The book is asking if 14/20 is the same as 16/24. In other words, we want to see if 14/20 = 16/24 is a true equation or not.

Let's find out

14/20 = 16/24
14*24 = 20*16 ... cross multiply
336 = 320

Since the last equation shown above is NOT true, this makes the first equation NOT true.

The equation 14/20 = 16/24 is false so they did NOT make a proportional number of shots

An alternative route is to convert each fraction to decimal form
14/20 = 0.7
16/24 = 0.6666... (the 6's go on forever)
We get two different decimal values so this confirms our answer

Find the slope of the line passing through the points <br> , −8−3<br> and <br> , −34<br> .
alukav5142 [94]

Slope of the line passing through two points <span><span>P=<span>(<span><span>x1</span>,<span>y1</span></span>) </span></span></span>and <span><span>Q=<span>(<span><span>x2</span>,<span>y2</span></span>)</span></span></span> is given by <span><span>m=<span><span><span>y2</span>−<span>y1/</span></span><span><span>x2</span>−<span>x1</span></span></span></span></span>.

We have that <span><span><span>x1</span>=−8</span></span>, <span><span><span>y1</span>=−3</span></span>, <span><span><span>x2</span>=−3</span></span>, <span><span><span>y2</span>=4</span></span>.

Plug given values into formula for slope: <span><span>m=<span><span><span>(4)</span>−<span>(<span>−3</span>)/</span></span><span><span>(<span>−3</span>)</span>−<span>(<span>−8</span>)</span></span></span>=<span>7/5</span></span></span>.

Now y-intercept is <span><span>b=<span>y1</span>−m⋅<span>x1</span></span></span> .

<span><span>b=−3−<span>(<span>7/5</span>)</span>⋅<span>(<span>−8</span>)</span>=<span>41/5.</span></span></span>

Finally, equation of the line can be written in the form <span><span>y=mx+b</span></span>.

<span><span>y=<span>7/5</span>x+<span>41/5</span></span></span>

- 16m’n-(-25m’n)+(-7m’n)Which of the following is equivalent to the expression above?
Westkost [7]

As a rule , - times - = + and - times + = -

\begin{gathered} -16m^2n-(-25m^2n)+(-7m^2n\text{ ) } \\ =-16m^2n+25m^2n-7m^2n\text{  ( based on the rule above )} \\ =+9m^2n-7m^2n\text{    ( -16 + 25 = + 9 )} \\ =+2m^2n \end{gathered}

Therefore the correct answer to the question is 2m squared n
