Give the slope between the points
(-2,0) (8,-5)

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

y2-y1 = -5-0 =-5

x2-x1 = 8-(-2)=10

-5/10= -1/2

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.
