Answer:

The slope is 7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the slope of the line

We use the slope equation

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

m = (35-70)/(25-50) = -35/-25 = 7/5

what it means is that the rate of change of the number of red drops to number of blue drops to form the purple color is in the ratio of 7 to 5

Or simply put

To form a purple color, add 7 part red to 5 parts blue drops
