A line goes through points (-2, 18) and (4, 3). What is the slope of the line? A. 12

B. -1.25

C. -2.5

D. -5

-2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope can be found by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (3-18)/(4- -2)

   = -15/(4+2)

    =-15/6

    = -5/2

     -2.5

both equations and proportions are better.

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743
