Hi there! The formula for finding the slope is y2 - y1/ x2 - x1. This means you subtract the first x and y-coordinates form the second x and y-coordinates. (-4.1, 7.4) is the first coordinate and (4.3, 3.2) is the second coordiante. Set it up like this:
3.2 - 7.4 / 4.3 - (-4.1)
Now, let's subtract. 3.2 - 7.4 is -4.2. 4.3 - (-4.1) is 9.4. -4.2/9.4 is -0.5 when simplified. There. The slope of the line is -0.5. The answer is C: -0.5.
Note: When you subtract a negative number, you're actually adding. So if an expression is 2 - (-3), the answer is 5, because you add 3 into 2.
Answer:
$79,508
Step-by-step explanation:
Change 4% to decimal form: drop the percent sign replacing it with a decimal
point then move the decimal point two places to
the left = .04
Salary increase: $76,450 x .04 = $3,058
Total salary: $76,450 + $3,058 = $79,508
