B. Use the formula m=(Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1). For this problem it would be (0-3)/(5-1)= -3/4.

The slope, m, of the line is calculated through the equation,

m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

where x's are the abscissas of the ordered pair and x's are the ordinates. Substituting the given values to the equation above,

m = (0 - 3)/(5 - 1) = -3/4

The slope of the line is -3/4 and the answer is letter B.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 950 students at Hanover High School. The ratio of the number of freshmen to all students is 3:10. This means that the number of freshmen is 3/10 × total number of students.

Number of freshmen = 3/10×950 =285 freshmen

The ratio of the number of sophomore to all students is 1:2. This means that the number of sophomore is 1/2 × total number of students.

Number of sophomore = 1/2×950 =475 sophomore

The ratio of the number of freshmen to sophomore is the number of freshmen/ the number of

sophomore.

It becomes 285/475 = 57/95

Answer:

1131 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that an unloaded truck and trailer, with the driver aboard, weighs 30,000 pounds. When fully loaded, the truck holds 26 pallets of cargo, and each of the 18 tires of the fully loaded semi-truck bears approximately 3,300 pounds.

First of all, we will find weight of 18 tires by multiplying 18 by 3,300 as:

$\text{Weight of tires of the fully loaded semi-truck}=18\times 3,300$
