Whats the slope of the 2 points (6,-6) & (-1,-3)

1 answer:

6 0

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-3}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-3}-\stackrel{y1}{(-6)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{-1}-\underset{x_1}{6}}}\implies \cfrac{-3+6}{-7}\implies -\cfrac{3}{7}$

The ratio of the number of sheep to the number of horses on a farm is 8:3. If there are 42 horses on the farm, how many sheep ar

Alenkinab [10]

Well, if there are 3 sheep for every 8 horses then there should be 15.75 sheep.

.......you divide 42 by 8 to find the number of horses (5.25) and then multiply that by 3 (15.75).

I hope this helps you.

The average rate of change of f from 2 to 3

ella [17]

For a function of $f$ , the average rate of change can be found as follows:

$ARC=\frac{f(x_{2})-f(x_{1})}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

So, this problem asks for the Average Rate of Change of $f$ from $x_{1}=2$ to $x_{2}=3$ . In this way, we need to find $f(x_{1}) \ and \ f(x_{2})$ . As you can see above, we have the graph of $f(x)$ , so we can find these values. Thus, from the graph:
