides to make it easier to read
x = -6
Check your answer by plugging -6 in for the x in the original problem:
Plug in -6 for x
Change
to
so all denominators are the same
Change
to
for easier work
Subtract the numerators (4 - (-1) )
=
So,
x = -6 .
We just have to multiply 20 by 10mm, which is 200mm. 100mm is equal to one centimeter, so the body length of the insect under the microscope is two centimeters.
A- could be a part and/or a percent
b- 32×25%=8, 32-8=24
Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
The line has a "rise" between the two points of -4 units for a "run" of +1 unit. The slope is the ratio ...
m = rise/run = -4/1 = -4.
The slope is -4.

<em>Additional comment</em>
A "whole number" must be non-negative. Here, the slope is negative. If you're restricted to "a fraction or a whole number", then the appropriate answer is the fraction -4/1. We suspect that "integer" is meant where "whole number" is used.
