All number in percentage form when converted into a fraction will serve as the numerator with 100 as the denominator. The percent sign will be removed and the fraction will be simplified.

42% = 42/100 = (42÷2) / (100÷2) = 21/50
72% = 72/100 = (72÷2) / (100÷2) = 36/50 = (36÷2) / (50÷2) = 18/25
88% = 88/100 = (88÷2) / (100÷2) = 44/50 = (44÷2) / (50÷2) = 22/25
35% = 35/100 = (35÷5) / (100÷5) = 7/20

Notice that both numerator and denominator must be factored by the same number to be simplified.

Put each one over 100. So 42/100, then reduce down by dividing by 2 both the top and bottom figures and you get 21/50 for your first answer. Do the same with each of the rest...72/100 and reduce down to 36/50, then reduce again 18/25 and that is the farthest you can reduce on that one. Do the same for the rest.

Which equation could have been used to create this graph?

Pavlova-9 [17]

C
Y=X+9
9 is called y intercept that's where pt starts
The number is front of X is called slope if no number it's 1 so it's 1/1 one up and one right up positive right positive start from 9

Hi ;-)

$x^2+6x-10=30 \ \ /-30\\\\x^2+6x-40=0\\\\a=1, \ b=6, \ c=-40\\\\\Delta=b^2-4ac=6^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-40)=36+160=196\\\\\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{196}=14\\\\x_1=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-6-14}{2}=\boxed{-10}\\\\x_2=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-6+14}{2}=\boxed4$
