Function 1:
x-intercept: (3,0) → a=3
y-intercept: (0,4) → b=4
Slope: m1=?

m=-b/a
m1=-4/3

Function 2:
Point 1: P1=(0,5)=(x1,y1) → x1=0, y1=5
Point 2: P2=(4,8)=(x2,y2) → x2=4, y2=8
Slope: m2=?

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m2=(8-5)/(4-0)
m2=3/4

Absolute value (m1)=Absolute value(-4/3)=4/3=1.33
Absolute value (m2)=Absolute value(3/4)=3/4=0.75

Absolute value (m1)=1.33 > 0.75=Abslute value (m2)

Answer: Fourth option: Function 1 has a steeper slope of -4/3

Function 1 has a slope of 4/3 and Function 2 has a slope of 3/4. This means that Function 1 would be steeper because it goes four units down and 3 units right while Function 2 would be steeper but fall slower because it goes 3 units down and is stretched out more to the right because it goes 4 units to the right making Function 1's line steeper.

Subtract fractions with different denominators

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

$\frac{10}{15}-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{4}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

A fraction consists of two integers—one on the top, and one on the bottom.
The top one is numerator, the bottom one is denominator, and
These two numbers are separated by a line.

Let us consider two different fractions with different denominators

$\frac{10}{15}$

$\frac{2}{5}$

Lets subtract the two fractions

$\frac{10}{15}-\frac{2}{5}\:\:\:\:$

$\mathrm{Cancel\:}\frac{10}{15}:\quad \frac{2}{3}$

$=\frac{2}{3}-\frac{2}{5}$

$\mathrm{Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}3,\:5:\quad 15$

$\mathrm{Adjust\:Fractions\:based\:on\:the\:LCM}$

$\mathrm{For}\:\frac{2}{3}:\:\mathrm{multiply\:the\:denominator\:and\:numerator\:by\:}\:5$

$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2\cdot \:5}{3\cdot \:5}=\frac{10}{15}$

$\mathrm{For}\:\frac{2}{5}:\:\mathrm{multiply\:the\:denominator\:and\:numerator\:by\:}\:3$

$\frac{2}{5}=\frac{2\cdot \:3}{5\cdot \:3}=\frac{6}{15}$

$=\frac{10}{15}-\frac{6}{15}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}$

$=\frac{10-6}{15}$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:10-6=4$

$=\frac{4}{15}$

Therefore,

$\frac{10}{15}-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{4}{15}$

How many pounds of cashew nuts worth 75 cents a pound must be mixed with 10 pounds of pecans worth $1.50 a pound to make a mixtu

Trava [24]

Let c represent the weight of cashews and p the weight of pecans.

Then c + 10 = total weight of the nut mixture.

An equation for the value of the mixture follows:

$1.50(10 lb) + $0.75c = (c+10)($1.00)

Solve this equation for c: 15 + .75c = c + 10. Subtract .75c from both sides:

15 = 1c - 0.75c + 10. Then 5=0.25c, and c = 5/0.25, or 20.

Need 20 lb of cashews.

Check: the pecans weigh 10 lb and are worth $1.50 per lb, so the total value of the pecans is $15. The total value of the cashews is (20 lb)($0.75/lb), or $15. Does (20 lb + 10 lb)($1/lb) = $15 + $15? Yes. So c= 20 lb is correct.
