Answer:

B. 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is given by the formula ...

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

For points (x1, y1) = (-3, -7) and (x2, y2) = (9, 1), the slope is ...

m = (1 -(-7))/(9 -(-3)) = 8/12 = 2/3

The slope of the line is 2/3.

In a fish tank 2/10 of the fish were orange and 5/100 of the fish were stripped.what fraction of the fish were orange or strippe

11111nata11111 [884]

Let's first start off by making 2/10 the same denominator as 5/100. To do this you would need to multiply both sides of the fraction by 10. You wild end up with 20/100. Now we worry about the striped fish. There are 5/100 striped fish, since we have the same denominator we can add them together! 20+5=25 25/100 is reduced to 1/4!
