Answer:
A. -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is rise over run, or y2-y1 / x2-x1.

<u>The slope is A. -4.</u>
Let's see--does that make sense? A slope of four would be pretty steep, and that matches the graph. It also should be negative because the line goes down and to the right, not up and to the right, so -4 makes sense!
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's first convert this to numbers. When a number is decreased by a certain amount, that is the same as saying that something is subtracted from it. Therefore:
a-7=2
Add 7 to both sides:
a-7+7=2+7
a=9
Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:
12/4
The top number always goes inside (larger or not), and the bottom number always goes on the outside (larger or not).
______
4 | 12
Ask yourself how many 4's are in 12.
Let's see one 4 is just 4.
We can probably do more 4's than that.
Two 4's gives us 4+4=8.
Let's see if we can put one 4 in there.
Three 4's gives us 4+4+4=12.
So we can fit three 4's into 12 and there is nothing left over.

______
4 | 12
-12 (since 4 times 3 or 4+4+4 is 12)

The answer would be 54, because A= PQ over 2 = 9 x 12 over 2 = 54
