Hello,


Let's assume k the ratio.


 \left \{ {{3x=k*(4x+4)} \atop {4x+4=k*(7x-2)}} \right. \\\\
 \left \{ {{3x-4kx=4k} \atop {4x-7kx=-2k-4}} \right. \\\\
 \left \{ {{x(3-4k)=4k} \atop {x(4-7k)=-2k-4}} \right. \\\\
 \left \{ {{x=\dfrac{4k}{3-4k} \atop {x=\dfrac{-2k-4}{4-7k} \right. \\\\

\dfrac{4k}{3-4k}=\dfrac{-2k-4}{4-7k}\\\\

36k^2-6k-12=0\\
6k^2-k-2=0\\

\boxed{k= \dfrac{2}{3} \ or\ k= -\dfrac{1}{2}}\\\\

x=\dfrac{4*\dfrac{2}{3} }{3-4*\dfrac{2}{3} }=8\\
x=\dfrac{4*\dfrac{-1}{2} }{3-4*\dfrac{-1}{2} }=-\dfrac{2}{5}\\







\boxed{x= 8 \ or\ x= -\dfrac{2}{5}}\\\\

2. The three points you need to mark on this graph are (1,2) (2,3) and (4,5); you then draw a line through all of these points and determine whether the inches of rainfall is proportionate to the number of hours. 

You mark those 3 points because at 1 hour, 2 inches of rain has fallen; at 2 hours, 3 inches of rain has fallen; and at 4 hours, 5 inches of rain has fallen

In the standard (x, y) coordinate plane, what is the slope of the line joining the points (3,7) and (4,−8)?
rjkz [21]
We know that the slope formula is m = (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)
Your points are: (3, 7) and (4, -8)
In this case,
x1 = 3
x2 = 4
y1 = 7
y2 = -8
Now, just plug in the numbers:
m = (7 - -8)/(3-4)
m = 15/-1
m = -15
Your slope is -15.
