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.

Use the number line to show and explain why 4/10 ÷ 2 and 4/10 × 1/2 both equal 2/10

Vesna [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

When you divide by a number, you basically are multiplying by the reciprocal

The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2

4/10 ÷ 2 = 4/10 × 1/2 = 2/10

4/10 × 1/2 = 2/10

Using a number line,

Start at 4/10 and move down by 2 until you reach 0

Start at 4/10 and move up by 1/2 from 0 until you reach 4/10

(Count the number of humps)

Both will be the same
