Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
The line has a "rise" between the two points of -4 units for a "run" of +1 unit. The slope is the ratio ...
m = rise/run = -4/1 = -4.
The slope is -4.

<em>Additional comment</em>
A "whole number" must be non-negative. Here, the slope is negative. If you're restricted to "a fraction or a whole number", then the appropriate answer is the fraction -4/1. We suspect that "integer" is meant where "whole number" is used.
X^2-5x-14
It is the correct answer I think
Answer: 0.7
Locate the tenths place which is just to the right of the decimal point. We see a 6 in this spot. Just to the right of this 6 is the value 8. Since 8 is larger than 5, we bump the 6 up to 7 and erase everything else to the right. You can think of it like this
0.687 ---> 0.6 which bumps up to 0.7
This is like saying 687 is closer to 700 than it is to 600
Propane costs $3.50 per hundred pounds,
and there is a $6 monthly delivery fee.
A family has budgeted $85 for their propane this month.
Let 'x' hundreds of pounds can the family use without going over budget
Here family has budgeted $85 for their propane.
So the cost for Propane = $ 3.5x
One month delivery fee $6
Therefore cost + delivery charge not exceed $85
So 3.5x + 6 ≤ 85
3.5x=85-6 =79
x = 22.57
Therefore 22 hundreds of pounds can the family use without going over budget
