What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1,7) and (-4,-8)?
a) -3
b) -1/3
c) 1/3
d) 3

D. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line, we can use the equation y2-y1/x2-x1=m or slope.

All we can do now is insert the values of the points into the equation.

-8-7/-4-1=m

-15/-5=m

3=m

Thus, the slope is 3.

Hope this helps!

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
