Question 962296: In 6 years, Susan's age,y, will be will be half as much as her sisters age,x, will be in 2 years. What is the slope of Susan's age in terms of her sisters age
Work: 1/2x+6y Its probably the wrong equation but there's so many numbers I don't know when and which numbers I use in the equation

In six years, Susan will be y%2B6 if today she's y.
In two years, her sister will be x%2B2 if today her sister is x.
So then,
y%2B6=%281%2F2%29%28x%2B2%29
The slope is 1%2F2.
