Which is bigger, -7/12 or -5/9??

1 answer:

8 0

Make bottom number same
12=2*2*3
9=3*3
LCD=2*2*3*3=36

-7/12 times 3/3=-21/36
-5/9 times 4/4=-20/36

the farther a number is on the number line to the left, the bigger it is
-20/36 is closer to left

-5/9=-20/36

-5/9 is bigger

Reading a Cartesian plane
Coordinates (x, y)
Slope Formula: $\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Find points from graph.

Point (4, 1)

Point (0, 3)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

Substitute in points [Slope Formula]: $\displaystyle m=\frac{3-1}{0-4}$
[Fraction] Subtract: $\displaystyle m=\frac{2}{-4}$
[Fraction] Simplify: $\displaystyle m=\frac{-1}{2}$

Which pairs of points would result in a line with a rate of change of 2:1? Select all that apply.

Helen [10]

Answer:

Options A, C, D are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to choose the pair of points from that given in the attached file which will result in a line with a rate of change i.e. slope of 2:1 i.e. 2.

A. The points are (-4,-11) and (-2,-7).

Then the slope of the joining line is $\frac{-7-(-11)}{-2-(-4)} =2$
