D is the answer because if you calculate the answer correctly. that will be so.
Answer: 2/3 books on politics
Step-by-step explanation:
The opportunity cost of something is the next best alternative that you would have taken if you did not instead go for the option that you took.
Opportunity cost here is the number of books on politics that Bill had to give up to get a single book on history.
= Number of politics books / Number of history books
= 4 / 6
= 2/3 books on politics
<em>Bill gave up 2/3 books on politics to get a single history book. </em>
To find the gradient you do change in y/change in x so...
-12 - 0
————- = -12/4 = -3
0 - - 4
Hope this helps! Any questions let me know :)
Answer:
slope=6/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for finding the slope is y1-y2/x1-x2=slope. So if we substitute in the numbers from you question, it would be (-3-3)/(-2-3)=slope
(-3-3)/(-2-3)=slope
-6/-5=slope
6/5=slope
Since the graph is a straight line, we know that this equation follows some sort of y = mx + b format.
Let's take the points that are on the axes (-4,0) and (0,-3)
use them to find the slope = (0 - (-3))/(-4 - 0) = 3/(-4) = -3/4
this is our m in the general equations above
we now have y = (-3/4)x + b
b is the y-intercept which is where x = 0 we already have that point in (0,-3)
plug the -3 in for b to give as a final answer:
y = (-3/4)x - 3
