Step-by-step explanation:
y-y1 = m(x-x1) is the equation for a linear line in y=mx+b (slope intercept)
slope = m = -5/8
x1 = -14
y1 = 6
y-6 = -5/8 (x--14)
y-6 = -5/8 (x+14)
y-6 = -5/8x-70/8
y-48/8= -5/8x-70/8
y = -5/8x - 22/8
When x = 0, y = -22/8, which makes (0, -22/8) your y intercept
A. You need to compare 2/5, 1/2 and 3/4
2/5= .4
1/2= .5
3/4=.75
Therefore the bucket that is 2/5 full is less than 1/2 full
Simple,
1/2 of 60
re-write it as 0.5 of 60 aka 0.5*60
which is 0.5*60=30
Do the same with 1/2 of 24.
0.5 of 24
0.5*24=12.
Thus, it's not the same because they are different numbers and different number give you different answers.
