What is the slope of the line conaning the points (-3,4)and(2,1)

1 answer:

4 0

$\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&&(~ -3 &,& 4~) 
% (c,d)
&&(~ 2 &,& 1~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = m\implies 
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{1-4}{2-(-3)}\implies \cfrac{1-4}{2+3}\implies \cfrac{-3}{5}$

Alexus [3.1K]

There is 6.74 quarts left in the cooler.

Since 5 of the glasses have a capacity of 0.36 qt, this is a total of 5(0.36) = 1.8 qt. The 8 glasses that have a capacity of 0.52 qt have a total of 8(0.52) = 4.16 qt. This gives a total of 4.16+1.8 = 5.96 qt.

To find the remaining, subtract from 12.7:
12.7-5.96 = 6.74 qt.
