First of all, you know that a fraction is smaller than 1 if the top number is smaller than the bottom. It works both ways, meaning that if the top number is larger than the bottom number, the fraction is greater than 1.
So, for example, a fraction less than 1 can be expressed as
(x-1)/x
because the top number is smaller than the bottom number.
The reciprocal can be found by flipping the top and the bottom, so the reciprocal is
x/(x-1)
x is always greater than x-1, so in the reciprocal, the top number will be larger than the bottom number. That means it will always be greater than 1.
Hope this helps!
(Sorry if this is confusing)
To figure out if the ordered pairs are a solution to the equations, you would need to plug in the points. Your points are ordered as (x,y)
You would plug in the number that's in the x spot in x, and the number in the y spot in y.
Let's start of with the first problem:
First thing you would do is plug in (-1) to x, and 6 to y.
Your equations would look like this:
6(-1) + 3(6) = 18
2(-1) + 6 = 7
What you would now do is solve the equations. When you solve them, you would get these answers
12 = 18
4 = 7
For #1, it would be no solution because the numbers do not equal each other. (Fun fact) If one of them ends up as a solution, but the other is no solution, the answer would be no solutions because BOTH of them have to be a solution to the equations given in order to be a solution.
If you do the same strategy, (plugging in the numbers to x and y), you would get the rest of the answers for the problems.
I hope this helps, if you need any more assistance, I would be glad to help!
Answer:
joe mama-
Step-by-step explanation:
Find slope (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Pick points: (1,10) , (2,8)
(8-10)/(2-1) = -2/1 = -2
Y = -2x + b
10 = -2 + b, b = 12
It would be the first response
12 = initial while -2 is rate of change
