We are given two points: (-1, -1) and (1, -4). Slope is calculated as the change in y over the change in x, or rise over run.
The change in y is the difference of the two y coordinates (it doesn't matter the order): -1 - (-4) = 3
The change in x is the difference of the two x coordinates (this order depends on the order that you subtracted the y coordinates; they must be the same order): -1 - 1 = -2.
So, the slope is 3/-2
Answer: 5 pounds of ground beef ( don't see second :-( )
Step-by-step explanation: I found the unit rate per pound ( 2.25 ) and then multiplied that by the other pounds to compare the two prices and I only found 5 pounds to be incorrect, but I'll keep digging, hope this helps!
The coefficients are 15 and 85.
the variables are x and y.
85 represents 85 dollars for each x, which is the number of shifts.
15 represents 15 dollars for each y, which is the number of dog walking jobs.

Answer:
- 4 3-point baskets
- 7 2-point baskets
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of 2-point baskets Nicoli made. Then (x -3) is the number of 3-point baskets. The total number of points is ...
2x +3(x -3) = 5x -9 = 26
5x = 35 . . . . . . add 9
x = 7 . . . . . . . divide by 5
(x -3) = 4 . . . find the number of 3-point baskets
Jokic made 7 2-point baskets and 4 3-point baskets.
