HELP with MATH!!????
Point B has the coordinates (12,8)
1. ) What is the slope of the line that goes through Pt. A to Pt. B in fraction form?
2.) Using the fractional slope answer, now rewrite the slope as a decimal over one. (ex: 2/5 = .4/1)
3.) Points A and B are plotter on a set of x-y axes in which the x-axis is labeled height in cm and the y-axis is labeled weight in ounces. Using words explain your slop answer in problem #2 in terms of the word labels of the axes.
4.) Find the equation of the line that goes through points A and B.
k thanks u guys soo much!!!

1- a slope is the change in y over the change in x coordinates, so:
(8-6) / (12-4) = 2/8 = 1/4 is the slope
2- 1/4 = 0.25 so 0.25/1
3- for every centimetre in height of a given object, its weight goes up by 0.25 ounces.
4-
function of a line is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the intercept
m we already know is 1/4
y=x/4+b
choose one of the two points:
8 = 12/4 + b
8 = 3 + b
5 = b
OR
6 = 4/4 +b
6 = 1 + b
5 =b
eitherway, intercept is 5
so:
y=x/4+5
